That Time Laura Dern Saw Baby Yoda At A Basketball Game
It all began with an innocent interview at the Gotham Awards when a Variety reporter asked actress Laura Dern if she had seen Baby Yoda, seemingly meaning had she seen either The Mandalorian or witnessed the birth of the only thing currently uniting us all on Twitter. Instead, the answer Dern provided shocked the entire internet when she claimed she "thinks she saw Baby Yoda at a basketball game."

Of course the questions began to pore in.
I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS:1. Who's Baby Yoda's favorite basketball team?2. How did he get tickets?3. Were they courtside? Because he's so small he probably can't see from anywhere else?4. Is Baby Yoda best friends with Laura Dern?5. What's Laura Dern's midichlorian count??? https://t.co/ttz8YNFMVd

Regardless of how wild her claim is, she is Laura Dern and we should definitely believe her.

Even if say he committed a crime, and that's why she couldn't delve further into her personal experience of seeing him.
Laura Dern’s “That’s all I’m gonna say” in reference to Baby Yoda being at a basketball game makes it sound like Baby Yoda is about to be brought up on charges

With only a few weeks left, some argued this was the wildest thing to happen in 2019.
Laura Dern saying she saw Baby Yoda at a basketball game…"and that's all I'll say on the matter" is genuinely the wildest thing of 2019. Just truly awe inspiring and dumbfounding. I love it

Of course several thought maybe she was confusing the CGI muppet with a rapper.
National Treasure Laura Dern not knowing what Baby Yoda is & assumedly thinking it is the name of a rapper(?) she saw at an NBA game is the highlight of the damn decade, we can just end it now it’s not gonna get any better than this

And even though a rapper with that name doesn't exist, some were inspired to launch a career.
time for me to launch my career as a soundtrack rapper named baby yoda in the name of laura dern

Of course the memes were in full effect.

Because it's perhaps one of the funniest things to happen in awhile.
I cannot pay attention to anything going on in class because I keep laughing thinking about how Laura Dern said she saw Baby Yoda at a fucking basketball game.

And will carry on until at least next October, when we find ourselves in search of a Halloween costume.
this tweet is going to age in a strange way but it must be said:couples costume concept: Baby Yoda and Laura Dern

Of course, there is a possibility that Dern wasn't actually lying.

Especially since she too, lives in the Star Wars universe.

With that being said, we're happy this dialogue began.

And can all agree with this point.
if laura dern doesn’t know who baby yoda is then it’s ok if billie eilish doesn’t know who van halen is

Baby Yoda has yet to accept a role in Big Little Lies Season 3, but we are certainly looking forward to it.
