Laura Dern is being haunted by the image of Baby Yoda.

Just days after the actress claimed to have seen the beloved character — made famous in the new Disney+ series, The Mandalorian — she spotted him again, this time in her coffee cup.

"I'm feeling quite understood today," Dern captioned an Instagram photo, which featured Baby Yoda's image designed into the foam of her coffee.

In case you missed it, last week Dern was convinced she saw Baby Yoda at an NBA game, telling Variety matter-of-factly, "I think he was at a basketball game. That's all I'm gonna say."

It's not known why Dern is seeing the popular Star Wars character everywhere. She did play Admiral Holdo in Star Wars: The Last Jedi in 2017, but the actress did not share any scenes with the Baby Yoda. 

Still, Dern was so adamant at what she saw that she called in the reinforcements — namely, her Little Women co-star Timothée Chalamet, with the pair attending a Boston Celtics basketball game just days ago in Massachusetts. 

"Caught a game to see if I could find him again. #BabyYoda," Dern said of a photo of herself and Chalamet sitting courtside on December 5.

As it turns out, Chalamet confirmed her suspicions.

"I mean, Timmy and I have seen [Baby Yoda] — I saw something the other night. But it just keeps going," she told Entertainment Tonight at the New York premiere of their film. "Then I saw him in my coffee today."
