Porgs look like someone hit them in the face with a frying pan. Society's obsession with smushed-in snouts makes absolutely no sense to me. What, are they called porgs because they're pugs? Ugh. My brother's psycho ex was obsessed with pugs. He delayed dumping her because her pug (who lived with her parents on a different continent) died and she spent two weeks crying and posting apology Facebook statuses over the fact that she "couldn't be there for him" when he (again, the pug) was "the only one who understands" her pain.

I'm sorry Clint had to go through that. I see why you threw him that pity role in the Han Solo movie now.

The more I see Porg(s), the more I feel like they're what happens if BB-8 undergoes a Pinocchio-style transformation.

Their episode of predictions for what nuggets will be shoehorned into the Han Solo movie is the only reason I want to see the Han Solo movie.

I bought a Porg yesterday because I was in Target and I am a grown lady and nobody can tell me no if I want to buy a Porg. It's cute as shit and I love it and I'm gonna buy like a dozen more.

What would be an amazing prank is if the movie came out and there weren't any porgs in it.

The Porg army, accompanied by Pander and Lockjaw (I may have a problem, though I'm just go with it if so):

Whenever Porgs are not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "where are Porgs??"

NOW IS THE TIME WHERE WE REJOICE That seems like good news but I'm holding off rejoicing until we hear about the replacement. I half expect them to just slide Ron Howard over from Han Solo. Or they could get Brett Ratner. From the Last Jedi previous, they already paired up their black and asian actors so it seems like a good fit. Finn definitely wouldn't want anyone touch his space radio.

What about the black and Asian actors? Is there a Brett Ratner connection to that?
I wonder if Lucasfilm will stop hiring 'new' directors after this. I haven't been too worried about Episode IX, but it seems as though proven veterans have worked out better so far (Lord and Miller notwithstanding).

Ugh, and they just hired JJ Abrams again for Episode IX.
I sincerely hope Episode VIII is different enough that JJ will be forced to write and film something completely different than "Return of the Jedi"

I sincerely hope Episode VIII is different enough that JJ will be forced to write and film something completely different than "Return of the Jedi" Maybe he'll decide to rip off Wrath of Khan again, only this time in the wrong franchise? Like Khan shows up in a spaceship, and he's played by someone who does an even shittier job than Benedict Cumberbatch and he's all like "Hi, I'm Khan, and I've been traveling faster than the speed of light for a while now so now I'm in the past", and then at the end there's a scene that's just Abrams sitting in front of the camera and repeating over and over for thirty minutes that Star Wars and Star Trek are canonically in the same fictional universe now.

I'm thinking Return of the Jedi scene/thing touchstones...
-Rescue from lair of gangster: could happen -People fall into pit monster: could happen -Wise old teacher dies: Luke? -Ship uses stolen codes to sneak past security check: could happen -Speeder bike chase: could happen -Ewoks: Porgs already the new Ewoks? -Throne room showdown between evil master, lost soul and hero: could definitely happen -Lost soul sacrifices self, kills evil master to save hero: *this is the danger spot, JJ - if you've learned nothing else, please say that you've learned that what you tried to do in Star Trek Into Darkness was the worst possible thing, that it neither respected the past nor mattered to the future. do not try to take this scene and remix it. do. not.* -Drunken, furry celebration: yes! bring it on, preferably with a new version of "Yub Nub"
Some things, like 'ground team disables shields' and possibly 'rise of the plush furries' will already be out of the way. There are a few notes that I'd love to see Abrams play, such as something to do with Bothans, but this time with an actual Bothan character onscreen. But no more Death Stars, please.
As long as Episode IX doesn't go all STID for its dramatic climax, there's room for Abrams to indulge his inner nostalgia without anything terrible happening. I'd much prefer a film freed from such concerns, but I'll settle for something that feels good and makes sense.
