I feel like the Baby Yoda fad is something we'll look back on years later and wonder "why'd we go so crazy for that muppet?"

Kind of like BB-8 in 2015 and porgs in 2017, both of which people seem to be over with by now. Baby Yoda however will probably sustain his appeal a bit longer than them thanks to us getting a 2nd season of Mandalorian in a year or less and everyone going nuts again over whatever new adborable things he does in the next season.

No doubt, but it's still part of entertainment culture and history now. Starwars has always had a ridiculously obsessive collectibles economy.

A lot of people went nuts over the porgs during that short time period and there was quite a bit of porg related merchandise released because of it, including a bunch of non-toy items.

Droids, in general, didn't play a very prominent role in ROS. The new little droid had one scene and C3P0 had one scene, and that was it that I can remember - but I only saw it once.

C-3PO had more than one scene and actually had a surprising amount of attention given to him in this final film with the whole subplot of him losing his memory and regaining it later on in a touching scene with R2. He also had some great amusing lines of dialogue too. R2-D2 was the one who sadly got neglected thru the entire sequel trilogy.

R2D2 didn't do much coz he was a kung-fu kicking, flying, unstoppable force of fury in the prequels. He just laid low coz he had nothing left to prove.

Why does Sideshow always include a size comparison shot using an apple, as if apples have a uniform size?

Maybe it's the same fake apple so it's always the same size? Haha
