The Mandalorian‘s third season wasn’t the only thing that dropped this week: Google on Thursday introduced an Easter egg for fans of the Disney+ series’ most adorable character.
Type “The Mandalorian,” “Mandalorian,” “Baby Yoda,” or “Grogu” into the search engine and you’ll be met with an animated version of The Child—a Force-sensitive toddler member of the same species as Yoda.
Click on Grogu and watch him use his metaphysical power to tear search results off the screen and drop them to the bottom. (He, rather disappointingly, doesn’t try to eat any of them.) After razing another portion of the page, he waits patiently—blinking his enormous eyes and shuddering his even bigger ears—for another task.
Keep tapping on the little green guy, and eventually you’ll clear the page and the graphic will disappear, returning Google’s search results to their rightful places, so you can actually find what you were looking for in the first place. (Unless you were in it solely for a Baby Yoda Easter egg, in which case, mission accomplished.)
It’s not a perfect system; some broken-off pieces defy gravity, stacking precariously on top of others; and the animation can be a little clunky. But it’s a fun distraction that gives users a glimpse into what it’s like for the Force to be with you.
