In case you missed it, Jon Favreau (creator of The Mandalorian on Disney+) shared the greatest photo in recent Star Wars history last night — George Lucas holding Baby Yoda:
Favreau didn't give any context around the photo in his captions on Twitter or Instagram, but it's pretty clear that the photo was taken when Lucas visited the set of The Mandalorian.
I love that this is also like the most "dad" photo (being all blurry and stuff).
And, of course, the response from fans has been everything from pure joy...
@Jon_Favreau This really feels like I’m witnessing something blessed, repaint the Sistine chapel with this image pls
This is truly amazing because he looks as if he was looking at his new born child. This photo is legendary. https://t.co/FScmqu3baF

...to Star Wars-related jokes...

@Jon_Favreau Tag yourself. I’m the smiling through tears bystander.
Get you a person who looks at you the way the person in the background wearing a jacket looks at George Lucas looking at Baby Yoda. https://t.co/dGMiKBTryA

BABY YODA FOREVER.
