Baby Yoda wears Chris Evans' iconic sweater from Knives Out in a brand new meme that's sweeping the internet. Weeks after debuting in the first episode of Disney Plus' highly-anticipated original series The Mandalorian, Baby Yoda continues to win over Star Wars fans from around the world. The show itself centers on a bounty hunter in the Star Wars universe, but The Child, later termed Baby Yoda by fans, was quick to steal the spotlight.
Since his introduction, he's become a fan-favorite of the series, even captivating individuals who don't even watch the show. Not only has he been a source for great memes and artwork, but he was even featured alongside Disney's CEO Bob Iger as TIME's Person of the Year for 2019. Because of his immense popularity, Disney was quick to double down on Baby Yoda fever. Although the first reactions to Baby Yoda merchandise were largely negative, the company has since improved its merchandising for the adorable little creature. More recently, Disney also made his character into a profile icon for Disney Plus. Although The Mandalorian is starting to wind down its first season, the Baby Yoda memes just keep on coming. This time around, it's coupled with another internet sensation.
Chris Evans' sweater from Knives Out took the internet by storm after the film first debuted this year at the Toronto International Film Festival. Even the film's twitter account doubled down on the trend, turning into a Chris Evans' sweater stan account. Now, digital artist BossLogic has brought the two worlds together in an adorable and unforgettable mashup, which he rightfully describes as the "Hottest Christmas items this year." Along with the sweater, he's also rocking some Apple Airpods, truly bringing the outfit together. Check out BossLogic's take on the cute little creature here in his brand new sweater.
The image above is actually based on a toy that's currently available to the public. Unfortunately, the sweater is not included, but the original plush toy has quickly become a popular piece of merchandise. More recently, this plush toy quickly climbed the ranks to become Amazon's number one best-selling holiday item, and a variety of other pieces of Baby Yoda merchandise are still available to purchase. Considering that Disney never marketed the little creature prior to the show's premiere on Disney Plus, Baby Yoda merchandise has been few and far between, so it's no surprise that it's going fast before the holidays.
The popularity of Baby Yoda is surely something that won't be fading anytime soon. Alongside the merchandise, it's fun to see him meshing with other popular entertainment-related memes in a variety of videos and artwork. Not only have they been hilarious to keep up with, but the memes have been a nice way to bring the Star Wars community together in a wholesome fashion. As the discourse continues to grow, Baby Yoda seems to be bringing light-hearted energy into the fanbase. Not to mention, from the wide variety of memes, it seems like the adorable little creature can fit in just about anywhere. His Knives Out attire is a whole new level of adorable. Chris Evans' sweater is truly a fashion statement that everyone can wear.
