re are several reasons as to why creators of Mandalorian thought about using a CGI Baby Yoda inste of a practical puppet. Using a CGI stand it would have given creative team a lot more freedom with way baby could have moved and interacted with scene. However, just like all or CGI, a computer-generated Baby Yoda would lack texture and realistic look that puppet has. 

In a recent interview, creator Jon Favreau and executive producer Dave Filoni revealed that y did t think that a puppet would reach level of believability that a CGI model would. Because of this, y decided to shoot every scene with Baby Yoda twice, once with puppet and once without it, where y would d a CGI model. However, y were immediately told t to do so by Werner Herzog, who plays role of mysterious Imperial Client in show.

Werner, who was a fan of Baby Yoda puppet, apparently called two cowards for thinking about CGI and told m to leave scenes as y are. So fans of Mandalorian can thank Werner Herzog for fact that y got to see orable Baby Yoda puppet in show. Fans will never kw how a CGI Baby Yoda would have looked in show.

Perhaps he would have remained as popular as he is w, or maybe he would have t looked as cute and would fe into obscurity. Can you imagine a world without Baby Yoda puppet? Without it, world would probably never become enamoured with character and we would t have Boby Yoda memes that we do today.
