Everyone knows its 50 years old, but we haven't really been given any reason to think that it's mentally advanced past its physical appearance (other than like I said, it's use of the force.)
I understand what you're saying, but I guess I dont completely understand the discussion. Yes it looks young. But we were told it's 50 years old, and that not all species develop the same, and have seen it use the force. I guess I dont know what more 'reason' we need.
We know what we know at this point. We've got a 50 year old baby that can wield some powers.
I think Ahsoka and Sabine will pick him up.

Yeah, I was just theorizing that maybe, given its intentional use of the force, could be a clue that it's mentally further along than we had reason to believe previously.
Until that moment, it kind of just seemed like if you took a human baby's development and reeeeeaaaaally stretched it out. Like it was 50 years old, but couldn't communicate, fend for itself, etc.
But maybe it can? Or at least I hope it can, because if it's still an infant in every other way it being able to use the force that well would be kind of annoying.

Shouldn't baby Yoda go to Luke's academy?
Although people are going to be really mad at Kylo if that's the case....

if he doesn't magically (cheaply) appear in episode IX, Mandolorian will have to explain why he's not in 7-8-9.
What did the stab the huge monster with that gave it instant death?
So you're going to be mad when baby Yoda and broom kid are training together at Rey's Skywalker College Prep?

Watched yesterday. Totally called Baby Yoda the moment Apollo Creed's scene ended. Nailed it.
maybe it doesn't but I would wonder why isn't a powerful force user that is good not joining the biggest fight in the galaxy?
and no I won't be mad, i'll just thing he's a self-centered a-hole.

While I agree with you, it's interesting that we said the exact same thing about Luke.Quote:

Pretty sure it's already shown that it could help out in a meaningful way.
I actually think this is a potentially troubling issue for the show. The show is called The Mandalorian, but by introducing a force-using character of Yoda's species, our main character takes a back seat to a character that can't even talk in discussions of how this show fits into the larger landscape.
Like, if he passes this baby off to someone else at some point, the stakes of this show are going to seem to take a huge hit.

good point.
next topic of discussion... does anyone care about Boba Fett anymore? Even if he did manage to survive, he's probably just a security guard now.

Using average human life span as a control, baby today is roughly 4 yrs old. Seems about right.

Personally I disagree. I only care about this baby yoda in the context of what The Mandalorian will decide to do with it. The show is about him.bobinator said:

Per Wookipedia, Yoda was a master Jedi by 100. So, this "baby" yoda may be closer to pre-teen human in terms of maturity. While the cutest thing in Star Wars, it is, per the title of the episode, a child, not a baby.
I'm not saying it has to, I'm saying that by using the baby yoda character it now seems like it should. You'd think if they wanted this show to be more of a stand alone, they could have used literally almost anything else instead of a baby yoda.
But now a lot of the questions being talked about the show are about baby yoda instead of the Mandalorian.

The way I see it baby Yoda is a good way to introduce the character and build him up in something that is familiar to the general Star Wars fan base.bobinator said:

I bet he hands the baby off at some point and then becomes a hunted man with a bounty on his head for betraying the guild. Then we get John Wick in space.

I think this points to the larger issue of Disney/Lucas refusing to ever move out of the tiny box they've built for Star Wars. We've had 2 stand alone moves, 2 animated shows, a live action (and one more in the works) and EVERY one of them is stuck in between the movies.
So of course there's always the problem of how these fit with the films because the galaxy never seems to be very big.

Well it's not necessarily a problem unless they make it a problem.
That's kind of what I'm saying with this one. Had "the asset" been anything other than a baby yoda, this show would basically exist only in the world it's created so far. Sure, it's set in a bigger picture we understand, but the adventures of the Mandalorian aren't really impacting that bigger picture.
But by introducing not only a mysterious baby yoda, but also showing that baby yoda is a force user, it now ties this story into our larger picture and raises questions that impact that larger picture. Where did baby yoda come from? Is he related to Yoda? Will he grow up to join the resistance? There are so few force users out there now, that any of them seem potentially very important.
If they wanted this show to just stay within the bounds of this show, it seems like they could have picked a different character.

I guess I don't see the problem. Why is it bad for the show to be connected to the universe at large? Where was it written this show would only stay within the bounds of itself, as you said.bobinator said:

Well it's not really a problem currently, that's why I said it's a potential problem.
But if, say, the Mandalorian drops off baby yoda and we don't get any of those answers, and then he goes on some other adventure/mission that doesn't tie-in, then all of a sudden the show feels like it doesn't have anywhere near the stakes that it currently does. That's what I'm saying is potentially concerning for me.

Why is everyone wanting to make the bounty hunter a good guy? Maybe he just turns in the bounty and gets his beskar steel to build his armor out of, with his wallet that says Bad Mother ****er on it.
I honestly see this going one of two ways:Hagen95 said:

He gets the bounty, takes the money, and then deals with the regret, changes heart, and becomes the good guy. This would be cool but utterly predictable.
OR
We learn who it is that placed the bounty and that makes all the difference. Remember they preferred baby yoda to be captured alive, but would still accept him 'dead.' Whoever placed the bounty knows baby yoda won't actually be dead...
Probably because the protagonist of the series.
Your statement appears to be missing a verb?
I mean it is Disney so of course he's going to end up a good guy. This is the same studio that made Maleficent into a good character.

There's only so much mileage you can get out of a "neutral" or bad guy.
Breaking Bad was fantastic but he was a good guy in the beginning.
There needs to be an arc. So far, we haven't seen anything to suggest that he's good OR bad, but he's gotta lean towards one over the other and it will undoubtedly be the former.

Well he popped the droid that was going to kill baby yoda.
