I didn't watch the Mandalorian, so everything I know about it is from social media, and I clearly don't know much, because I'm confused about one big thing: is baby Yoda in the Mandalorian the same Yoda from the movies, who trained Luke Skywalker, etc? Or just a different character, same species? And if it's a different character, why in the hell doesn't it have a different name?
It's a different character, and officially its name is The Child. Baby Yoda is the fan nickname.
It does have a different name! Man, it turns out that getting all my (extremely limited) information from social media isn't as foolproof as I thought it was!

Wait, WHAT??!!!! Next you'll be saying my compulsive doomscrolling is a terrible way to read the news...
Don't be ridiculous, Steph. Everyone knows the True Name is Baby Yoda even if no one in universe knows that.
I have actually caught up with the Mandalorian and am ready to start in on Season 2! Not like Clone Wars which I keep looking at and despairing of figuring out where I left off or if I remember anything from what I did see.
Baby Yoda is the red panda of the SW universe.
I watched the new episode of The Mandalorian and I have some questions...some of which I guess I should have had last season.
I watched it, too. Poor banthas .
Ok I don't have to spoiler font because it's weekly so non questions thoughts are:
There should have been more smof Baby Yoda's ears flippity flapping in the wind.
Also that episode was so incredibly Space Western. I kind of got distracted noting all the Western tropes.
The question is about the timeliness. For some reason I wasn't clear on when this takes place in the Star Wars timeline and also how well known Jedis were because it just seems like the armorer talked about them as a mysterious race from long ago but in the Star wars universe even though they weren't around it hadn't been that long since there were active Jedis.
Or is this more of isolation and not a lot of communication between planets.
