Werepuppy's A Doll A Day Challenge 2020

[werepuppy]

I'm glad there is a good Star Wars series that fans enjoy. Baby Yoda is adorable! Is it Yoda before he became known as Yoda, or is it a baby of the same species, but not Yoda?

Baby of the same species that gets called Baby Yoda because we otherwise don't know the name. 

An Unearthly Child, indeed.

Same question as neon_jellyfish asked: is it actually Yoda, or merely the same species as Yoda?

That reminds me, I'm hoping to somehow make a new 1:6 scale Susan. Not that the Sindy I use isn't great, I would just like one a bit more in line with the rest of the Doctor Who squad around here...

Also yeah just the same species. 

Aw, adorable :3 And I agree, The Mandalorian is a great series, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it, which was such a relief after my great disappointment with Episode 9 (let's not even talk about it... I've known and heard of many Star Wars fans disappointed by the franchise, but I wasn't one of them - not until Episode 9, that is. I'm even among the rarer species who also liked the prequels. But after watching the last episode... I've actually been feeling down and depressed for days. So this is how it feels to be let down by the franchise you like? It sucks big time  ). The Mandalorian, while very predictable and filled with clichés in many ways, was something that kept me excited all along. It's also something I would have happily rewatched right after we finished it. A friend of mine who saw the series before me, described how she&her husband watched it as "We just couldn't stop. We went "Let's just watch another episode" again, and again. We had to force-convince ourselves to pause when we couldn't hold back going to the toilet anymore" - back then I laughed, now I understand

To answer the question about The Child: no, it is not Yoda. The Mandalorian takes place in a time after Yoda's death. Yoda's species is unknown/not named, and this baby character also doesn't yet have a known name, so I guess the obvious resemblance made it the easiest for fans to just call it Baby Yoda. I'm looking forward to the 2nd series, and I'm interested to see if it will reveal anything about the species, and whether this baby is a relative of Yoda. Doing the math, Yoda was still alive when this baby was born (its age is revealed in the series), so that could be a possibility, though it shouldn't necessarily be a thing just because they are of the same species and are both force-sensitive.

Oh gods, Episode 9... I admit that while I'm watching it, I do have a bit of fun. Like I can admit that in the wathing there's enough pleasing things there that it can be fun. But then the minute I think on any of it, I feel a mixture of anger and disappointment. They swung and they missed and they didn't really give anything completely new - Force healing was from Legends originally and it at least gave the idea the time to let people accept it as a thing that could be done. 

I'm kind of hoping that Luke Skywalker's new Jedi Academy will pop up in the Mandalorian. It's set five years after Return of the Jedi and we're never given a time frame for when the school started. Mostly I want to see this because Mandalorian culture does not look too kindly on the Jedi... 

Squishy & adorable.

We haven’t watched The Mandalorian yet, but I am looking forward to doing so at some point.

It is surprisingly good. Like I did not eect to enjoy it and yet, I really do. 

Boy am I out of date with all the movies/series.  I keep seeing "baby Yoda" things and ads for "The Mandalorian" but I don't have Disney or Netflix or wherever it is.      The little one is cute though.
Nice posing of the dancers.

It's on Disney Plus, but I would assume that they would eventually release it on DVD or digital download at some point. 

Thank you!
