Remember when the only Yoda we knew was ancient and crotchety? Forget those days. Baby Yoda, the breakout star of Disney Plus show The Mandalorian, remains as adorable as can be in a new trailer for the show released at Disney's D23 fan gathering on Saturday.

Yeah, yeah, Mando will surely get around that. The trailer unrolls plenty of action and awwwwww-someness as the cute toddler Grogu struts his stuff. They're a "clan of two," as the trailer explains, and there's some upside-down flying action and some synchonized airship jumping that'll surely keep them busy.

The third season of The Mandalorian will stream on Disney Plus sometime in February 2023.
