One year ago today, Disney+ was kind enough to premier The Mandalorian on my 50th birthday. 50 years (and two days) before that, Sesame Street premiered. A lot of GenX-ers like me have a special love for puppets because were were raised on Star Wars, Mr. Rogers, The Muppets and Sesame Street. There is something so personal but also so public and communal about our attachment and response to those puppets and masked characters.
