The Mandalorian discussion thread

One of the many great things about this series is that they went with a muppet rather than doing him in CGI. I've always felt that Frank Oz's physical Yoda was far more expressive than the voiced-over CGI version of the prequels.
Baby Yoda Grogu has held to that, showing all kinds of expressiveness in his scenes. I don't know who the puppeteer is, but he (she?) does a great job with him.

I'm with you 100%. Empire Yoda will always be my Yoda. The Phantom Menace Yoda was suspect at best. One of the weirdest things I have ever seen lol. Then they had to do the CGI version because Yoda was fighting and stuff and they did the best they could.

This series is doing a perfect job with Grogu (a.k.a "Baby Yoda). I haven't seen a single thing that looked bad so far.
