Star Wars fans have been not-so-patiently waiting for the return and second season of the space western -- featuring a lone bounty hunter and his journey to return, guide and protect his young ward to its home -- since the debut of Baby Yoda last year. In the words of Werner Herzog, we would like to see the baby.
