I noticed last night, if you go to the Continue Watching section, at least, it picked the next episode automatically and juts started playing it rather than taking me to the show page (for us it was episode 3 of the Jeff Goldblum show).

Ah, I'm not sure if I got the Continue Watching update yet...for now, I have to start the ep I want to watch, then go back and hit 'resume' on the main page.

FYI - Shop Disney has a bunch of Mandelorian merchandise up now. Some of it is cool, though most of the "Baby Yoda" stuff looks rushed, like stuff you would see on Cafe Press or something where they just took one image and then put it on a bunch of different things:

I think it all is rushed. I heard unlike the other Mandalorian stuff that the Baby Yoda stuff was not sent out to designers and vendors before the show started because they wanted to make sure nothing leaked out about Baby Yoda's existence.

Not surprising, but annoying. Apple randomly switched from presenting their new shows from DV to regular HDR without explanation, and as the article points out, we went through all of this when HD and BluRays.

Some official merch is arriving as well, though it looks like they just slapped that one image on everything!

I am headed to WDW next week, my 2 eight year old grand kids (1 boy and 1 girl) asked for only one thing-they both want a Baby Yoda. Ya think Disney is on to another real hot item!

I'm shocked they don't at least have a stuffed toy.

I'm tellin' ya, take the "handcrafted" Yoda from Toydarian Toy Factory in Batuu and put it in a white "cradle" and you have baby Yoda! I just took another look at the one I bought my granddaughter and it could definitely be the same character.

I already bought a Baby Yoda sweatshirt on etsy, lol.

I wonder what the official tags will say? They can't call it "Baby Yoda" because it's not Yoda, but we don't know what Yoda's species is called.

The official name at the moment is "The Child".

If it’s actually Yoda’s kid they will have to rewrite The Empire Strikes Back. When Luke shows up on Dagobah, Yoda will be coming out of his hut, “Ah, busy I am. Couple of minutes I need. Tie on door did you not notice?”

Of course, if the child is 50 this would put its birth way back in the Republic days.

Anyone know what happened to Togo? Was supposed to come December 13 2019. Now it’s not showing up.

 

[DGsAtBLT]

Always shocks me how they aren't better prepared .... as if people wouldn't want "baby yoda" merch? How are they not ready day one with this stuff?

Elsa dresses, anyone?

Was it my imagination or was The Mandalorian's shifter knob a Death Star?

Your imagination.

When we were at WDW 11/11 to 11/18 (just for a frame of reference), Disney+ had released and besides some kiosks or tents in Disney Springs, you saw lots of signage, but that was all that told us that Disney+ was live. I half-expected "I was there" pins or something similar. In most the shops the Mandalorian merchandise took up a corner and the new movie merchandise dominated the other walls, two corners and the free standing shelves in the middle. The last corner was reserved for merchandise from the last two movies.

The Mandalorian merchandise during that week (2 episodes, mind you) consisted primarily of t-shirts, a helmet coffee mug, a Mando bobble head, and The Mandalorian's ship in the hot Wheels line of Star Wars vehicles. I got one of these for my son.

Clearly the new movie dominated your buying dollar and rightfully so. There's a chunk of change in the production of it. Yet now, with the Mandalorian so huge on Disney+, I wonder looking back if they were either stifling merchandise to prevent spoilers or simply did not consider how large a show it would grow to in a mere 3 episodes now. In retrospect, "The Child," was revealed in Episode 2, and I was on property not knowing this yet for my last 3 full days there, and there was no Baby Yoda in stores.

Is there now?

On that Monday night back at home I was able to binge the first two episodes and got completely hooked. My son said, "Baby Yoda?" I looked at him and was like, Whaaa? Meanwhile my wife from the other room fired back, "I already knew... it's all over Facebook." (I don't have an account.)

Oh and I agree with other Posters, I do know people at work who are putting off Disney+ until Christmas.

That’s not baby yoda. That plush they have had in the toydarian shop since day one.
