the Child - AKA Baby Yoda
A mysterious 50 year old baby of the same species as famed Jedi master Yoda. Wanted by an Imperial remnant operating several years after the destruction of the second Death Star, many bounty hunters were dispatched to hunt him down, but only one succeeded: the Mandalorian. While Mando initially turned in the infant, guilt lead him to stealing the Child back, taking it along with him on his journeys. Despite being an infant, the Child is strong in the Force and saves Mando as much as he saves him. While pretty much everybody calls this little guy “Baby Yoda,” he’s not actually a young version of Yoda, just an infant of the same species. It’s also not an official name for him either - official merchandise licensed by Disney™ stresses that his name is “the Child.” But call him Baby Yoda all you like.
