The first couple of episodes of Star Wars TV series The Mandalorian are now available to stream on Disney+. And incredibly The Rise of Skywalker may foreshadow the fate of the Space Western’s Baby Yoda (The Child). During the second episode, the little green infant attempts to heal The Mandalorian’s injured arm using his Force powers.

However, Mando managed to put The Child back into his bassinet before the healing could actually take place.

When The Mandalorian first aired in the US last November, fans were wondering if Force users could now heal according to canon.

Then a month later we saw the cinematic release of Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.

And it was here that Baby Yoda’s Force healing abilities foreshadowed that of Rey’s.

It’s certainly possible, but we hope not because Baby Yoda is way too cute to die.

Meanwhile, there is much mystery surrounding the parentage of The Child.

After all, the only other members of his unnamed species who we have ever seen in Star Wars is Yoda, who died before The Mandalorian’s setting in Return of the Jedi, and a character from The Phantom Menace.

The latter was a female called Yaddle who was a member of the Jedi council.

She briefly met the young Anakin Skywalker who was accompanied by Qui-Gon Jinn.

But considering she was not mentioned in any other films apart from passing references in a canonical video game and comic book, it’s possible that Yaddle is still alive.

If anything the female could have conceived The Child by Yoda.

The Mandalorian is streaming on Disney+ now.
