I don’t know what I expected from “The Mandalorian,” but it sure wasn’t falling in obsessive puppy love with a tiny mint green creature whose favorite pastime is snacking on space frogs. And yet th…

!), and yet it renders me completely useless as a critical viewer of television. In a single blink of its giant bug eyes, Baby Yoda has me reaching for my TV screen as if I could scoop him out and rock him to sleep myself.

The only consolation I’ve got for this truly deranged behavior is that, if the overwhelming love across the many galaxies of the internet is any indication, I’m far from alone. On the one hand, that’s not altogether surprising; cultish devotion isn’t exactly new to anyone even glancingly familiar with the ever-sprawling “” fanbase.

The time-honored tradition of shrinking something familiar to inspire fresh cooing isn’t exactly new, especially not to The Wonderful World of Disney. But in Baby Yoda’s case, it’s relevant that it is a physical puppet with visible peach fuzz atop his little wrinkled head rather than the product of some uncanny valley CGI, a plague with which “Star Wars” fans have become all too familiar.

And yes, it’s easy enough to look at a picture and understand that Baby Yoda is objectively adorable, as the ongoing gush of memes from people who have never seen a minute of “The Mandalorian” confirms. But in watching the show, it’s also clearerBaby Yoda has become such a ubiquitous source of joy. After all, if it weren’t, “The Mandalorian” itself would fall apart.

So, sure, Baby Yoda is an inherently manipulative product of the most powerful media conglomerate on this or any other planet. It is also undeniably, desperately cute for very real reasons, the most crucial of which is that uncontrollable protective twinge you feel the second it flicks across your screen. That it also makes it a perfect meme no matter what the occasion is just a glorious bonus.
