'Baby Yoda' mystery: Giphy sorry for pulling gifs of Star Wars character

Almost as soon as ‘Baby Yoda’ debuted on the new Disney Plus series The Mandalorian, a thousand internet memes bloomed in its wake.

 

Meme and image-hosting site Giphy has apologised to Disney after pulling – and then reinstating – all gifs of The Mandalorian character nicknamed Baby Yoda from the internet this week.

 

The character from the new Disney+ flagship streaming series and Star Wars spin-off has been evoking the increasingly fervent love of the internet since the show’s US premiere on 12 November.

 

Baby Yoda is not in fact Yoda, the ancient Jedi master that guided Luke Skywalker to the Force in the original Star Wars films, but The Child, an entirely different character, albeit from the same race of bug-eyed, bat-eared beings.

 

Fans have been swamping social media with memes and gifs featuring the character, and the hype quickly became mainstream.
