The Mandalorian.

[VG_Addict]

Anyone watching The Mandalorian on DIsney+? It's really good.

[steeze]

It's the only reason I have a purpose on Mondays.

[Calamity Panfan]

It's fine

[CaptHayfever]

Yup. I haven't yet seen the episode right before Ep 9 opened. (Or Ep 9, for that matter.)

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

[United Nations]

Yes, I love it. It’s what I wish the movies were like. I’m not caught up though.

[Deku Tree]

Spoiler.

So I was thinking about the ending to Season 2 again and thought of something new that I liked about it: Ahsoka wouldn't take Grogu because she saw Anakin's fall to the Dark Side, but Luke was willing to because he saw Vader turn back to the Light Side.

So I've watched not one moment of the Mandalorian.

I'm currently employed as a picker at Amazon. And so I know firsthand how much goddamn Baby Yoda merch exists, and how much goddamn Baby Yoda merch goddamn people buy. And so the next time anyone tries to tell me that Ewoks or Jar Jar Binks are the worst part of Star Wars, I'm going to be fully justified in stomping them to death with me hobnailed boots on.

Don't nobody buy Ewok or Jar Jar stuff. Everybody buys Baby Yoda stuff. My older cousins shoved me for liking Ewoks when I was a kid. Ewoks are cool, damn it! They knuckle up and fight the Empire at the drop of a hat!

Baby Yoda's the face of the dang franchise right now. I bet them same crummy cousins have Baby Yoda shirts and iPhone cases and pyjama bottoms and stuffies and fleece blankets and Funko Pops and sh*t. Wao. Go to hell.

Every time I pick Baby Yoda merch, I hear Mel Brooks' voice deep down inside. 'SpaceBalls the tee-shirt! SpaceBalls the coloring book! SpaceBalls the flamethrower!'

[steeze]

all the pickers at amazon:

everyone else:

[Booyakasha]

I will kill you, Steeze! You Atreides scum! You dog! You fool!

[steeze]

I'M GONNA ORDER EVEN MORE LIL YODIES NOW!

[Booyakasha]

You should regurgitate some chewed-up worms for Baby Yoda to eat. Clearly you love him as only a mother bird could.

[VG_Addict]

Of course Baby Yoda merchandise is everywhere. Baby Yoda was made to be as marketable as possible.

[Booyakasha]

I don't know if Baby Yoda was intentionally made to be as marketable as possible. Like, they tried to make Jar Jar as marketable as possible, and they failed.

You know, R2-D2 is marketable as hell. Like. From a visual standpoint, R2-D2 is really good.

My mom had an R2-D2 cake pan. She made me R2-D2 birthday cakes. It wasn't that I liked R2-D2 all that much (although I did)--------it was more that I loved Star Wars, and R2-D2 was that iconic. R2-D2 was there from the word 'go'. Yoda wasn't. Baby Yoda really wasn't.

[steeze]

Boo just because the show made you pull a whole bunch of merch at your job doesn't mean that he isn't an iconic tv persona. Idk if it was intentional but I mean. The whole first season is wrapped up around him. Wouldn't be far fetched to think they did it intentionally.

[Booyakasha]

Yeah, I guess. Not really a big deal.

I need to mellow out. I let myself get hung up on dumb stuff. It's unhealthy.

[steeze]

nah the anger keeps aliveeeeeeeeee

[Booyakasha]

...oh yeah. I forgot the words of wisdom from my gampy Palpatine------------my hate makes me powerful.

Killing younglings is cool, and what is Baby Yoda if not the youngest youngling of them all?

(EDIT: I mean, killing younglings is cool, as long as you don't use a lightsabre, or batlh'etlh, or wizard wand, or sonic screwdriver. None of that nerd crap. Or, like, you could go super-nerd and use a lirpa. Lirpas are good biz. Or, like, if you have access to the actual living phurba dagger from 'The Shadow', or the Glaive from 'Krull', those would be sick.

Killing younglings is cool, and what is Baby Yoda if not the youngest youngling of them all?

The oldest youngling, probably.

[Booyakasha]

Well, yeah. That's why you get him while he's a baby. Nip it in the bud, before to talk incorrectly he learns and a gibbering imbecile sounds he like. Otherwise annoying he becomes and a pain in the ass listening to him is, until to him you want 'me eat' to tell.

[CaptHayfever]

The oldest youngling, probably.

Yep, he would've been like 25 years old at the time of the purge.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"
