A strange thing happened over the weekend — GIFs of a certain character from Disney’s The Mandolorian disappeared from Giphy, and so far we don’t know exactly what happened. It’s such an oddly specific thing that many suspected copyright shenanigans, but even that is apparently not the case.

While only three episodes have been released at the time of this writing, The Mandolorian is so far a decent show — but probably not for the reasons anyone suspected it would be. Sure, it’s got the space western aspects promised by the trailer, and it also expands the lore by exploring the period immediately after the fall of the Empire. And while the Mando himself is a great character, a deeply conflicted individual veiled in stoic indifference, he’s not the aspect of the show that’s captured everyone’s hearts. That would be an as-yet-unnamed character known only as Baby Yoda (because it’s a baby of the same species as Yoda).
