Disney's being completely behind on the Baby Yoda craze and then completely oversaturating the market with cheap official merch of it after the fact is the perfect metaphor for their approach to Star Wars in general.

Baby Yoda is a gimmick, not an actual character. He was always going to have a certain level of fad appeal, but he only exists as a MacGuffin to move the plot along. This 90 year old "infant" coos, waddles, does situational comedy and uses the Force to obfuscate plot holes. The show itself is watchable, but they wasted half of last season chasing Star Wars nostalgia and with characters making stupid decisions instead of pushing for actual character development.

I think we are all missing the big picture regarding retail. Just my 2¢ but I'd say the demand for these products was already met before these stores received physical stock. Anyone who wanted Baby Yoda pre ordered him months ago from Amazon or other online retailers. After seeing the doll top the Amazon charts earlier this year, I'm sure many big box stores wanted to cash in as well and ordered large quantities. However, the majority of interested consumers were never going to wait till it hit store shelves due to fomo.

Theory: the only reason the masses went crazy for Baby Yoda was because of low attention spans in addition to terrible products (both end result and failure to ride the hype wave) I saw a lot of Star Wars merch growing up, but when disnry bought star Wars, the amount of crap I saw sky rocketed. I saw stuff like cheap colouring books, balloons, party hats, party favors, streamers, crayons and the like at really bad dollar stores. Thatinfluz of not just merch, but terrible merch in my eyes turned Star Wars from a cultural icon into a fad some company wanted to milk to its fullest. With that change of mindset, people started caring about Star Wars only because it was the pop geek thing to care about, and o my when a new movie was on the way. The same thing will happen with the Mandalorian, mark my words

This is ominous. I made a comment to friends a few months ago that The Mandalorian S2 could start with Mando dropping Baby Yoda off at his homeworld and leaving, and as long as the series follows him instead of the baby, it would still be good, but if they latch onto the baby and blow that out of proportion, it's going to be terrible. The merchandise saturation suggests they're going to throw everything behind the baby. Which is going to ruin the series.

Thats not what I am seeing. The Baby Yoda stuff is out like crazy and the good stuff goes quick...the new black series are impossible to find. I think its doing just fine. The stuff geared towards younger kids and parents sits a little longer but still goes.

I'll never understand how Disney wasn't prepared for the Baby Yoda hype. I get that they wanted to give him a secret, but they should have known the fans would go crazy at the reveal. Now they overcompensated and Baby Yoda is literally everywhere you look. If even Baby Yoda is on clearance, than what more proof do people need that Star Wars merchandise has fallen down hard?

The R-Series droid is a successful galaxy-wide known astromech, beloved by spacers and Governament agencies... and SW fans for decades... But let's paint the orange ball white and expect those fools to spend money on it.

3:31 That's a Loth-cat from Star Wars Rebels. Kind of the unofficial animal mascot of the show. Sad to see it went out of style so quickly after the show ended, but in hindsight, quick-cycle gimmicks seem to be par for the course with SW now.

Not worried about the baby yodas. They'll be picked up in a hurry when the episodes start again. I think they're clearing out the wave 1 merch, so they can make space for season 2 merch

They missed the peak of the sales opportunity, for valid story reasons. It lost them a lot short term, but may have saved a good proportion of the fan base long term.

The Child (as in the regular doll) actually sells. The store I work for got a box in, and it all sold the day they were put out. EDIT: 4:50 - Or not. On another note, I'm still waiting for the Darksaber to be released.

I stand by my point: the brand is now 40+ years old, and has been so watered down by fans who saw it when they were 10, and demand everything that comes out moving forward live up to the *memory* they had of it from when they were that age....so of course nothing genuinely can. Yeah, you might have a few brief hits moving forward, but I just don't see Star Wars ever being the powerhouse again the way it once was. I say at this point, just be glad it's still as mainstream as it is.

other than Baby Yoda, which I suspected would just be a passing fad, I wouldn't expect any real demand for Star Wars toys, no one has really been interested in Star Wars toys since at around the time The Last Jedi came out, Star Wars toys have been sitting on shelves since 2017.

Why isn’t Disney focusing more on the Mandalorian? HasLab is and it a huge success. I’m surprised at the limited toys for the Mandalorians. Fett is still popular. That should have taught them something by now. No need to worry about Baby Yoda. Let them love the baby, no harm there and I’m guessing more baby Yoda toys will turn up over the next year or so. I don’t think that it will affect the success of the Mandalorian and the popularity of the creed.

a brand without its fans is worth nothing. and disney made sure that every last fan of the original 6 movies HATES the new stuff at best and doesnt care anymore at worst. still they havent fired kennedy like the fans demanded. still they havent de-canonized the shitshow sequels ... they ignore any feedback and then wonder what happened to their billion dollar investment. i enjoy watching it burn by now.

They produced way too much cheap baby Yoda stuff. I doubt a stars action figure of Mando and the Child would be found in the bargain bin. Plushies and bobble heads have only a little play potential. A Razor Crest made for action figures would sell well I'm thinking.

I found a BS Clone Wars Rex and Royal Guard at 5 Below back in March. Not exactly Mary Rey, Donglover, and his daughter in terms of demand, or lack there of. Never saw those in a Target. So I don't know what that says about the state of things being sold. Over production? Terrible haphazard distribution? I find quality toys at Ross/Marshalls/DD's/TJ Maxx/Tuesday Mornings quite often, especially when the Holiday season arrives. So it's not just Star Wars. Jurassic Park, Transformers.
