I'd tell you that as a die-hard Star Wars guy, I'm probably not even going to see that movie since I'm dead set against the entire loving premise.

I was making a playful riff on how for so many people, Harrison Ford's portrayal of Han Solo has been the defining impression they have of the entire milieu.

(We all know that it's 110% PORG now.)

Harrison Ford's, you mean? Well, I have to say I don't have a lot to compare it to, and it did seem to make a whole lot of people permanently aroused, so there has to have been something there.

It did lack a certain je ne sais porg.

No you don't understand, there's no porgs in the Han Solo movie, they are safe from that hack Howard.

The whole porg thing just feels really fuckin' forced. Even in the STAR WARS context. People are just way too willing to latch onto any drat thing.

It's not a moon, it's a space station. I'm assuming one porg is gonna get a name, too, if we can rely on the ROTJ Ewok precedent.

Ewok is an anagram of WOKE, making them still relevant thirty years later. I doubt porgs will have that longevity

Porg is an anagram of "prog". Who knows if Pink Floyd would love them?

It's also an anagram of "grop", a "morsel of cannabis suitable for gifting, borrowing, or stealing".

It is a also an anagram of GOP/R, reflecting the inevitable thousand years of conservative darkness BUT

CONSIDER

That the porg is also CGI, and will thus be Rejected as Lacking Goodness, save by children, who don't know any better.

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
Remember when people flipped their poo poo at BB-8 in the first teaser because they thought it was CGI? And then JJ came out and basically told them they were wrong and to shut the gently caress up?

Not just told them:

It eventually came out that film BB was indeed mostly CG/puppet on a track but this is still a fun clip just for the fans audibly losing their poo poo
