One of
The Mandalorian's biggest talking points has been "Baby Yoda," and there's now a lot of excitement surrounding what the adorable character means for the wider
Star Wars Universe.
During a recent interview to promote
Knives Out,
Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson revealed that he visited the set of the Disney+ TV series last month and seeing as filming is currently taking place on season two, there's a very good chance he's dropped a big spoiler!
"He’s amazing!" Johnson said after being asked about Star Wars' cutest new character. "I visited the set of ‘The Mandalorian’ a month ago, and I spotted Baby Yoda in the corner and the producer shot me a look as if to say, ‘you can’t say a word!’ I’ve been holding that secret in my heart for forever now. And the memes are amazing. I’m very pro-Baby Yoda."
Where's the spoiler? Well, if Johnson saw Baby Yoda on the set of the series just last month, that likely means the mysterious, Force-sensitive being will play a role in season two of the show. It's also possible that they just had the puppet lying around somewhere, of course, but it seems the main focus of The Mandalorian moving forward will be the Mando protecting this child.
