Baby Yoda Greets Commuters At East Village Subway Station

From CBS New York:

EAST VILLAGE, NY – Baby Yoda is greeting commuters heading through an East Village subway station.

The Star Wars favorite has appeared in a mural by artist Will Power who painted it at the Second Avenue F train subway stop near Second Avenue and Houston Street.

“Baby Yoda” is a new character in the Disney+ series “The Mandalorian.” While the show’s writers have not confirmed the alien infant is Yoda – in subtitles and credits, he's simply referred to as “The Child” – he appears to be a being of the same species as the old Jedi teacher and fans adopted the moniker shortly after the show’s debut.

Power said he chose to paint “Baby Yoda” because he’s a fan of Star Wars and wanted to create something to make the neighborhood kids happy.

For anyone looking to grab a selfie in front of the mural, it will only be up until Feb. 1.
