Welp, now I can't unsee the tongue thing. No wonder he worked under so many grand chancellors. He was born for asslicking.

Were we talking about the sticky "Baby Yoda" name here? I remember thinking, "I know his name's not Baby Yoda, but whatever they come up with will never be as catchy as Baby Yoda." I mean look at him. He's adorable. Yoda was also cute in his centuries-old way. And we never really got a definitive species name for him, have we? We previously only knew of Yaddle as also being part of his species. And they decide to call him Grogu? So for lack of better terms, the child ward of the Mandalorian (who also initially had no name) would be called Baby Yoda, after two of the cutest things our collective experiences can associate with it. I'm never gonna not call him that.

Isn't Yoda's species known as "Yoda's Species"? Or is that a line of dialogue I am misremembering?

I don't think he's ever had a name, though Lucas himself said he's the illegitimate child of Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy.

I have a feeling that Yoda’s species kind of treats the candidate they send to the Jedi as a golden child. Bred to be pure and as close to the Force as a being can be. So they get lots of preferential treatment. There isn’t anything they could do to create a more enduring name than the fan given baby Yoda. Honestly Din DJarin isn’t the badass name I thought Mando would have. Boba Fett and Cade Bane are cool names.

Thwipp!
