The hero of 2019,
Baby Yoda was. But cheap to make, he was not. Actor Adam Pally found that out after
punching the cute co-star of
The Mandalorian a little too hard while shooting
the season finale, he recently told
Entertainment Weekly.
In his role as a scout trooper in the
Jon Favreau-produced
Disney Plus Star Wars show, Pally seemingly "took a big swing" when he punched the little green guy in the first take of the scene, so Favreau let him know how much the puppet was worth.
"'I just want to let you know that this is the hero Yoda [the main prop used for close-ups], and it costs, like, $5 million. So, while I want you to hit it, I just want you to know that.'" Favreau said, according to Pally.
