I just looked it up and the Mandalorian is apparently 5 years after ROTJ.

So that works out to nine years before the Phantom Menace.

BUT THE MEEEEEEMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEESSS

Remember that one line in RoTJ Yoda says "when 900 years old you reach look as good you do not"? Well, they basically made an entire TV show from that line, as they are wont to do with Star War.

Please to complete this joke imagine me standing up and saying "I KNOW THAT THING" while pointing at the Baby Yoda.

I mean they could easily write themselves out of it by saying hes only 1 and the 50 year old thing was just a cover to obscure its true identity to the bounty hunters who hadn't found him yet and thus didn't need all those people to know.

No real species or fictional species has ever aged that way. At most you have stuff like hobbits or elves in extended adolescence but fifty year old elves or wookies aren't toddlers.

The sole reason hes 50 is to be a fakeout against audience expectations of what a 50 year old bounty looks like.

If I was Luke and about to kill Ben and he woke up and saw me, I'd be like "Very good, young Ben. A, uh, true Jedi has to be aware of his surroundings even in sleep, you uh sensed the moment I lit my lightsaber, that uh means you're ready for the next part of your training. Yeah that's the ticket"

So I went to the mandalorian beskar smith to pick up my curiass the other day, and she was like do you have your ticket? I reached into my wallet and pulled out a slip, and she said no that's not it. I pulled out another one, and she said no, that's not it either. Then I pulled out another slip and she was like "yeah, that's the ticket!"

Because I was using the... Force. A special cloaking power to hide my presence... which you saw right through. Of which bloodshot eyes are a side effect. It is to early for you to learn that, and besides as you just saw it didn't even work. Also I've had a stroke

Maybe Yodas are like locusts. They spend years as a grub that just sits around eating, then go through a quick metamorphosis and emerge as full adults without all that awkward growing up that mammals have to do. During the season finale Mando will wake up to find Baby Yoda replaced with a cocoon that at the most climatic moment bursts open to reveal a fully grown Yoda.
