The Child/Baby Yoda Wannabe is so cute. I have spoken.

Change my mind.

Also, are they using a mix of CGI and animatronics? When The Child walks, it looks like it was animatronics while when he's travelling, his ears and hair are CGI-like.

The child is so damn cute that I'm not sure I even care about the plot.

I'm gonna keep watching as long as baby Yoda is still in.

Bryce Dallas Howard said in an interview (at least with her episode) it's mostly animatronics/puppetry. And they went with CG when absolutely needed. She would ask the puppet people how far Baby Yoda can go what his limitations were.

And then Jon Favreau also said the same thing about wanting it to mostly be puppetry, and he said if they went CG, the CG version had to obey the same grounded physical rules of the puppet, otherwise it would look glaringly 'fake' when the CG version was doing actions the puppet one could never do.
