welcome back everyone it's Charlie this is going to be my new Star Wars rise of
Skywalker video for the Mandalorian in baby Yoda I got a lot of questions about
them during my rise of Skywalker videos so we'll break it down if you're brand
new to the channel be sure to subscribe to get all the videos we're doing a
merch giveaway because they finally have baby Yoda merch on sale all you have to
do to enter that is be a subscriber and leave your favorite moment from the
Mandalorian tour rise of Skywalker on the video obviously careful for spoilers
from Star Wars the rise of Skywalker as well as the Mandalorian series you
really have to know what's going on with baby Yoda during the events of that
series in what they're trying to set up with that plot to understand what's
going on later in the timeline because if you're not sure what's happening and
when it's happening in the timeline the Mandalorian series takes place five
years after Return of the Jedi the events of the new trilogy start about
thirty years after Return of the Jedi so you have to assume it baby Yoda is
around fifty years old as they said during season one of the Mandalorian he
be between 75 and 78 around the time brides of Skywalker is happening the
Mandalorian is quite a bit younger than baby Yoda though because he was around 7
or 8 during the events of the Clone Wars because you see the giant separatist
battle droids come and end his parents so during the events of the new trilogy
the Mandalorian would be in his late 60s early 70s just for the sake of
comparison though Han Solo is about 66 during the events of force awakens he
looks way older than that just because he's got a lot of city miles on him and
Harrison Ford is 73 when they're filming that if they didn't use any of Marvel's
special D aging technology that they do in the Marvel movies making the older
actors look quite a bit younger they did it for Carrie Fisher just a little bit
but Luke Skywalker is about 53 54 during the events of last Jedi he also looks a
lot older because in real life Mark Hamill was 66 when they filmed that and
they also didn't use any special D aging technology for him so even though the
Mandalorian himself underneath that helmet Pedro Pascal's character would be
pretty old he wouldn't be extremely old baby Yoda has already shown us he's
super powerful he's been able to force choke people exhibiting some sith powers
has been able to levitate the mud horn he's been able to force heal people
which is also a power that we saw Rey use for the first time during rise of
Skywalker which previously used be like a god tier Legends ability so
baby Oda is this powerful why wouldn't he be around at the age of 75 quite a
bit older quite a bit more powerful and physically just have grown a little bit
more so he's actually physically larger in size typical humanoid children that
you see during the prequels when Yoda is training all those younglings are
between the ages of 7 and 8 when they start training so if he Otis Reis
matures at about the same rate that humans do comparatively by the time he's
70 75 almost 80 years old he would definitely be ready to start formal Jedi
training and because members of Yoda's race are always born so innately
powerful in the force and so force sensitive he would probably be as
powerful if not way more powerful than Anakin Skywalker was around the time of
Attack of the Clones after he'd had a little bit of Jedi
training under him some of the abilities we've seen baby Yoda use our abilities
that you've only seen previously from adult Jedi and Sith so you have to
assume that he's way more advanced way more powerful than any of the Jedi
you've seen before we don't hear any mention of him during rise of Skywalker
Emperor Palpatine doesn't talk about trying to track down any of the other
force sensitive people around the galaxy he's only focused on tricking Rey into
killing him in hatred so that she will fully become Sith and his force spirit
can enter her body and hopefully I think the idea is that he wants to take over
her body and that he could rule the galaxy through her form but there's this
whole subplot on the Mandalorian right now about the Empire the remnants of the
Empire through Moff Gideon's character and all the territory that he controls
and troops using baby Yoda to reestablish Imperial dominance in the
wake of the fall of the Empire returned the Jedi so there's a lot of missing
timeline if they knew about him then and he's such this topic of interest for the
former Empire then why isn't the first order looking for him why isn't Emperor
Palpatine talking about him we're really still just in season one of the
Mandalorian series so we're only just learning about the other remnants of the
Empire we just met moth Gideon so we don't know who else is working with him
besides Doctor Pershing in the cloning facility on Kamino
there was this whole subplot during rise of Skywalker about Emperor Palpatine
saying that he'd been cloning Snoke this whole time so using techniques he's
already been doing a measure of what it seems like Moff Gideon is trying to do
with baby Yoda create a new army of force-sensitive clones or at least use
some of his DNA to humanoid clones that are then force
sensitive and lived way longer in her way more powerful and easily
controllable but if the Mandalorian runs four or five seasons obviously this is
just the beginning of what their plans for baby Yoda are but I like to think
the Star Wars at least in the end tries to be as optimistic as possible even
though they kind of drag some people through the mud on the way there
George Lucas is so utterly protective of the way new Star Wars stories used the
Yoda character in Yoda's race that I don't think he would allow Dave Filoni
his surrogate son in Jon Favreau to create a new member of his race only to
then kill him off really quickly the whole concept of his race is that they
represent one of the truest connections to the force on a biological and
spiritual level the whole metaphor being that the smallest tiniest creatures are
somehow the most innately powerful so for the sake of argument let us assume
that baby Yoda is still alive in a well during the events of the new trilogy
he's probably just still in the Outer Rim territories living with the
Mandalorian who is much older now who since the events of season one has
officially become his surrogate father in a more official capacity and they
also have slowly been working to restore the Mandalorian people along with the
other people in the Mandalorian clan in addition to eventually restoring Yoda's
race but those are really really long term goals
remember how rare it is for members of Yoda's race to be born in the galaxy at
any given time there's really only one or two like yeah ttle is the only other
one that we see during the prequels and she actually left after Phantom Menace I
think the best explanation for why baby Yoda isn't around during the events of
the new trilogy or during rise of Skywalker at all why he's never
mentioned by any of the characters is mostly that he's here on the other side
of the galaxy in the Outer Rim like remember we saw them go to Tatooine
Tatooine is on the exact opposite side of the galaxy from where Palpatine is on
Exogol in the Unknown Regions we don't know exactly where that planet is we
just noticed in the unknown regions and that's this part of space way up here
the reason why the first-order probably isn't trying to hunt him down or Emperor
Palpatine isn't trying to find baby Yoda is probably because the only people who
knew of his existence during the events of the Mandalorian series were Moff
Gideon's men in his inner circle and since then they've all either been
destroyed off by the Mandalorian trying to protect baby Yoda or at some point
during the Mandalorian series they switch sides and tried to
help him like Doctor Pershing seems like he's going to eventually help them in
through their actions they're probably able to either erase all records baby
Yoda at least all Imperial records or silence all the people that would
eventually seek to do him harm so the for the most part he literally and
metaphorically flies under the radar as he continues to grow up living with the
Mandalorian under his protection you also have to assume that they were
creating the series in thinking about creating the character while they were
actually filming and working on rise of Skywalker so it was probably too late in
the game to actually stuff him in and because they spent so much time trying
to keep a lid on the secret of baby Yoda being introduced in the Mandalorian
series there's no merchandise they didn't put him in any of the marketing
so they probably wanted to keep him out of rise of Skywalker on purpose just to
help keep the secret but I think the idea is presumably after the events of
the rise of Skywalker ending scene where Rey berries Luke and Leia's lightsabers
and then names herself a Skywalker she sets out on the task of finding other
force sensitive beings around the galaxy and creating a new Jedi Temple with the
help of the Jedi Tech's which she's kept Finn is a really good example of a new
force sensitive person now confirmed by the filmmakers and by John boyega
himself he would probably wind up being one of her first Padawans and no idea
where broom boy was when this was all happening or if it even noticed that he
was force sensitive when they were on canto bite but the whole idea of the new
trilogy is that there are all these force sensitive people out there all
over the place and it's just on rate to spend the rest of her life finding them
and rebuilding the Jedi Order and eventually at some point baby Yoda would
cross paths with her they would sense each other through the force across the
galaxy and keep in mind even if he waited a couple years after the events
of rise of Skywalker he would be rounding out aged 80 by the time that
happened eventually he would have to find someone else to help take care of
baby Yoda if he was not already able to take care of himself
so if you're still a little confused about what's going on there is no baby
Yoda or a Mandalorian during rise of Skywalker anywhere there is a minor
easter egg in the background of this giant fleet when all the ships come to
fight on x ago you see all these different types of ships in the
background there is a ship right here that looks like the same configuration
as the Mandalorians razor crest ship I think it's safer to assume that babe
Yoda will eventually show up in the movies set after the events of rise of
Skywalker everyone post your theories in the comments below
where is baby Yoda hiding out during the events of the new trilogy the
Mandalorian Episode 8 finale is going to be on Friday of course I'll post my video
