    Yeah I’m still not really feeling this, something about it just has not clicked for me
    and am I wrong or was the pitch for this not partially “no Jedi, no Force, no lightsabers” cause I really deflated once its become clear that Baby Yoda is important cause he rules at force stuff

    I feel like this keeps happening. I bet there are a few people pushing that this sort of thing needs to be a part of every Star Wars product.

    I think there's a world of difference between 'look a jedi' and 'magic toddler'. Enough for me, at least

    I watched the first episode of the Mandalorian last night

    I really liked it up until the last few minutes

    I'm not sure I like everything being connected to the Force, as they are hinting at with the baby of Yoda's species and their space car seat thing floating

    I need to watch the second episode, but I hope this isn't a trend

    I assume the space car-seat floats because of repulsor lifts, same as any speeder or other hovering machinery in that universe.
    Constantly using the force like that seems like it would tire out the baby.

    it's for sure a tech thing, there's evidence of that in episode 2

    my non-spoiler review of Mandalorian ep 2 is that it's great and the theme song rules

    Episode 1
    So does this turn into lone wolf and cub? Does baby Yoda have force powers?

    I'm ok with the first thing, I'm not really interested in the second

    Mandalorian:

    my favorite part about
    the alien baby having force powers
    is that that didn't cause nerds to have a fit like they did with rey
    because its a BOY alien baby
    so its fine

    actually its pretty lame that the baby has force powers because apparently that race is just super good with the force, and yoda is just an average guy I guess

    Yoda is arguably more powerful than the norm gor his species. The only reason Palpatine jobs him is his age

    A baby Yoda is super powerful with the force. Yoda’s skill no longer seems as impressive.

    Being able to use the force a little bit without being trained was already canon anyway. If nothing else there's that kid at the end of ep 8.
    Baby is obviously picking up more than a broom, but also it then slept for like a day after that.

    And also Yoda is a master of the force because he's wise and good. The ability to pick up rocks wasn't what made Yoda a jedi master.

    Mando Ep2:
    We also still don't know if this is maybe a clone, a hyper aged clone, or even just a genetically enhanced child.

    Also, we don't know what "baby" means when it's a fifty year old "baby". It has fifty years of experience, potentially, of learning how to pick up shit and heal wounds.

    It doesn't seem like thats the case though?
    The baby barely held the monster for like 30 seconds and went into a coma for 3 days. Yoda could lift an X-wing like it was a pillow and be fine

    Yeah, it seems like most force users we've seen were able to wield the force to some extent before they were trained.
    Luke was using it to bullseye womprats and fly through beggars canyon back home (and later to make a near impossible shot without targeting). Then later summoning his saber to his hand while hanging upside down on Hoth, with only a couple days worth of tutelage under Kenobi.
    I'm pretty sure it was implied that Anakins preternatural tech ability was force augmented as well as his piloting and reaction speed, though that may have just be EU stuff.

    It's easy to imagine that every Jedi was using the force instinctively to some extent before training. Otherwise how would they have been noticed by the Jedi? Seems unlikely that the Jedi would have had a huge army of volunteers to test every child in the galaxy for potential force sensitivity.

    That was the one thing that Resistance had going for it. None of the main characters were force sensitive or knew anything about the Force beyond it's use in wishing someone good luck.
    Then on Sunday they wound up in a Sith temple buried underneath a Jedi temple, because of course they did.

    Also in the rebels era finding and killing those types of sensitives seems like what the inquisitors are there for.

    Can't have Darth Vader running around the galaxy murdering every teenager who happens to have unusually good aim.
