 * 2) * This, in which, makes him one of the most powerful beings in the universe.
 * 3) He manages to bring some much needed adorable comic relief to the much more gritty and criminal world he lives in.
 * 4) He seems to enjoy hunting frogs and swallowing them alive whenever he can.
 * 5) He likes to not follow Mando's instructions whenever possible, preferring to tag along instead of staying behind.
 * 6) Despite still being a baby, he seems to have a better understanding of situations than given credit for.
 * 7) In a highly memorable scene, The Child manages to use the Force to contain an onslaught of flames before throwing them back at the incinerator stormtrooper, instantly killing him.
 * 8) When being attacked by a villain piloting a TIE fighter, Karga asks the Child to use the 'hand thingy', referring to the Force, to save them from Gideon. Not knowing what he meant, the Child simply waves his hand.
