Fan disclaimer: We know he’s not really Yoda.

It was one of the best-kept — and cutest — secrets to come out of that galaxy far, far away since 1980, when we all learned what really happened to Luke Skywalker’s father.

But now the Baby Yoda fever is real.

Really real.

People can’t seem to get enough of the pint-sized force wielder, and many are finding the lack of official merchandise disturbing — creating a de facto black market for Baby Yoda products across the internet.

Baby Yoda, or “the Child,” as he is officially known, has become the breakout Star of Disney+'s flagship series, The Mandalorian. Set five years after the events of the third (or sixth, depending on how you count them) Star Wars film, Return of the Jedi, the Mandalorian introduces us to “the Child” at the end of the very first episode.

In the weeks since the show premiered, it’s become one of the most-streamed TV shows, thanks largely to the well-kept surprise of our green little guy.

That surprise, however, came at the expense of readily available Baby Yoda merchandise, which fans of the show have been clamoring for.

“The way the cat usually gets out of the bag with that stuff is merchandising and toy catalogs,” series creator Jon Favreau told Entertainment Tonight.

Favreau said keeping the secret was like being a parent on Christmas: "hiding, and while all the kids are sleeping, wrapping all the presents.”

But his Christmas surprise has led to a lack of, well, Christmas surprises around the world.

In order to protect the secret, Disney and partner companies like Hasbro and Funko held off the announcement of any toys or dolls related to Baby Yoda until well after the show aired. Many of those products have since been announced, including dolls and action figures complete with soup-slurping accessories, but those won’t be available until 2020, many as far out as May.

Sure, you can pre-order the products through Target or Amazon (not unlike the infamous Early Bird Certificate Package from 1977, when the original Star Wars film couldn’t meet the Christmas demand for toys), but in the age of free two-day shipping and hyper-connectivity, people have a thirst for Baby Yoda, and the internet is quenching it.

On the website, Etsy, which allows users to sell handmade and vintage goods, a search for “Baby Yoda” will get you almost 7,000 results. While the Disney Store might have a few shirts and mugs with a photo of Baby Yoda, swinging by Etsy can get you Baby Yoda Wire earrings or socks, a phone case depicting the iconic bicycle-over-the-moon scene from E.T. with Mando and Baby Yoda replacing E.T. and Elliott, and endless crocheted Baby Yodas.

There are even a few action figures and dolls of varying degrees of quality. Many are made using 3-D-printed models, while others are shaped by hand. There are also a host of shirts, hats and even a "Baby Yoda 2020″ bumper sticker for those dissatisfied with current political options.

On Mercari, a similar site, you’ll get about 1,000 results ranging from pins and keychains to paintings and more attempts at getting a Baby Yoda doll out before anyone else.

Though many of the products have one-to-two-week lead times, some say they’re ready to ship in a few days, meaning you can still have some Baby Yoda under the tree and not just a note promising one in the future.
