The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau shared a picture of Star Wars creator George Lucas on the set of the show in January.

The actor said to Vanity Fair that she actually got to be there on the day the photo was clicked. She mentioned that someone took a picture of George Lucas holding Baby Yoda.

She noted that it was just an “amazing, amazing” moment, and they were all beside their selves. It was definitely very geek out, she asserted.
