Sorry, Star Wars Fans: Baby Yoda Won't Be Counted in the Census

The Mandalorian's Baby Yoda may be cute, but he's not cute enough to be counted in the U.S. Census. That's according to former Congresswoman and current Census advocate Stacey Abrams, who was asked about The Child's status on Twitter this week.

"Thank you for your question," replied Abrams, after being asked whether the little green guy would be included in the upcoming tally. "The Census is a count of the human species located in the United States," Abrams added. "We can count on Baby Yoda to be cute, but we cannot count him in the U.S. Census."

Wednesday marked the official start of the 2020 Census, with people being asked to register online. The sign-in portal officially opened on March 10 and will remain open until late May. Those who do not take part in the census can be fined up to $100 by the federal government.

Baby Yoda has become a full-fledged star since debuting on The Mandalorian last year. He's been thrust into politics, sports, television, newscasts, memes, and all other kinds of mediums. There's Baby Yoda toys, Baby Yoda board games, and even Baby Yoda face masks to combat the coronavirus (COVID-19).

The Child, as Disney describes him, will be making his return in Season 2 of The Mandalorian this October. The series is expected to explore the tiny force user's backstory and where he came from.

Created by Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian stars Pedro Pascal, Gina Carano, Carl Weathers, Giancarlo Esposito and Emily Swallow. Season 1 is streaming now on Disney+, with Season 2 slated to arrive in October.
