Even the most feared man in the galaxy and Jakku scavenger can’t deny the cuteness of Baby Yoda.

Perhaps the funniest part of all came when Rey Skywalker was battling it out with Darth Vader and stopped midway to marvel at Baby Yoda.
The Force is strong: The trailer for the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special was released on Thursday as it brought together the various timelines in the universe of the sci-fi series producing some hilarious results
Star of the show: Fans will be pleased that Baby Yoda makes an appearance
The two were up in the air swinging their Lightsabers when the adorable character could be seen on the ground gazing at them.
Vader says ‘aww’ followed by Rey saying ‘so cute’ and jump back into fighting before falling into a portal.
It all comes back around at the end of the clip as they fall on Tatooine in front of Luke Skywalker with several other characters.
Intense: Rey Skywalker could be seen battling it out with Darth Vader
Aww: The two were up in the air swinging their Lightsabers when the adorable character could be seen on the ground gazing at them
Dynamic duo: Baby Yoda was joined by Boba Fett
Oh no: Vader says ‘aww’ followed by Rey saying ‘so cute’ and jump back into fighting before falling into a portal
Both are astonished as Rey says: ‘Master Skywalker?’
Then Darth – who is the father of Luke – makes light of the two suns on the planet as he hilariously responds: ‘My son…I mean these binary suns.’
No doubt Star Wars fans of all ages will enjoy the film as even the two-minute clip was chock full of zany scenes mixed in with references from each of the films including things that more die-hard fans would be familiar with.
Shocked: It all comes back around at the end of the clip as they fall on Tatooine in front of Luke Skywalker with several other characters
Quick reflex: Both are astonished as Rey says: ‘Master Skywalker?’ then Darth – who is the father of Luke – as he hilariously responds: ‘My son…I mean these binary suns’
Wow: The joke made light of the two suns on the planet
One such instance in the trailer came when both the young and older Han Solo characters were shown coming face-to-face with the character Greedo.
The older Han asks ‘Do you wanna shoot first?’ then the younger one says ‘after you’ before they both shoot at the Rodian bounty hunter.
This references the original Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope film in which Han shoots Greedo dead but was later edited by George Lucas to show Greedo firing first to give Solo more justification for acting in self-defense.
Double trouble? Toward the end of the clip, both the young and older Han Solo characters were shown
Uh oh: Rodian bounty hunter Greedo was shown going face-to-face with them
I understood that reference: The older Han asks ‘Do you wanna shoot first?’ then the younger one says ‘after you’ before they both shoot at him
The official description of the special reads: ‘At a mysterious Jedi Temple, she is hurled into a cross-timeline adventure through beloved moments in Star Wars cinematic history, coming into contact with Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, Yoda, Obi-Wan and other iconic heroes and villains from all nine Skywalker saga films.
‘But will she make it back in time for the Life Day feast and learn the true meaning of holiday spirit?’
Big deal: The special will include voices from franchise stars including Kelly Marie Tran (Rose Tico)
Legend: Anthony Daniels also returns as signature character C-3PO
‘Do you think you could maybe put a shirt on’: Kylo Ren’s abs were shown referencing Adam Driver’s shirtless scene in Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Not a baby anymore: The older hologram version of Yoda was also shown
The special will include voices from franchise stars including Billy Dee Williams (Lando Calrissian), Kelly Marie Tran (Rose Tico), and Anthony Daniels (C-3PO).
