In this mandalorian video essay I examine the symbolism of the immensely successful Disney+ show The Mandalorian and the star wars Baby Yoda phenomenon. In doing so, I showcase how the story of The Mandalorian maps almost perfectly onto the story of St. Christopher and give my take on how that may help us understand the show's popularity and what baby yoda that can tell us about the state of culture.
