The character of Baby Yoda aka Grogu is a perfect encapsulation of DiSSney's and hollywood's attitude towards art
(hexbear.net)
Grogu is from the Mystery-Yoda-Species so he'll be a literal child for the first 50 or 100 years or whatever of his life
Disney wants to keep their popular IPs alive and profitable as long as possible, far beyond their reasonable lifespan, so that type of character is irresistible to them. The audience isn't forced to confront any uncomfortable ideas from that character's growth and maturity. HEY look at the CUTE BABY wheeeeeee! He'll NEVER AGE, like a CARTOON CHARACTER!! That kind of immutability is what porky wants more than anything else
Anyways feel free to shit on star wars as much as you need below 
but pls watch Andor 
The two slop mega franchises I enjoy, Star Wars and Gundam, are both expensive toy commercials that have stuck around since the late 70s.
With Gundam, at least the original creator fucking hated the toys and only complied to pay the bills (and also tried to intentionally financially destroy the franchise lmao).
The biggest way capitalism has me owned is with gunpla honestly, I can't help it, I love having polystyrene and ABS swimming around in my cerebrospinal fluid.
