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 
It is not baby yoda though? It's just another of their species right?
Correct
I'm going to
David Filoni if Grogu ends up being something stupid like a clone or reincarnation of Yoda or Yaddle.
Yoda and Yaddle's misplaced child, thrust ahead in the timeline when they misplaced Grogu in the World Between Worlds during some jedi archeology expedition to the ruins of Lothal's old jedi temple.
The Mortis family shows up in the live action Filoniverse and recognizes Grogu.
