The second episode of “The Mandalorian” might have had one of the show’s darkest moments yet — Baby Yoda gulping down eggs of the Frog Lady alien creature, who had joined the crew of a mission.
- But a new theory suggests Baby Yoda might not have been trying to harm the eggs.
What’s going on?
The second episode of “The Mandalorian” season 2 sees Mando (Pedro Pascal) and the Child (Baby Yoda) helping a Frog Lady safely pass to a nearby planet.
- The frog lady has a container full of eggs, which are her offspring that she needs to keep safe during the ride.
- At one point, the Child literally eats the eggs. It’s a dark moment that people have seemed to forget about.
The theory
SlashFilm’s Peter Sciretta recently shared a theory about the Child and the eggs, specifically saying the Child may have been doing more to help than hurt.
- “I know some of you are disturbed by Baby Yoda eating Frog Lady’s eggs. In our live chat someone posed a fun theory: her tank & eggs will be destroyed and the Child will regurgitate the eggs David Blaine-style as it turned out he wasn’t really eating them but protecting them.”
What we know
Baby Yoda showed at the end of season 1 that it can control the Force, which has the ability to heal. The Child heals Mando at the end of season 1 in much of the same way that Rey and Kylo Ren healed each other in “The Rise of Skywalker.” So, with that in mind, there’s a chance the Child would be using the Force to keep the babies safe.
