Spoilers The Mandalorian | Disney+ | Streaming Nov. 12

Probably go into hiding, or to a place he trusts. But overall probably try to find gizmos err yodas family/ planet.

If he's not a clone... The adult Yodalings are either too weak to protect the child from further predators, or they are the people who sold this baby into slavery in the first place.
 
I doubt he’s a clone. The doctor wanted him alive. They could get DNA if he were dead, they could be fine with just blood or other sample. They want to keep him for something. Maybe they want to harvest midichlorians and he thinks a living specimen will give him a constant supply, while a dead specimen would be limited. Plus if Baby Yoda were a clone, they’d likely already have some sample to work with.
 
Either the scene in question got swapped around and re-contextualised between concept and screen, or they used the wrong art for the credits because this appears to be Mandos fighting battledroids, not bounty hunters. Maybe that scene was originally part of the flashback? Or maybe it was both and them showing up in the present was meant to be a callback, but the flashback version got cut for obvious reasons?

Parents/species don't have to be weak in order for their young to be abducted.

Although it's probably going to play out that this species is rare and a massive minority in the galaxy.

Huh, that's weird.

They showed that during the credits for ep 3, weren't you guys paying attention?

I just took it to mean that the original idea was that Greef Carga would have an army of droids that he ambushed the Mandalorian with, but they decided to make it all the bounty hunters in the cantina instead. They probably figured all the bounty hunters would be perceived as a far more serious threat than a bunch of droids.

Did I say otherwise?

Maybe, but that doesn't sound quite right. I mean Favreau wrote the scripts before he even got a green light, so barring some major revisions what would and would not happen was already nailed down before the concept artists were put to work (hence why it mostly hews so close to the final product.) I can't see him writing a cool story about the world of scum and villainy only hinted at in ANH...and just have it be an army of old battledroids and no weird alien bounty hunters.

To me it seems more likely that the "Mandos the the rescue" scene was originally part of the flashback (like literally when the flashback scene smash-cuts away in the episode) and the Mando just shot his way out of town on his own (if just barely), but they later decided it'd have more emotional impact if they combined the two scenes into one.
Possibly the best evidence for this is that he never used up the last of his whistling birds, which logically he would probably have done if he was was going to get out of there himself. They're just sort of forgotten about as the episode tries to make us think he's got nothing left before the supercommandos make their entrance.

Those don't appear to be Separatist battle droids. Their heads are all wrong.

It's like a hybrid design of B1s and B2s
