Star Wars: The Last Jedi‘s Porgs Make Their Animated Debut

There are some Star Wars creations that are so obviously adorable you almost want to resist loving them. We love the story about how J.J. Abrams first conceived of BB-8 as a soccer ball shaped droid with a drawing on a napkin, and sure enough, BB-8 became a near instant star once The Force Awakens premiered. This is why we were impressed with Rogue One’s resident droid, Alan Tudyk’s K-2SO,
