Reportedly, Baby Yoda’s arrival was kept under wraps from everyone so as to prevent any early merchandise and toy catalogues of the character before or immediately after its release. This mysterious tiny tyke was discovered by everyone only with the first episode of the series. It was a deliberate move by the creator Jon Favreau to shield the plotline surrounding Baby Yoga from getting leaked or spoiled.
