i dunno, did joe dante invented cute little creatures?
Joe Dante is always right but doesn't the adult yoda predate gremlins?
Honestly I don’t see the jump between Gizmo and adult Yoda, but I definitely can see it between Gizmo and Baby Yoda
the point is that baby yoda is literally just a small cute-ified adult yoda, and adult yoda pre-dates gremlins. the claims are without merit.
Now that im looking at it, how the hell does Grogu anatomically become anything close to yoda or yaddle? The eyes are way too large, as well as his ears. Also, is grogu THAT much smaller than Yoda? He almost looks the same size.
>Also, is grogu THAT much smaller than Yoda? He almost looks the same size.
He's 50 years old.
Yes, that doesn’t answer my question. Grogu was heavily inspired by Gizmo. ILM didnt attempt to make something visually in-lore, but rather the next “big thing” that basedboys will wear on t-shirts
You're an idiot. They had no idea "baby Yoda" was going to go viral.
>The media doesn’t control me!
>Advertisements don’t work on me!
>I’m special and different!
You are both pants-on-head moronic if you actually believe this. He was the most important character of the series, and you’re trying to tell me they didn’t have any idea Grogu would be popular? Like they wouldn’t screen-test that shit? I guarantee they already had contracts with Funko to make your fricking Pop figures months before the show came out.
Doubt it, Disney had to scramble to get any merch out for the show. I don't think they had any idea baby Yoda would be as popular as it was/is. For a while there all they had was preorder shit and crappy looking t-shirts and other cheap, easily produced merch.
>trying to reason with a mongoloid
There was next to no merch when Season 1 of the Mandalorian came out.
They didn't even have the fricking shirts ready anon
>they made Baby Yoda look like a baby version of Yoda completely by accident while trying to make it look like Gizmo from Gremlins
People have varying nose sizes, ear sizes, etc, why wouldn't aliens?
Also, yoda is literally 18 times older than him.
Look at a 90 year old and look at a five year old and tell me if you don't see similar differences.
ngl he be spittin fax tho
Empire Strikes Back 1980
Dark Crystal 1982
Gremlins 1984
If you want a blatant rip-off of Gremlins, watch Critters (1986).
gremlins and critters were based on the same real life "incident". (ei. backwoods moonshiners getting spooked by owls). but where as gremlins adopted the supposed look of the creatures (big flappy ears etc.) critters adapted the story more accurately with the farm family and rural town
I was told Smooth Yoda doesn't exist and can't harm me!
You were told wrong.
Sleep tight homie
BOGGED
Told wrong, you were
Lol, he's just trying to get a shekel out of the whole thing.
That seems lame especially to phrase it like that and based on just this I would never rule in his favor if I was on the jury. And that's how its decided unless they settle out of court.
He's not planning on suing, anon. He just stated his opinion.
Is season 3 close to being aired? Looks like another media attention attempt that they always start a couple of months before a new season airs.
oh shit the goy is on to us!!!
OOPS!
He was too powerful.
He BTFO'd Bugs so hard they had to erase him.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD GET OUT OF MY HEAD
Absolutely.
My genuine first reaction to baby Yoda was that he was a Gizmo ripoff. It's the eyes mostly
the fact he's always being carried around in a basket is a similarity too
This. I just thought it was a clear and obvious homage. Do the people who worked on/with Baby Yeed deny being inspired by Gizmo?
Do the people who worked on/with Gizmo deny being inspired by Yoda?
Do they?
That would be kind of hard since the person who designed him worked on Return of the Jedi.
Never saw the appeal of baby Yoda. You like an infant version of an old bald alien, wtf?
Pic related is the real deal.
yes
"jews" are thieves and liars
Yes he's right
He has a great podcast btw and seems like a very nice fellow

According to my calculations, Yoda predates Gizmo. Joe Dante assumes that Yodapeople babies couldn't possibly be cute. Which is a moronic thing to assume.
He sounds moronic. The concept of gizmo looking characters predate gizmo.
besides it's not like he personally designed gizmo he's taking credit here where he had next to no input
This. He can't even take credit for the design.
if you piss on baby yoda does it make more baby yodas
If Gizmo dribbles pee on himself does he spawn offspring?
no, not all liquids work. saltwater doesn't work either
Chlorinated pool water worked.
that's extremely diluted chlorine. in the second movie daffy is hidden in microwave marge's stew pot where she's been dumping gallons of cooking sherry and doesn't react until the sprinklers get turned on
The water thing is just as silly as the "after midnight" thing.
Take Yoda (1980) and ewoks (1983) and combine them into one creature. You get mogwai (1984).
All made in ILM, no? Maybe even the same guy did it all three
Stuart Freeborn sculpted Yoda based on Joe Johnson, Ralph McQuarrie, and Nilo Rodis-Jamero concept art. Ewok design is probably from same artists. Not sure who came up with Gizmo's look.
Rick Baker designed mogwai and gremlins. His contribution to Star Wars were the cantina alien re-shoots done well after principal photography had wrapped.
Chinchillas exist though wtf
Well, David Lynch thought they copied the chestburster from his movie Eraserhead, directors are silly like that.
--
Giger was very eager to be involved in David Lynch's production of Dune.
Through friends he asked Lynch if he was interested in his cooperation but he never heard from him after that.
Later Giger came to know that David Lynch was upset because he thought that they had copied the chestburster in Alien from his monster baby named Spike in Eraserhead and it was filmed exactly as his was.
--
The best part is that the chestburster wasn't even designed by Giger but by a Brit.
To be fair, Lynch is a hack moron anyways and should not be taken seriously
haha you got Lynched™ by funny donut man
Even disregarding looks, his little movements and non verbal communication are pretty much the same. Also both have latent sexual powers
tbf when i saw yeed i thought of gizmo.
Elements are obviously copied but that's the thing about art. If you do something good, that works, unless you hide it away from the world, people are going to emulate it. Imitation is the highest form of flattery and all that.
As an artist afraid to share my art, that is part of the reason but at the same time maybe I should be elated it started a trend. Double edged sword.
Miss those lil homies
>still calls it 'baby Yoda'
>called 'baby Yoda' because it looks like a baby version of Yoda
>Yoda predates Gizmo
pottery
baby yeet you dumbfrick
>Not calling the marketing tool by it’s full name: Gronglix Muh-Dikkho
Ok anon
Six lovely breasts
>John Favreau wanted a baby Yoda so he tasks team of artists to design him
>alright dudes, let's draw some Yodas, but instead of old Yoda, this new baby yoda is a baby!
>no! hear me out guys! let's just copy GIZMO the mogwai, but we'll make him hairless and green and not give him Gizmo's ewok-style hands and feet, but instead we give him 3 clawed digits! oh, and instead of being naked, how about some sandy-colored clothes?
>so more like Yoda then, but a baby?"
>yeah!
Joe Dante is moronic.
>>so more like Yoda then, but a baby?"
what about anti-racist baby?
>Ibrahami X Kenobi
>Fivel Liebowitz
It's pretty clear that neither Yoda nor Grogu hate wypipo.
Grogu is a chud
Dumb. Gizmo stole Fred Flintstone's mouth.
>dude, let's combine wookiees with tribbles!
Worst porno ever.
the teeth on those things always creeped me out.
Ah yes because a baby version of a character that existed before your movie that nobody remembers is a “shameless ripoff”
The pushing of this character-void as 'the new hot toy' was so far beyond embarrassing.
What is it? Like most people I didn't watch the show.
A little robot that is besties with Princess Leia.
a little robot that transforms into a mini dildo that e-girl leai uses to jerk off, i don't condone it, but that's what's on the show bro.
They're little, they're uglycute. They have big ears. Somebody call the cops! ...on Joe Dante for ripping off master Yoda.
>dead series that made just teddy bear design mascot
>oh baww you cannot make your own mascot
first of all make another gremlins movie if you wanna be relevant fricko
Why is he talking about a popular show character and creating a controv.... oh
When will we get to see a flashback to when Yaddle was pregant with baby Yoda?
He probably said it in an interview while laughing. Journos get the rope.
He's got a point but I wouldn't call it stolen. Yoda existed before Gizmo.
>what is convergent evolution
What a fricking moron
It's weird people are being weird about it given every descriptor of Baby Yoda by the second episode was that its was a Gizmo-version of Yoda.
That said, Joe Dante is only sort of right, more wrong because of his specific phrasing. It's obvious it takes massive inspiration from Gizmo in terms of how it acts, but in terms of appearance and such, it's very much a member of Yoda's species with general baby-fied features.
>every descriptor of Baby Yoda by the second episode was that its was a Gizmo-version of Yoda.
List them.
What about condensation? Will high humidity cause grenmlinozation? I’m starting to think these rules might be kinda silly.
Who cares, baby Yeed is better.
The only reason baby Yoda was a puppet (and actually worked) was because Werner called Favreau a coward if he went with his original plans to make him CGI.
Soul vs Soulless. Baby Yoda is shit
>old good
>new bad
yawn
You and your boyfriend should get some sleep
Gremlins copied the tribbles from Star Trek which came out in 1967
That was an homage.
Yes. Whoever keeps forcing these annoying kid sidekicks in star wars needs to be gassed.
Oy vey, think of all the profits they generate from toy sales, bigot.
He’s right though
>b-but Yoda was first!
Yoda doesn’t look like that
