The second season of Star Wars: The Mandalorian it’s only a few months away, and fans are eager to know what’s next for the main characters, especially Baby Yoda. The first season ended with the revelation that Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) had the Darksaber, which probably means bad news for Mando and his position. Esposito recently spoke to ET And he talked about how it has been to act in a show with the mega-star that is Baby Yoda.

“Look, you know, being on set with this baby … Everyone, as cast members, Werner [Herzog] and me Pedro [Pascal], everyone has said different things about this Yoda very, very irresistible. I knew it the first time I saw him that he was going to be the star of the show. “He added:” I just reminded myself: ‘Do your part. She plays very well in the litter box, because she is the cutest baby of all. “

“I know they worked really hard to figure out what that physical baby was going to be, what and what it would be like, and … landed in the right place. So being tied to this baby is great. Just don’t.” Don’t let me get you caught up in season two, “Esposito joked.

After being warned that Moff Gideon shouldn’t harm baby Yoda, he added: “I just want to spend all my time with him, so as close as I can get, I will. And believe me, I’m good at getting close. ”

Some time ago, the MandalorianShowrunner Jon Favreau spoke about the inspiration behind Baby Yoda. “I think the good thing about what George [Lucas] Created is that Yoda, the character we grew up seeing, was always shrouded in mystery, and that’s what made him so archetypal and so mythical. We know who he is based on his behavior and what he represents, but we do not know many details about his provenance or his species. I think that’s why people are so curious about this little species of the same species. “
