Baby Yodaaaa

So, the video above is just something I found on Youtube for Baby Yoda. I haven't even watched it myself. XD I can't think of anything for this, so I am just gonna list some Baby Yoda facts.

1. Baby Yoda is not actually Yoda

Despite being nicknamed Baby Yoda, those of you who haven't seen The Mandalorian or if you're just not a Star Wars fan might not know that he is actually not the baby version of , the green Grandmaster of the Jedi Order from Episodes I – VI.

2. Baby Yoda is the same species as Yoda

Not much is known about Yoda's species – heck, we don't even know what his species is called or where they're from, hence this little green guy being nicknamed "Baby Yoda".

But one thing I (almost) know for sure is that he is definitely the same species as the Grandmaster.

3. Baby Yoda is actually 50 years old

As you'll recall from Return, Yoda told us he was 900 years old before he died.

There are a few (and I mean a few) species that have incredibly long lifespans in the Star Wars universe, including Maz Kanata from the sequel-era trilogy who is over 1,000 years old in The Force Awakens.

Baby Yoda's age is given to us, and the titular Mandalorian, in the first episode when the Client, played sublimely by Werner Herzog, tells Pedro Pascal's Mandalorian his intended bounty is 50 years old.

Now, this is a very interesting little bit of info. But why?

Although his age when joining the Order wasn't known, it was known that he had attained the rank of Jedi Master by the age of 96.

So, if Baby Yoda is 50 years old and still a toddler, then we can safely assume that the aging cycle of his species has been changed by Disney.

Either that or we're going to see Baby Yoda do some super fast growing up rather soon...
