And “I, Tonya,” from Craig Gillespie, who gave us a whole new, and wholly darker, understanding of a legendary fall from grace, with a masterful Margot Robbie as Tonya Harding. Staking out bleaker territory is another debut, Jordan Peele’s “Get Out,” a horror-comedy (but more the former) with its finger squarely on the pulse of racial tensions. Likewise, Greta Gerwig’s solo directing debut, the achingly funny coming-of-age dramedy, “Lady Bird.” This sun-dappled, erotic portrait of young love during a Northern Italian summer, adapted from the novel, is the rarest of cinematic gems. Luca Guadagnino’s “Call Me By Your Name” won my heart when I saw it at Sundance, and never ceded its place atop my list. Here you’ll find directors who gave us a unique and striking vision, whether working with their own material or giving new life to stories we thought we knew. (Note to Hollywood: maybe stop throwing money at brainless reboots and sequels like “Baywatch” and “Transformers: The Last Knight.”) My picks represent the polar opposite of budget-busting studio flicks that feel made-by-committee. Ironically, they coincided with one of the worst box office summers on record.

It was my favorite in recent memory and featured a slew of terrific releases long before fall’s awards-season glut. We really wanted to have it be that you had to watch it yourself, so that every time you watch the show, there are new twists and secrets that come out. “I have to thank Disney and Lucasfilm, because the way the cat usually gets out of the bag with that stuff is merchandising and toy catalogs and things like that,” Favreau told Entertainment Tonight. “The Child” was absent from the marketing and initial merchandise launch for “The Mandalorian” because show runners Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni reportedly didn’t want to spoil the creature’s unexpected appearance.įavreau wanted the character to be a surprise, so Disney agreed to wait to produce merchandise of “The Child” until after the first episode was released. Īfter the immediate success of the “Baby Yoda” character, Disney began pushing out other merchandise, such as T-shirts and mugs to satiate fans’ obsession with the tiny green alien character, which has even extended into the “memeification” of “Baby Yoda” across social media. “The Mandalorian,” set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order, follows “the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy, far from the authority of the New Republic,” according to the show’s description on the Disney+ website.Ī new plush toy and two bobble-head figures of Baby Yoda are also now available for pre-order, but all three toys are not expected to ship out to customers until next year.

WE WANT BABY YODA EMOJI!!!” the petition said. “Join me into this movement and let your voices be heard.
“You’re sick and your mom texts you ‘do you want some soup?’ Respond back with a cute little Baby Yoda to show her that your thirst for soup is insatiable.” “Your friend shares a pic of her newborn baby? Respond with a cute little Baby Yoda emoji to show that you think her little rascal is cute beyond words,” Bramble continued. A petition for Apple to make Baby Yoda an emoji has garnered more than 12,000 signatures as of Wednesday.
