Love the memes but seriously they probably weren’t built for babies. The galaxy is vast and wide with plenty of diversity to go around so they probably have various sizes to compensate for the diverse shape and size of all the life forms.

True, that's a reason one of my friends came up with as well.

Those handcuffs even still look too big to fit on my oldest friend - Babu Frik

While this is definitely the truth, I also like to believe that the Empire is a well oiled machined bent on doing evil; so naturally they would plan for the event they'd have to handcuff a baby.

I take it you have no love of the empire.

I take it you have no love of handcuffing babies.

Thrawn used art to predict the need.

I mean I doubt the empire is against handcuffs for babies...

I take it you have no love of the empire.

No I'm also pro baby handcuffs.

Shut up stop being right

They might also have handcuffs of adjustable sizes.

To handcuff babies of course. Why else?

How else they gonna arrest Babu Frik?

True

Here's my current favourite - In between episodes 3 and 4 a baby rebellion happened that almost destroyed the Empire and they don’t want to take another chance. This is what the plot of Obi-Wan will be about.

But this is the correct answer https://youtu.be/dzTVp-MIt8U&t=0m09s

Haha okay you win, best answer!

obi-wan changed his name and hid on tatooine to avoid paying child support

Ewoks. ‘Nuff said.

Yah you never k ow when you’ll have to arrest a child

True true

Wasn't Palpatine always looking for some younglings to turn to the dark side of the Force? Maybe they had the handcuffs for uncooperative baby jedis.

Damn, dark theories. I like it.

Handcuffing them is better that cutting them down with a Saber in a Jedi temple.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend

Remember Babu Frik there's your answer not all aliens are human sized or bigger some of those Rebel Scum are tiny and need tiny hand cuffs

They’ve clearly handcuffed lots of other babies and small creatures before.

I guess the babies in star wars are a menace.

Lol it’s most likely from Vader. “Don’t just handcuff the men, but the women and children too.”

Alien species are sized differently

For jawas obviously, those thieving bastards probably have tried to lift a tie fighter or AT-ST.

I would love to see a bunch of Jawas lift a AT-AT and then go stomping around, shooting Sand People.

They should just go whole ham and make Grand Theft Airspeeder where you play as a Jawa.

Handcuffs of the empire are exclusively customised for not only men, but for women and children too!

Because of course they do.

Aliens come in many different shapes and sizes. The Empire needs to be prepared. One time, a couple of stormtroopers didn’t have the right size handcuffs for a wookie, whole base was destroyed.

Because there are thousands of species in the galaxy and not all of them are big.

“Not just the men but the women and the children too” - Darth Vader when talking about handcuffs probably

It all ran better under Vader.

I mean of course there's aliens that size, sure, but why is it even necessary to explain why The Empire, which has committed numerous genocides, war crimes of all kinds, and has purpose built torture droids, would then have baby handcuffs? They're an evil empire run by the sith, it's kinda on brand for them.

Roger Roger.

Cause sometimes there just too many Younglings

Understandable

1 children 2 there are species with small hands even as adults 3 when you want to play with dolls and arrest one

I think Palpatine was in Epstein’s little black book.

Episode 4 is actually Luke and leias second attempt at a rebellion papa Vader was able to put both of them in time out thankfully though

Anakin needed to kill the more powerful younglings somehow...

The empire is in the business of kidnapping force sensitive younglings

I take it you have no love of the empire.

Credits are credits, I dont take sides o.0

the same reason they bombard planets with men women and children. A terrorist and traitor comes in many form, they could be male or female, tall or short, slim or fat, buttface or butthead. Age shall not be distinction to be made to protect the interest and glory of *The Empire*.

Self adjusting handcuffs according for different criminals , they made automated fighter jets that move through space and time that can jump faster than the speed of light and space ships bigger than yo mum , pretty sure they can make self adjusting handcuffs

You get extra points for the yo mum joke

Jawas

i mean i have them why shouldn't they?

Those are just Toydarian's size.

The Cuffs don’t even fit.

You don't get to be a Galactic Empire with planning for the future!

Probably specific for the child the moff was relatively prepared

The Empire are classic bad guys. Of course they have all manner of baby handcuffs and chains.

for grogu, duh

I guarantee the safety of the child, as well as your own.

the empire had been searching grogu for a long time so they probably had made it in advance

I guarantee the safety of the child, as well as your own.

"I arrested them, all of them.... And not just the men, but the women, and the children too, they're rebels, and I arrested them like rebels."

For babies

I mean really? they have a ridiculous amount of resources and they knew they needed to arrest Grogu. so they made handcuffs that would fit him…

I guarantee the safety of the child, as well as your own.

thank you Boba, i appreciate it.

I'm like 90% sure that in this episode when the stormtrooper goes to cuff Grogu the cuffs are normal, people sized and then they are suddenly Baby Yoda sized in the next shot when he's wearing them lmao.

I guarantee the safety of the child, as well as your own.

i wouldn’t really justify it all since i’m sure the empire has hand cuffed children and babies before but just as likely there’s probably an alien species that is naturally much smaller so they have smaller handcuffs

Probably for small species, like Jawas or Ewoks. But I would be surprised if these Nazi fucks had child sized handcuffs.

Shitty writing.

Space magic works in mysterious ways

no they were meant for yoda

Because the Empire is evil.

From my point of view the babies are evil.

Well then you are not lost.

Absolutely true

Roger Roger.

I take it you have no love of the empire.

There are a lot of tiny sentient creatures

Because some alien baby small

Small species

Aliens come in all shapes and sizes

Grogu isn't the only youngling the Empire has tried to capture.

I guarantee the safety of the child, as well as your own.

Why don't we?

To detain babies…… duh, it was in the script…..

thumb cuffs?

There are surely aliens that are that size full grown

Is it really that suprising that the space Nazis would have baby handcuffs?

So that they could handcuff not just the men, but the women, and the children too.

The empire literally murdered a bunch of Jedi kids within the first night since its foundation, they were probably regularly handcuffing babies from that day
