The latest Last Jedi trailer was simply mind-blowing. It amazed us all with fabulous visuals, tugged at our heartstrings by showing the sequence of General Leia’s (Carrie Fisher) and also kept us guessing whether Rey will take the unimaginable step towards the dark side. However, the most fascinating part of the trailer which kept fandom buzzing was a visual of a porg shouting from the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon.
People were either amazed or incensed at this new entry into the Star Wars canon. However, most of the porg fans simply went crazy about them. The porg might have been the best thing revealed by the trailer, and there is the expectation that porgs might, in fact, be the best thing about The Last Jedi.
Therefore assuming porgs make The Last Jedi more awesome, then it is beyond doubt that the introduction of porgs would have greatly benefitted the earlier Star Wars films. Thus, in the true George Lucas spirit, we have decided to go back and insert porgs into the original Star Wars trilogy, and this will be now called Star Wars: The Porg Special Edition.
Oh yeah, you heard it right! Porgs are the new Ewoks, and they are the “cute” new part of the Star Wars universe. We replaced Wicket W. Warrick with a porg, and it instantly made Return of the Jedi better.
Had there been a porg in The Empire Strikes Back, then Luke Skywalker won’t have been able to slice off his arm.
The Empire Strikes Back had that famous Han Solo dialogue “this is no cave”, but, if the Millennium Falcon was in a porg’s belly instead of being a space slug? Just imagine!
In fact, the hoods of jawas are so dark that in reality, we feel that all of those in A New Hope were porgs and none else.
Jaba the Porg! Wow!
The 2004 special edition of Empire by Lucas had a different hologram for Emperor Palpatine. Let’s once again redo it so that it is now Emperor Porgatine.
Dengar from The Empire Strikes Back, was one of our favorite bounty hunters. He would have been even better as a porg. Check it out!
Another stunner would have been a porg R2-D2 who would then converse with C-3PO by screaming instead of bleeps and bloops. What a massive improvement!
In fact, Darth Vader would have been really stunning under the helmet as the porg version in Return of the Jedi!
This is simply awesome!
Star Wars: The Last Jedi will release on December 15.
