He is a cynical creation to sell toys, make memes, and melt the hearts of the female audience members. He thus far adds nothing to the show and hamstrings a decent show from becoming possibly more.

Fight me.

I get where you are coming from, but I disagree.

I had no idea about anything going into the show, I watched it when it dropped so I didn't have it spoiled.

I think you are underestimating the importance and value of baby Yoda, TC. I didn't see it coming, and it grabbed me in. Most creatures you see multiples of in the SW universe, Yoda is like the white rhino, and now there's another one.

All cuteness aside, it's quantity over quality.

Star Wars has pretty much always existed just to sell toys since George Lucas replaced the army of the forest moon of Endor with Ewoks. They were originally Wookiees.

Correct. The Mandoliran himself and Baby Yoda exist almost entirely for this reason. The fact that they've managed to cobble together a decent enough story and world off of this premise is praise worthy alone.

Seriously though, it befuddles me how a fanbase that will spend hours debating which lightsaber style is the best is easily won over by what is essentially a Furby. This being the same group that talks out of the side of their mouths about shitting on Ewoks and Porgs.

*shakes head*

Star Wars was built around selling toys. It's doing exactly what it's supposed to.

I mean, look at the craze it started. People are making songs about Baby Yoda.

If it weren't for the baby the Mandalorian would still be just another bounty hunter. This baby has given him purpose. To be better. To be more. To do the right thing, not just what gets him paid. It's given him a reason to step up and be a hero. To be an inspiration to his people. To remind them what true honor means. Without that reason to be more we would have just ended up with a show where he hunts down a new bounty every episode. Basically, Renegade in space. They could have given him long flowing hair that sticks out from under his helmet and had him ride around on a speeder bike that looks vaguely like a Harley with flames painted on it.

No, just that he's clearly targeted to keep female viewership.

So its subtle propaganda telling neckbeards to have kids and grow up?
