I feel bad for whoever designed the new webcam on a wheel droid for this movie. Like they prob thought they were making the cutest new star war thing ever that everyone would love that would be sold everywhere and have tons of memes and stuff then baby yoda came out he prob opened his veins in a warm bathtub.

I have soft spot for that little robot because he has the same personality as my dog. Skittish but very polite.

Does the new movie ever explain what "muklunkey" means?

Maclunkey is a Rodian word that means "I am going to try to shoot you right now, so it's okay if you shoot me back because it will be legitimate self-defence."

Star Wars has been saying "clones did it" since forever.

poo poo, at one point, Lando (FREAKING LANDO) was supposed to be a type example of one of the different clone templates used in the Clone Wars.

If you go back far enough in the internet history, back into the Usenet days, you can find people seriously debating if Obi-Wan's name was really OB-1, a model of clone from the war, and that Ben was a specific individual clone.

Before the prequels it really was the drat wild west when it came to fan theories about all the "unexplained events" in the OT. People generally took the EU as de facto canon but even then you'd find crazy stuff or stuff that contradicted the other stuff or the old "that's not a film so it doesn't count".

It’s certainly what I thought for as long as I could remember. Old Ben/OB, it was a perfectly logical thing to assume before the prequels came out.

Leland Chee was hired to create an official canon tier scheme. Regardless of how mad fans got or what Lucas said, canon before Disney went:

G-canon: The original 6 movies and any statements by Lucas himself

T-canon: The TV shows

C-canon: Books, games, comics, non-theatrical films, and other EU content

S-canon: Old content made before attempts at making a consistent continuity and of an ambiguous canonicity (like the Marvel Star Wars comics)

Anything that was contradicted by a higher level was non-canon while anything that wasn’t contradicted was canon. This means, for instance, that the broad events of a video game were canon but gameplay mechanics weren’t.

When Disney took over they declared that the only canon was the 9 movies, the Clone Wars and Rebels CG cartoons, and all approved works after a certain date. Chee is still employed and working to keep the new canon consistent. That said, the new creators are free to use any aspects of the old Legends canon in new works as long as they can find a proper way to integrate it. We’ve seen enough stuff come back or get referenced that I wouldn’t discount anything from the old canon being utilized, like a reference to Xim the Despot or the XR-85 droid tanks.

Baby Yoda is literally Yoda. It’s a clone of Yoda. The scientist who wanted to study him had a patch from the Kaminoan cloning facilities and Moff Gideon said he’s “not what you think”. Is it even really in dispute at this point?

Isn't there a conversation with Quiil in ep 7 where he says flat out that the baby seems to be natural and not engineered?

Yes, though that’s on the basis of it not having the perfected design of an engineered being (“Too ugly”). It doesn’t mean he’s not a clone of a member of that species.

Yeah, I took that as a wink towards the audience: "we know some of you are going to think he's a clone; he's not, give it a rest".

They could have been using an auto frequency scanner (a thing that actually exists).
Another option is they were using old imperial gear to communicate which was broadcasting on standard imp frequencies

Speeder bikes seem to have some serious communications equipment on them.

In Return of the Jedi, we see they have a button just for jamming communications.

Crossposting wholesomeness from the FFG RPG thread because Baby Yoda has gotten my own babies into The Star Wars in a way none of the films ever did:

Ran my kids through a truncated version of the EotE beginner module. Highlight was definitely an inspired use of the droid's meager deception pool by my 9-year-old.

"I tell the docking control officer I need her to release the clamps on the ship in docking bay? What was it... Auresh?"
"That's right. She says "And why should I do that?'"
"'I'm docking control droid 374. The ship has to leave in precisely 4.5 minutes.'"
"'But you look like a medical droid?'"
"'There's a very bad sickness on the ship, it needs to be quarantined.'"
"'I didn't get any Imperial Commerce Commision notification of quarantine-- but I don't want any sickness spreading here under my watch. What about the firefight we heard outside?'"
"'One of your security droids malfunctioned.'"

I gave her two advantage dice on the deceit roll because you gotta reward ad-libbing with the lie that well.

"Okay, I better shut the other one down remotely and do a full diagnostic."

My 3 year old daughter is obsessed with Baby Yoda. She has a description for each episode she wants to watch. Episode 2 is "Mandolorian fights the Rhino and falls in the mud", Episode 4 is "Baby Yoda and the Scary Robot", Episode 5 is "Baby Yoda is left alone". Rest don't have enough baby Yoda to be worth watching.

I made a Baby Yoda for her, and I thought I'd share - pretty happy with how it turned out.




Older daughter wanted one too, so I made a soup drinking one too!

Said absurdity would actually be funny if the people who actually came forward about actual abuses weren't routinely punished for it and their perpetrators were actually punished for literally raping people.

"What if social justice, but not taken seriously" isn't a joke. It's the status quo.
