Favreau knows Baby Yoda's real name and origin, which was never revealed in season one of "The Mandalorian," but with the director/writer/producer confirming a season two is on the way for fall 2020, we may learn more this year.
For now, we'll just have to be happy with Baby Yoda meeting the entire reason the "Star Wars" universe exists in the first place.
This is truly amazing because he looks as if he was looking at his new born child. This photo is legendary. https://t.co/FScmqu3baF
