Similar to the schoolyard arguments over which superhero is the strongest, or debating whether or not your dad could beat up your friend’s dad, the Star Wars fanbase has long been locked in discussion about who can definitively be named as the most powerful Jedi that ever lived, and there’s no shortage of candidates from the franchise’s extensive lore.
There’s the obvious father/son duo of Anakin and Luke Skywalker, while the expanded universe has also thrown the likes of Revan, Nomi Sunrider and Jacen Solo into the mix alongside established stalwarts Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda. However, The Mandalorian‘s latest episode may have hinted that Din Djarin’s adorable little sidekick could have the potential to surpass them all.
“The Siege” finally revealed why the remnants of the Empire have been so desperate to get their hands on The Child, and unfortunately for certain sections of the fanbase who still haven’t recovered from the Prequel Trilogy, it all has to do with Midichlorians. Baby Yoda was described as having the highest ‘M-Count’ that’s ever been seen, making him an incredibly valuable commodity.
Now that the show has confirmed there are still Palpatine loyalists out there, as well as a few Jedi hiding in the outer reaches of the galaxy, the desire to recover Baby Yoda in particular when there’s still plenty of folks out there with Midichlorians in their system could be a hint that the adorable critter is one of the most powerful characters in the Star Wars mythos.
The Mandalorian has only shown hints of Baby Yoda’s powers so far, but if he’s anything like the wizened old member of his species from the movies then he’ll definitely be a force to reckon with as he gets older.
