George Lucas finally met Baby Yoda and Star Wars fans couldn't get enough

Nothing brings the Star Wars fanbase together quite like two legends uniting.

Jon Favreau, executive producer of The Mandalorian, posted that photo late on Thursday night. At the time of writing, it already has well over 50,000 retweets in five hours.

As you can probably imagine, the fans couldn't get enough.

There aren't many tweets that have the power to elicit pure, simple happiness – but this is definitely one of them.
