If your reaction to seeing Baby Yoda for the first time was, “I can’t take it!” you’re not alone. There's a scientific reason why you're obsessed.

If your reaction to seeing Baby Yoda in Disney+’s new series, “The Mandalorian” for the first time was, “I can’t take it!” you’re not alone.

— SamirZero December 4, 2019 “The reason everyone is losing it over Baby Yoda is because he has every single feature we would prototypically consider cute,” Katherine Stavropoulos, PhD, an assistant professor at the University of California at Riverside’s Graduate School of Education, tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “When we think about why something is cute, the scientific answer is there is this idea of baby schema,” a set of physical features that are typically perceived as cute.

“Baby Yoda is an exact example of this: really big eyes, small noses, chubby cheeks,” says Stavropoulos. “These are prototypical infantile features that make it look young, like a baby. Those are the ones we react to the most strongly and are drawn to. Baby Yoda has all of them, so it’s not surprising that people have collectively lost their minds. The eyes are especially huge, which I think is a huge driving factor.
