Originally posted by Total WarriorI hope you are right. Baby Yoda will be 76 at the time of Rise of Skywalker and hopefully he goes through a growth spurt in the next 25 years which is possible because Yoda was training Jedi at 100 already.
Baby Yoda is the future of the New Jedi Order alongside Rey and whoever will join it after ep. IX
I also don't think it's a coincidence this season will overlap with Episode 9's release date. Hoping for big things from Baby Yoda in the future.

Oh no no no.
Of course he's interested in directing... Rian is desperately seeking any sort of redemption/validation he can get after the trainwreck that is TLJ.
But even IF he were to direct an episode, it doesn't bother me, tbh. As long as Favreau is still writing the script, and Rian is *only* directing, I don't really care.
That's a bit different, though.
Rian actually wrote the story/script for TLJ(with Kennedy's blessing), and then directed it. Flip side, The Mandalorian is Favreau's baby -- HE is writing the entire story, and is a producer for each episode.
So even if Rian were to direct an episode, at least he wouldn't be creating the content... He'd still be following Favreau's overall vision. That would be the saving grace, imo.
There are only 2 outcomes I see for the baby.
Either dead by the series end. Season 3,4 whatever.
Or is hidden away somewhere untraceable.
Because if any force-users are around the vicinity of other people that can detect force users, then baby Yoda cannot stay hidden for long from Luke or Snoke, Kylo, Palp, or whomever else. And who knows what the range of them being able to sense Force users is.
Originally posted by juggernaut74Yeah, the only other planet that has been named so far is Arvala-7, where Kuiil lives(and where baby Yoda was being held)... And I only know that because it's listed on his SW.com bio:
I figured that much but this show isn't very good at giving the names of the planets aside from Sorgan in episode 4. Is Hutt space still a thing during this time?

Palpatine kept his force ability hidden for years though and he was surrounded by them at times, lots of them, Vader could only sense 'something' when both Kenobi and Luke were aboard the Death Star, Kylo didn't seem to have much of a clue about Rey (although might need a rewatch of TFA to confirm), Maul needed a tracking device to locate Padme's ship on Tatooine IIRC and Yoda, Ahsoka, Maul and one or two others I'll bet managed to remain hidden canonically for years. Just saying I'm not sure the 'Detect Force User' power is as infallible as it might seem (if it even exists at all).
No, you're right. The difference is that most force users who are capable of hiding in plain sight like that have been proper Jedi/Sith, who have learned to mask their presence through years of training... Baby Yoda obviously doesn't have that training(not yet, at least.)
However, newer canon material, like the Force Collector novel, makes it clear that there are force-sensitive beings(who can use the force to varying degrees) sprinkled all over the galaxy, and they aren't being actively tracked down by anyone. So yeah... /shrug
It's just inconsistency, tbh.
TFA implied that there hadn't been an "awakening" in the force for a LONG time -- almost like 'new' force-sensitives were borderline non-existent by that point. So when one finally surfaced(ie. Rey), they immediately took notice.
But fast-forward to current canon, like the Force Collector novel I mentioned above(which is set shortly before TFA), and we know that is definitely not the case. There are still force-users popping up all over the galaxy(which honestly makes sense... I mean, why would that just stop?)
The novel's protagonist is one of those, for example. He used the force a number of times throughout the story.

I thought that, but it doesn't really explain ANH Luke and Rey getting by largely unnoticed, also, if it's an ability that has to be activated or concentrated on in some way, it doesn't really explain why Maul needed drones and such to find them on Tatooine when Qui-Gonn and Obi-Wan had no idea that the Sith still existed, much less that one was stalking them. (I know I'm over-geeking here.)
I'd like to read some of the new canon stuff, but honestly Disney are failing at the big things, I don't hold out much hope of them delivering with the small things.
