It’s a question millions of people are asking.
Our baby, our little green bean, is he ok rn? Like what is that scary Moff Gideon doing to him and is he getting any cookies or frogs to eat?
Look, the world is in a VERY scary place now.
Grief and loss are everywhere. I didn’t expect to be obsessively focused on the welfare of a five-million dollar puppet while my fillings fall out from grinding my teeth, but here we are.
Baby Yoda, more properly known as “The Child” or (SPOILER)…
…Grogu, is a character on the Disney+ Star Wars TV show “The Mandalorian”. Devised by an algorithm, the world’s best focus group, top ILM talent or possibly dolphins, he is the cutest thing anyone has ever seen. He is deeply compelling, and good guy Pedro Pascal is his superb, lowkey, and entirely masked foil.
Baby Yoda likes…(SPOILER)
…cookies. Macarons. Space macarons. Blue space macarons. Like you would find at a fancy French bakery. As it happens, I’ve been collecting miniature items for a fancy bakery for decades!
Watching this TV show has absolutely captivated me, and the creature – the Child – has utterly stolen my heart. I am completely invested in him, much like anyone who has ever watched the show. I immediately bought the Baby Yoda action figure, which is soooooo small!
I have a dollhouse – well, two dollhouses and a bunch of miniature rooms – that are a sanctuary for story characters.
My action figure dollhouses are designed to be repositories for the narratives that have been essential comfort to me, safe havens for characters I love.
We’re nearly at the end of Season Two of The Mandalorian, aka the Baby Yoda Show.
Historically, the second act of Star Wars stories is where things take a bad turn.
I think we’re all caught up on why I have thrown myself into making a miniature bakery where Mando and Baby can eat cookies, perhaps too many, and grilled squid together safely forever.
As you see above, Baby is heavily guarded by powerful space people, sorcerors and warriors while I build out the bakery kit and await delivery of the Target Exclusive Mandalorian with Removable Helmet, Child and Pram Accessory. There were less than a dozen in all of Germany!
Gorgeous photo of the set, below, and review from The Fwoosh!
Let’s be very clear: Baby Yoda is safe. In my house, Baby Yoda will always be safe.
I may have to make the blue macarons myself as I don’t know if there is time for any to be mailed to me by the dozens of miniaturists on etsy who make them. But if I can make a Rabbit, I can manage a few macarons. Yes, I haven’t finished the Danger Room yet, but it has to wait!
I am working on this project like a fiend, so Baby and Mando can be home for Christmas!
