Disney is making sure we do not cancel our Disney+ subscriptions too soon! Mando and Baby Yo are coming back, and the show looks packed with cute! I enjoy how Mando pretty much summed up two seasons of storytelling in a quick sentence. — Read the rest
Joe Dante, director of the Gremlins films (1984 and 1990), is convinced that Baby Yoda (aka Grogu) is a rip-off of Gizmo. (Watch clips of the two characters above and below.)
"I think the longevity of (the Gremlins films) is really key to this one character (Gizmo), who is essentially like a baby," Dante told the San Francisco Chronicle. — Read the rest
Rutherford County Sheriff's Captain Britt Reed said the Fentanyl found inside a Baby Yoda toy was intended to be sold in the county by a man from Michigan.
It started with the 'Yub Nub Mug' at Oga's Cantina, and now I am collecting Sci-fi themed tiki mugs (I got mine at Disneyland for a whole lot less than the $5k the linked eBay seller thinks it's worth!)
Baby Yoda brought the internet together, its adorableness somehow overpowering the divisive animosity that has otherwise ruled over this pre-post-apocalyptic era.
And now the Army's branded the Child onto the cannon of an M1 Abrams tank.
What better way to use up the "brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness" you won in the cosmic lottery than by frittering it away on assembling a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle of Baby Yoda, better known to Star Track purists as "The Child?"
Although you won't find any official toys of "the Child" from Disney's The Mandalorian in stores yet, you can decorate your tree with this authorized papercraft version of Baby Yoda in his floating bassinet.

There's a scene in the fourth episode of The Mandalorian where the unnamed child (aka Baby Yoda) is literally pushing Mando's buttons, well, the buttons on his ship anyway. Since it aired, the internet has been doing its thing — imagining Baby Yoda is playing with the ship's radio. — Read the rest
It's frankly shocking that in more than 40 years since Yoda first debuted on the big screen, no one has asked the anarcho-linguist Noam Chomsky to explain the Jedi's syntactical idiosyncrasies. But now that Baby Yoda has stolen everyone's heart, someone has finally taken him to task. — Read the rest
Various official Baby Yoda toys will be available in a few months, but anyone with access to a 3D printer can print their own right now. Christopher Frieze has posted one version for free download. It looks great as a tree topper:
Artist Allison Hoffman, aka Crafty is Cool, is an absolute master of pop culture amigurimi ("a portmanteau of the Japanese words ami, meaning 'crocheted or knitted,' and nuigurumi, meaning 'stuffed doll'"). She can crochet like nobody's business and each of her pieces are a work of art (previously). — Read the rest
After a lot of trying and hardship, Jennifer and Jeff attained pregnancy — with twins! To celebrate, they put together this wicked little Star Wars mashup as an announcement of the occasion. Sheer genius — and enjoy the spare time to produce stuff like this while you can, J&J! — Read the rest
If you're looking for a way to turn a baby into a major unlicensed cuton emitter (well beyond the threshold set by the Federal Cuteness Commission) this Hallowe'en, then you could do worse than to whip up a set of these crocheted Yoda ears, as one crafty parent did. — Read the rest
After killing many Aliens, Sigourney Weaver has been cast next to one of the cutest.
In a wide-ranging interview with Deadline about her body of work and her upcoming Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Film Festival, Sigourney Weaver drops some huge news:
