Unfertilized or not, those were the last eggs should could produce. There will be no more eggs and unfertilized or not, that was still bordering on homicide. Their lineage and potentially species depends on those eggs and baby Yoda treated them like snacks.
It does not take overthinking it to see that. Causally ending an entire genealogy should not be for laughs, even in Star Wars. But even beyond that, baby Yoda eating an egg every other scene did get old.
Yeah, I've been really surprised and slightly confused by all of the moral furor caused by what essentially amounts to a toddler shoving things in its mouth. Unfertilized eggs are a lot less shocking than the heroes of ROTJ almost becoming dinner for a bunch of teddy bears.This is when the fan base takes the Star Wars universe a little too seriously. Especially concerning an innocent Yoda baby. He doesn’t know any better.
Ewoks also almost cooked and ate our heroes.

I do think it's still funny with a dark undertone. They're unfertilised, so it's not like him eating a sentient being. More like eating a placenta. The implications aren't really immediate as they'll only be fertilised once she delivers them to her mate.
Calling him a baby Sith Lord is kinda funny though.

I think a big reason we are seeing a lot of focus on this BabyYo/egg thing is... What else did the episode give us really?
What? How was anything moved forward in terms of plot, characters or themes?
They gambled that that puppets antics are enough.
It just isn't for me.
At best we got the tiniest of peeks into the New Republic five years post Endor and we found out Mando's mission to the New Republic prison ship last season is unlikely to come and bite him on the ass.
Okay.
Also on another note...
Mando tells the two X-Wing pilots "May the Force be with you."
Odd.
He seemed to have no idea about who the Jedi were or the Force in season one. Now he is aware that this all has cachet inside New Republic circles?
(sigh)
It don't makes sense in this series and never has or will.
How many turns of phrase do you use that you know the full origin of. The issue is, because the Jedi have been the focus of Star Wars for so long, that it over states just how big and known in the galaxy they were. They were mysterious and mythic people even during the Clone Wars. I mean, the Mandos have been gone for less of the time than the Jedi, and look at how people treat actually meeting the Mando.
The Jedi went all over the place during the Clone Wars (which a still fairly young person like Mando was alive during), dispatched on missions to all kinds of worlds, and people like Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi were famous war heroes and them being Jedi Knights was no secret.
I can buy people not necessarily knowing Luke was a Jedi, but not remembering Jedi at all? Yea, doesn’t check out.
George Lucas created this whole dilemma and confusion, when he had Han Solo not believe in the force at all in A New Hope, but then make Jedi these super famous world wide policemen in the prequels.
Obviously, the galaxy in this storyline is a big place. And the Republic didn't even operate everywhere in the prequels. Certain planets were out of their reach and didn't follow Republic rules.
Like how Amidala was shocked that slavery existed on Tattooine despite the Republic's anti-slavery laws, and Shmi said the Republic doesn't exist out here. And how Watto didn't want Republic credits.
While I don't like the prequels, I did think those lines were a good way to establish big picture world building.
World building dialogue is underrated IMO.
