Disney Has Struck Gold with "Baby Yoda"

The main action of Disney's marquee show, The Mandalorian, is entertaining enough on its own, but one cute little character everyone is calling "Baby Yoda" (officially named the Child) has made Disney+ a huge success out of the gate.

The combination of good storytelling and an adorable character like Baby Yoda has made The Mandalorian the hottest streaming TV show available right now.
