The story behind the porgs, the new stars of “Star Wars”

Provided by Disney-Lucasfilm“The Last Jedi” introduces the porg (right), with Chewbacca. By Michael Cavna, The Washington Post Just in time for the holidays, the porgs are having their moment in the Ahch-To sun. This week’s release of the latest “Last Jedi” trailer lets us hear just what a screaming space porg sounds like — as we see the furry critter riding in the Millennium Falcon with the “walking carpet” that is Chewbacca. That briefest of teaser shots launched an armada of memes, and one of the most impressive responses mixes that porg peal. Volpe Music has re-created John Williams’s triumphal “Star Wars” theme by making it sounds as if the porgs are singing.
