George Lucas met Baby Yoda and social media users exploded with joy.
The “Star Wars” creator held the little green dude from “The Mandalorian” spinoff in a blurry picture that the Disney Plus series’ showrunner Jon Favreau shared online late Thursday:

Favreau didn’t caption the cute image that immediately went viral.
But Twitter users were more than happy to chime in on the encounter between the originator of the space opera franchise and its newest adorable creature:

"No."
"George we need it for shooting."
"No it's mine now."
"George please we need to film."
"Make another one this one is mine."
"George come back please!"
Such an epic moment to have been captured by a game boy camera

The pic is blurry so I assume George Lucas was trying to steal Baby Yoda and they snapped this mid run... pic.twitter.com/91TXvJo9zn
