great before the introduction of baby Yoda would be met with unanimous fanfare
a first for the franchise with many past attempts at new characters resulting in
outrage by fans Jar Jar Binks anyone the reason why I almost sent in my life on
the Brooklyn Bridge was because 20 years ago I played Jar Jar Binks in Star Wars
Yanks is that too much too soon before baby Yoda would dominate meme culture
and we'd get a shout out from the meme God himself PewDiePie when you look at
yourself in the monitor at the store I do that I still do that and I'm 30
before baby Yoda would inspire countless memes and find himself taking a ride in
Elon Musk cyber truck and uttering his first words
okay boomer Wow the other way around boom ah okay it's official baby Yoda has
dominated the internet and the fine folks at Disney will they're pissed
because they didn't move fast enough I'm making toys for the Christmas holidays
not to Fred you can head on over to Amazon or Etsy and buy some of these
homemade one-of-a-kind pieces there's this there's this what the hell is that
my god a little bit too green it's weird because in person he doesn't look as
green as he does in photos or in video when in doubt make it yourself actually
that last one it wasn't too bad now I feel like I might be a little late to
the party with this one but with baby Yoda is still pulling in
125 million search results at the time of this recording well I thought what
the hell I'm actually a closet Star Wars nerd
truth be told what's going on guys this point Michael cretin tackling the rising
popularity of the character and the mean baby Yoda here for you of course before
there are famous now last week we dropped a similar video on cyber truck
and it actually did pretty good and we got a ton more videos coming for you
guys before the end of the year actually Who am I kidding I'll be doing this come
January February as always be sure to subscribe to run them post notifications
alright I'll see you after the intro
hey be sure to subscribe and hit that Bell boom baby Yoda first came to the
world's attention via a galaxy far far away in the Mandalorian available at
Disney Plus which was first released on November 12 2009 teen
okay maybe the galaxy wasn't that far away that actually looked like Earth
maybe it was Naboo no following the release of the initial episode
conversations began on Twitter with people using the hashtag baby Yoda from
there the press they began to produce news coverage and I'm talking about
vulture Collider BuzzFeed news week the ringer and more even a bombs world they
got to work gathering newly emerging memes and I know e bums world was still
a thing now there are Calais beams but let's go through some of the early phase
Jedi I am bottle I need baby Yoda cannon baby you too cannon baby Yoda cannon I
haven't no baby Yoda for long but if anything happens I will throw hands he
was also seen hanging out with the Pope and Pikachu and finally 50 years old I
am amazing do I look so Star Wars can you say well technically there isn't a
whole lot about Yoda species out there with George Lucas actually forbidding
anyone from delving into the character's past but the die-hard Star Wars fans
well they wanted answers and they wanted them immediately known to ask you a
bunch of questions now want to have them answered immediately know people started
pointing fingers at a female Jedi Master known as yeah doll she appeared in 1999
episode 1 The Phantom Menace afraid are you no sir I actually like the Phantom
Menace epic fight scene at the end amazing music was not to like besides
Jar Jar
no one theory is that baby Yoda he is the son of Yoda and ya know who well the
girl just ain't easy on the eyes yikes no details on ya know they're
pretty slim she was 500 years old at the time of her
appearance of The Phantom Menace no Yoda he was around eight hundred and thirty
years old during Episode one and nine hundred years old at the time of this
passing when 900 years old you reach look as good you or not so if Yoda is
indeed the father well good for him for getting it on in the senior citizen
years although in this scene well he should have at least known that he may
have had a kid
yeah
no yeah a ttle she didn't appear in any of the other prequels or sequels and is
said to have been killed between the first and second episodes while
defending Anakin and obi-wan now a few Star Wars experts they've actually done
the math and it's possible that Yael and Yoda they got it on and are the parents
- the 50 year old baby Yoda so that's one theory no other theories include
much like Anakin Skywalker will baby Yoda which is now been named it'll well
he's the product of a virgin birth by way of midi-chlorian manipulation that
makes him well one with the universe the force is strong with him
in fact he basically is the force and if that theory is correct
well that means Anakin Skywalker he ain't the only one
then we're also talking about a universe that underwent the Clone Wars so there's
a slight chance that baby Yoda is a clone of the original now you know I
know that we got that out of the way let's talk about the creation of baby
Yoda now Disney Star Wars and Marvel they've
all seen massive success with characters taking on baby identities baby Groot he
quickly became a fan favorite and then the Star Wars animated series we were
introduced to Rada the hot she's the daughter of the late and great Jabba now
hardcore fans they seem to like more of what they love and are resistant to new
characters so it makes a whole lot of sense for the idea of a baby Yoda to be
cooked up executive producer of the Mandalorian Jon Favreau he didn't want
the toy to be produced prior to the release of the series to keep it a
surprise but he did reveal some concept art
following the character's virality which melted a few 100,000 hearts no Star Wars
Episode one and three were heavily produced via CGI so much so that people
were actually missing the authenticity that the original films delivered to
their audience now with this in mind the more recent Star Wars films they've been
a great mix of CGI with proper set pieces and a return to puppetry baby
Yoda is actually the work of a team of puppeteers or technicians now just to be
safe they filmed the scenes both with the puppet and as a blank just in case
they needed to use the CGI but in the end Jon Favreau
well he told The Hollywood Reporter he's mostly a puppet when it's CG we try to
make him obey the same physical laws that he would if he were a puppet if the
puppet is so lifelike that people began interacting with it on set as if it were
alive no Disney they knew they'd hit a home run with the lovable character and
although they went to work making toys and merch for other characters in the
mandalorian well they kept baby Yoda a secret now this was again Jon Favreau's
plan he told The Hollywood Reporter by holding back on that one product we knew
that we may have had the disadvantage of not having toys available day and day
but what we got in exchange was an excitement surrounding the character
because everybody felt like they discovered him together that emulated
bore what my experience growing up was like no another interesting thing is
their foresight into the success of beam culture
now it's impossible to look at that shot from Episode four of him sipping broth
from an oversized mug and not immediately think of permits if ik sub T
then means to be everywhere and they have for a very long time though there
was also the moment where baby Yoda he clicks on some button to turn on the
radio and that's been reproduced countless times
there's creators adding their own spin I've heard Britney Spears I've heard
anime Christmas song well the renditions that go on and on
Hoshi this one'll cousin Ione
now at the end of the day there's no stopping the fanfare surrounding baby
Yoda and if he lives even half as long as ya --dl well this guy could be the
New Jedi hero for a couple hundred years so look forward to that I'm actually
really excited to see where they're going with Star Wars I mean that like my
nieces and nephews they're gonna get their own variation and like with aliens
being the coolest thing under the Sun for your imagination it's just a very
exciting time and I'm happy they're like they're bringing these characters back
and baby 4 because if they bring back someone new like Jar Jar Binks
everyone's just gonna lose their you know I mean all right guys I'm wrapping
up this video let me know what you think about baby Yoda what do you think of the
Mandalorian now I haven't been able to get my hands on Disney plus I can't get
it on my smart TV for whatever reason but when I do get it I'm gonna be
crushing a lot of it but I do have a lot of videos to produce for you guys
because it's the end of the year we got top fives we got before they're famous
we got where are they now we got the rich life and the views been going up
like crazy on this channel so thank you guys very much
an early Christmas for me all right that's enough for me I'll see you guys
in another video
