Star Wars Fans Think They've Spotted a New Baby Yoda in The High Republic

Fans of the ever popular Star Wars franchise think they might have discovered a new Baby Yoda in concept art for the new Star Wars: The High Republic project. The image spotted by fans can be found at about 2:31 during the announcement trailer. In a photo of artist Ian McKay, a board of sketches can be seen behind him, containing some drawings that look rather Yoda-like. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2020/02/25/star-wars-the-high-republic-reveal-trailer"] The final two images on the top row look like they could be a new Baby Yoda. Alternatively, these could be just young versions of the Master Yoda fans know and love. But, given the timeline of The High Republic, Yoda would be about 700 years old. With the furthest image looking a little too young, perhaps this means we'll get to meet another younger member of Yoda's species? This is, of course, just concept art. Even if the image is what fans are thinking, it doesn't mean we'll see anything like that in any of the stories. After the way the internet exploded with Baby Yoda in The Mandalorian, if there is a new young cute Yoda, everyone will probably hear about it soon enough.

Hopefully this will fill the Death Star-sized hole in fans' lives until we see a new Star Wars film in 2022. [poilib element="accentDivider"]Hope Corrigan is an Australian freelance writer for IGN.
