When Matt Grasso created his Baby Yoda-themed Twitter account @BabyYodaBaby  in November 2019, he thought the platform would be a vehicle to celebrate a cute character that was becoming a pop culture sensation, and, perhaps, a chance to showcase his comedy writing. 

Within weeks, @BabyYodaBaby had become a viral symbol of positivity and levity in an increasingly cynical corner of the Internet.
