Watch Baby Yoda fight Darth Sidious in this hilarious Mandalorian fan edit

News

Seeing Baby Yoda hold a lightsaber is the best possible start to the week

Baby Yoda is the star of The Mandalorian; there’s no getting away from that. He’s belatedly arrived on merchandise, starred in Twitter-breaking memes, and now he’s got his own brilliant fan edit, one that sees the mean, green Force-wielding machine take on Darth Sidious in a lightsaber duel. This really is Baby Yoda’s galaxy – and we’re just living in it.

The video (one of two from YouTuber MaxeBaumannFilms2013 – yes, it’s an ongoing series) takes the climactic lightsaber battle from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith between Yoda and Darth Sidious in the Senate and replaces the older Yoda with Baby Yoda. Then it just gets weird.

Baby Yoda arrives in his floating cradle as Sidious seethes and curses his little rival’s “arrogance.” That’s made all the better by Baby Yoda’s responses just being babble and gurgles. There’s a joke in there somewhere about the quality of the Prequel Trilogy’s dialogue, but I daren’t make it.

  • Hayden Christensen in Revenge of  the Sith Star Wars fans are debating an iconic Revenge of the Sith scene that's now one of the saga's biggest 'what if' moments

Then, the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Baby Yoda picks up a lightsaber. It might never happen in The Mandalorian, so this is as likely as we’ll get to seeing the little guy take on someone while “Duel of the Fates” blares in the background. He actually fares a little better than Yoda, too, with a last-minute plot twist seeing Mando himself come in and save the day with a well-timed blaster shot. He clearly had the higher ground.

For more from the biggest show on Disney Plus – including when to watch the next Chapter – be sure to check out The Mandalorian release schedule.

Senior Entertainment Writer

I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
