The Mandalorian
Disney CEO Bob Iger debunk a possibility we did n’t even know was a theory - Baby Yoda ’s real name is George Lucas . The mystery surroundingThe Mandalorian ’s Baby Yoda - officially have a go at it as The Child , and do n’t call it anything else in the presence ofJon Favreau- has only grow with each episode . As ofThe Mandalorianseason 1 closing curtain , Baby Yoda is safely back with Din Djaren following a awful encounter with the series scoundrel , Moff Gideon . What exactly comes next is unknown , but as Djaren is now tasked with return the Child to its house , The Mandalorianseason 2might reveal a lot more about the Child , its mintage , and possibly even its real name .
Ever since its debut inThe Mandalorian ’s time of year 1 premiere , Baby Yoda has taken the world by storm . The character has star in countless meme , mockery , and more . Baby Yoda even show up in a SNL skit . In the last weeks of 2019 , some are trying to steal Baby Yoda ’s roaring ( look at you , Baby Sonic ) , but given the unbelievable receipt toThe Mandalorianand the excitement already building for season 2 , Baby Yoda ’s place as a cultural icon is certainly secure for now .

So what ’s the deal with Baby Yoda ’s real name being George Lucas ? It ’s unclear if any such theory actually exists , but in an interview onThe Star Wars Show , Bob Iger was agitate to make some sorting ofStar warfare - relatedannouncement , to which he answer : " The baby ’s name is not George . " And unless Iger is using aStar Warsinterview to make reveals about some other baby , it stands to ground he ’s mention toBaby Yodaand some presumption that the graphic symbol ’s real name is George , presumably in reference to Lucas .
Iger ’s answer is a unearthly one , to be sure , and it ’s most likely the result of him attempt to come up up with something funny to say on the spot . But then again , peradventure some the great unwashed have come to Iger with the hypothesis that Baby Yoda ’s name is George in honor of theStar Warscreator ? It really is n’t the most ridiculous idea . Just recently , a scholar who was slain while stopping a triggerman at UNC - Charlotte , Riley Howell , was honored by having a Jedi characternamed for him in theStar warfare : The Rise of Skywalker : The Visual Dictionary . This was distinctly a very special instance and a wonderful protection paid to a brave homo who also bechance to be a massiveStar Warsfan , but it means that Baby Yoda ’s substantial name in some way evoking George Lucas is n’t entirely outside the kingdom possibility , either .
Still , it ’s extremely unlikely that Baby Yoda ’s name is some Riffian on George Lucas ( no matter how hilarious that ’d be ) . After all , the only other known members ofBaby Yoda ’s specieshave very dewy-eyed names - Yoda and Yaddle . And this is also bear Baby Yoda even has a name . The Mandalorianonly ever refer to it as The Child or The Asset , and if it turns out thatBaby Yoda is , in fact , a cloneas some theories indicate , then there ’d be no ground for him to have a name . It may be that Djaren will come to give him a name , or that The Child will name itself once it reaches a certain maturity . At this point it ’s all very up in the air , but to us , they ’ll always be Baby Yoda .
