Jon Favreau Shares Instantly Iconic ‘Star Wars’ Photo of George Lucas Cradling Baby Yoda

George Lucas Cradles Baby Yoda in Amazing Image
  • Jon Favreau shared a photo of Star Wars creator George Lucas cradling the still-unnamed Baby Yoda to his Instagram and Twitter feeds.
  • Fans and even Star Wars actors saw the image and felt their heart melt.
  • The second season of The Mandalorian is currently in production.

The first season of Disney+ 's The Mandalorian might be in the books, but the mania and lovefest for Baby Yoda is continuing on, full speed ahead. The latest figure to be seen in public admiration of Baby Yoda is none other than Star Wars creator George Lucas himself. Lucas was spotted in both a captionless Tweet and Instagram from Mandalorian showrunner Jon Favreau fully cradling Baby Yoda, looking at him with what could only be described as a loving gaze.

Before The Mandalorian debuted in November of last year, Favreau had talked about his past meetings with Lucas, and the advice he was given by the man who originally brought Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Darth Vader, and the original Yoda to the big screen.

The one thing he said to me was, 'Remember, Jon, the real audience for all stories and all myths is the kids that are coming of age,' because hes really a Joseph Campbell adherent," Favreau told GQ Middle East in an interview last year while promoting The Lion King. "We enjoy the stories as adults, but, really, storytelling is about imparting the wisdom of the previous generations on to the children who are becoming adults, and giving them a context for how to behave and how to learn the lessons of the past without making the mistakes on their own.

What's not clear to anyonedue to Favreau's lack of a captionis whether this photo of Lucas and Baby Yoda was a new photo or an old one. Is this a brainstorm for Season 2? Is this on-set of Season 2? It's not clear, but seeing the faces of Star Wars past and present looking longingly into each others' eyes is certainly one that fans of the franchise have to be happy to see.

While Baby Yoda just might be the smallest major character in the Star Wars canon, the actor who just might play the biggest, Joonas Suotamo (Chewbacca), saw Favreau's post and chimed in on both. "The Maker and The Child," he wrote.

Others speculated what Lucas could be doing if he was indeed, on set with Favreau.

On a related note, it won't be long until fans of Star Wars and The Mandalorian can start to cradle their own Baby Yoda, just like George Lucas. Disney agreed, initially, to hold off on selling Baby Yoda plush toys, action figures, and other merchandise so to keep the character's initial appearance under wraps, but all of that is now on the way . For anyone wanting to take things a step even further, Build-a-Bear workshop announced this week that they'll allow customers to make their own Baby Yoda .
