Sorry a fat white guy came up with baby yoda.
Favreau is famous for being a lazy piece of shit director that is smart enough to surround himself with a ton of heavy duty talent. There is an unsung hero who came up with Baby Yoda, Favs is just getting all the glory.

Imagine the only thing going for your franchise being a obvious cash grab gimmick.

The Kevin Smith business model, wring your rabid fanboi base like a bar rag and sip the sweet nectar. More power to em.

You'll have to explain to me why JJ and the Batman v Superman dude are credited as the writers...

According to IMDB, the writers were JJ, Chris Terrios, Derek Connolly and Trevorrow
Maybe it's a mistake because I think those women are in charge for Lucasfilm nowadays

There are always a bunch of uncredited writers on a movie script, people are fired, shit get rewritten a bunch of times, origanl writers get mad about changes want their name taken off. Sometimes the movie only has one single scene or a character name left from the very first draft.
I remember Kevin Smith talking about the last Die Hard and 35 writers worked on that script including him and they only kept a single line of dialogue he wrote.
The point of the pic I think is the script was written by committee and the female execs kept sending it back over and over with notes for rewrites. 'Too much Luke and he's too awesome, movie is about Rey, nerf Luke'. 'Hes still cool, nerf him more'. Etc.

Those Reno 911 fellows wrote themselves a really solid book on script writing. The jokey cover aside it was an excellent read.
edit - he's a little hard on himself calling Battlefield Earth one of the worst movies of all time. It's not. It's not even close. It's one of the most famous bad movies and having written one of those ain't all that bad. Battlefield Earth is memorable with some positives and is still memorable two decades later.

What if they made ships with time destroying weapons. Like...they actually blow up time.
Someone call up Bob Iger for me.

Was it Wheel of Time that had the doomsday magic where if you nuked someone with it you also erased them from history? The harder you blasted them the further back they didn't exist.
A Deathstar with a history eraser beam that was going to target the Jedi homeworld so they would never exist would have been cool!

No, my idea is 100% original and I'm its original creator and I demand royalties for any use past, present and future.
Someone get me a lawyer, I got some litigating to do!
