However, when The Child proves itself to be a rascal by messing with Mando’s ship, it doesn’t exactly make me think it’s a little wrinkled genius.
Though by all means, Season 2 might introduce some game-changing element that has Baby Yoda quoting Proust and speaking only in iambic pentameter.
It’s perhaps even more interesting that Esposito commented on Baby Yoda being born with “such brilliant intelligence,” considering Mandalorian viewers haven’t seen very many instances where such brilliance stood out.
Aside from working out how to use Force powers, Baby Yoda has been largely an observer under Mando’s care, though it’s been pretty obvious when the character is going through emotional shifts.
