Jon Favreau confirms that Baby Yoda isn't Yoda - scotthings1958

Curious minds have been wondering about the origins of Baby Yoda of all time since the character was introduced in The Mandalorian Goggle bo series along Disney Plus. Given that Baby Yoda has quickly become one of the nigh painting Star Wars characters ever, you might be dumbfounded to learn that the name "Baby Yoda" is more of a false pretense than anything. In fact, the name Baby Yoda isn't even mentioned in The Mandalorian at all. In the establish, it is simply referred to as "The Minor."

Jon Favreau, the Lord of The Mandalorian, spoke with United States Army Today in the lead-up to the Golden Globes 2020 all but Coddle Yoda and confirms exactly what we thought all along: Baby Yoda isn't Yoda in the least. There's a reason the show just calls IT "The Child", and that's part because there's no name for Yoda's species. A of this point in time, we've only if ever seen ane other appendage of Yoda's species in some Star Wars moving-picture show or television show.

Yaddle was one of the members of the Jedi Council during the time frame of Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace. As the only other legendary member of Yoda's species, and a female one at that, plenty of fans have speculated that this child could be the young 'tween the cardinal, and the math certainly adds upbound therein theory. The Phantom Imperil takes place roughly 42 years before the events in The Mandalorian, and we cognize from the show that The Child is 50 old age old.

What's obvious is that Baby Yoda isn't a baby version of the lovable 900-year-hand-down green Jedi master. After all, the Mandalorian doesn't go on 850 old age before the original Headliner Wars theatrical trilogy (Episodes 4-6).

Per Jon Favreau:

The serial publication timeline takes set down after 'Return of the Jedi, and fans of the pilot trilogy will remember that Yoda not alone passes away only actually disappears. So Yoda exists as a Force Ghost.

At this moment, Jon Favreau remains bad hush happening the inside information for Baby Yoda and its origins. Was it, so, the offspring of Yoda and Yaddle? Is it a clone of Yoda as the Kaminoan clothing eared by an Empire agent in the show might suggest? Maybe it's the data link between what happens at the remainder of Mount of Skywalker? In any case, we'll have to wait for The Mandalorian Harden 2 in Fall 2020 to begin to discovery out. Meanwhile, maybe temper 7 of The Clone Wars leave pinch at something for U.S.A to conjecture on more.
