In a move reminiscent of the very first scramble for “Star Wars” toys more than four decades ago, Walt Disney Co. is asking fans to preorder Baby Yoda dolls that won’t be delivered until February.

Baby Yoda, or the Child, as Disney calls him, is the breakout star of “The Mandalorian,” the new “Star Wars” TV series that debuted last month on the company’s Disney+ streaming service.
