‘The Mandalorian’ Director Robert Rodriguez And Baby Yoda Come Together For Holiday Jam Session

For fans of The Mandalorian, Christmas came early as director and The Book of Boba Fett executive producer Robert Rodriguez joined the Child (a.k.a. Grogu)for a holiday jam session.

Rodriguez, who also directed Alita: Battle Angel and Netflix’s We Can Be Heroes, tweeted a video on Christmas Eve that served as an early holiday present to fans asking what it’s like to be on set with the beloved creature at the center of Jon Favreau’s Star Wars spin-off. Strumming the chords of his guitar, Rodriguez joined the child for a short performance.
