10 Most Paused TV Moments

The end of The Mandalorian's first-ever episode completely changed the game by revealing an element kept totally out of the pre-release marketing - the young, Yoda-like creature initially known as The Child (and later Grogu).

Despite limiting their own ability to take advantage of a major merchandising opportunity for Christmas 2019, Disney agreed to keep Grogu's presence secret until the first episode aired, after which the adorable character became an instant social media sensation.

That first shot, where Mando (Pedro Pascal) opens the hover-pram to discover exactly what the bounty is, and we get an up-close glimpse of Grogu's wide-eyed, inquisitive expression, is surely one of the most obsessed-over images in the last decade of TV.

That and the scene from season two where he ate that poor frog lady's eggs, of course.
