The second season 2 episode of The Mandalorian, "The Passenger," found Din Djarin ferrying a new alien character and her precious cargo to her home planet, and it featured a running gag which saw The Child, aka Baby Yoda, seizing every opportunity to eat one of her eggs.
Some saw the funny side, but a lot of viewers were appalled by what they perceived to be The Child essentially devouring the nice Frog Lady's unborn children, and the episode came in for quite a lot of backlash.
Lucasfilm creative art manager Phil Szostak has now addressed fans' concerns via the following Tweet, confirming a popular theory that "Frog Lady's eggs are unfertilized, like the chicken eggs many of us enjoy," while also acknowledging that Baby Yoda's repeated scoffing of the eggs was "intentionally disturbing, for comedic effect."
What did you guys make of BY eating Frog Lady's eggs? Did you find it disturbing, or do you feel people are making far too much of it?
