The Mandalorian's Baby Yoda is now a tank for the U.S. Army. Since the launch of the Star Wars TV show, The Mandalorian, back in November 2019, The Child (or Baby Yoda), has become a sensation. Baby Yoda is Funko Pop’s all-time top pre-order figure, he has joined former Disney CEO Bob Iger on a painting from TIME, and by becoming a meme sensation, has seemingly joined forces with other popular films, such as The Avengers. Now, even the U.S. army has found a way to incorporate the internet’s favorite character into their activities as well.
In a tweet put out by the U.S. Army, which opens with the words “#MayTheForceBeWithYou!”, an image of tanks, side by side can be seen, and one of the tank’s names is visible, and it is called “Baby Yoda.” Along with the image and Star Wars quote, the tweet explains that: “3rd Infantry M1 Abrams armored track vehicles are aligned and ready for inventory after loading operations concluded on the American Roll-On Roll-Off vessel, for #DefenderEurope 20 in Savannah, Ga."
The love affair for Baby Yoda has gone so far that a tank for the U.S. is now named after The Mandalorian character. The character really has no limits to where it can end up. However, with season 2 of the TV show coming this October, and Moff Gideon having scenes with Baby Yoda this time, fans of the character could be in store for some tough times. But if the show continues to excel, it could make Baby Yoda even more popular.
