Baby Yoda Desktop Light Is Adorably Bright
The Mandalorian returns this week, so there’s no better time to show your appreciation for the popular Star Wars series. And what better way to celebrate your love for the show that basically made Disney+ than to bring Baby Yoda into your home or office? I figure this light-up version of The Child should do quite nicely.
While it doesn’t come with a floating bassinet, this officially-licensed Baby Yoda Desktop Light is simply perfect all on his own. He’ll look great sitting on your desk or bookshelf, and will bring a bit of the Light Side into your life on days when you’re feeling like giving in to the Dark Side of the Force. Rather than running on Midichlorians (yeah, I said it), this cute, but powerful being runs on a couple of AAA batteries, so you don’t need to worry about plugging him in.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t have any limbs so he can’t do the Magic Hand thing. You can pick up your own Baby Yoda light over at Firebox for just $27.

LEGO The Child Brings Us a Brick-built Baby Yoda
There’s not much that’s cuter than Baby Yoda. LEGO clearly agrees and has just announced a new official LEGO set based on The Child from The Mandalorian. LEGO set number 75318 is as adorable as you’d expect and will make a great addition to any Star Wars fan’s bookshelf or desktop.
The 1073-piece set measures 7.8″ tall once complete, making it a little less than half the height of The Child as it appears on screen in the Disney+ series. In order to give Baby Yoda as much expressiveness as possible, the model features a poseable head, ears that move, and an adjustable mouth. It also comes with the knob that Baby Yoda was fooling around with aboard Mando’s ship, the Razor Crest. It also comes with a display easel with pertinent stats and a minifig of The Child.
The $79.99 set is designed for kids age 10 and up, which is good news for anyone who was thinking of ordering one of these for their own child’s Christmas present this year. LEGO will ship The Child set starting on October 30, 2020, but you can pre-order yours today (9/21/2020) starting at 1pm PST / 4pm EST over on LEGO.com.

This Stand Turns Your Amazon Echo Dot into Baby Yoda
It’s hard not to love Baby Yoda aka The Child from The Mandalorian. How can you not be gaga about this adorable and precocious little dude that also possesses the power of the Force? Just one look at those big eyes staring up at you, and your heart will melt.
If you love all things Baby Yoda, and happen to also have an Amazon Echo Dot, you’re in luck, because now you can turn your voice assistant into The Child.
This officially-licensed stand from OtterBox adds those endearing big green ears to your 3rd-generation Echo Dot, transforming the puck-shaped Alexa-enabled device into the cutest bounty in the galaxy far, far away. The stand is made out of sturdy plastic and has a non-slip base with cutouts to ensure optimal sound.
The Child Echo Dot stand is just $24.95 over on Amazon – though you’ll need to pick up an Echo Dot if you don’t already have one. I’m just not sure how I feel about Baby Yoda speaking in Alexa’s voice instead of making cute baby noises.
