And yet, it took a computer to create the most hellish, disconcerting creatures in the history of the franchise, as a member of the popular Internet message board Reddit used an Artificial Intelligence art program called Open AI Dall-E to speculate on what The Mandalorian’s Grogu, colloquially known as “Baby Yoda,” would look like as an adult wearing the armor of the Mandalorian bounty hunting race:
