Baby Yoda is not only cuter than a Porg, but also a formidable, Force sensitive creature that's sent speculation into overdrive about what it could mean for the Star Wars Universe moving forward.

Now, The Mandalorian executive producer Jon Favreau has taken to Instagram to give fans the chance to be thankful for the beloved alien and, as you can see in the behind the scenes video below, we get to see how the creature was brought to life on set thanks to some amazing practical effects.

As we told you last night, legendary actor Werner Herzog called Favreau and Dave Filoni "cowards" for daring to consider replacing the Baby Yoda puppet with a CG version.

Unfortunately, proper Baby Yoda merchandise (by that, we mean more than concept art plastered on t-shirts and phone cases) isn't expected to reach stores until early next year, but it's fair to say that it's going to fly off shelves.

Check out the video below and stay tuned for more on the show.

The Mandalorian is just a repetitive cycle of "That was so [frick]ing cool!" and "Aww, look at Baby Yoda. Awww"

Prediction: Boba Fett is reintroduced as the bounty hunter hired by the empire to track down the Mandalorian and recover the child. Boba will eventually recapture the target and the Mandalorian will bring the fight to Fett and get the little guy back.

Glad some of you are enjoying him. Kind of wrecking the show for me. More interested in getting my ps2 working and playing bounty hunter at this point.
