If you, like the rest of the world, have fallen for Baby Yoda — and can't wait for new episodes of The Mandalorian to get more of him — actress Laura Dern has a deeply confusing suggestion for where you might find him.
When asked about Baby Yoda at a recent event (because she was in a Star Wars movie one time, we guess?), Dern gave the truly inexplicable answer that she spotted Baby Yoda "at a basketball game." When pressed for details, she added, "That's all I'm going to say." And while Baby Yoda probably isn't tall enough to make it to the NBA, you have to imagine using the Force could lead to a pretty wicked jump shot.
