Ah, the Porgs. Who knew these little creatures would end up as one of the most talked-about parts of The Last Jedi?
The scene with Chewie, the campfire, and a couple of roast Porgs is unforgettable—but maybe not for the reasons Chewie had in mind.
Here’s the big question: did the Porgs actually sit there watching as Chewie prepared a meal made from their own Porg friends, only to give him those sad, guilt-tripping eyes right as he was about to take a bite?
So… Were the Porgs Watching the Whole Time?
As a Wookiee, he’s no stranger to hunting, and two unfortunate porgs end up over the fire, beautifully roasted.
But just as he’s ready to dig in, a group of living porgs looks on, wide-eyed and heartbroken.
They seem to stare directly at him, as if saying, “Really, Chewie? You’re just going to eat one of us?” Chewbacca, feeling the weight of their gaze, hesitates.
And let’s be real—it’s hard to say no to those adorable, guilt-inducing faces.
Here’s where it gets funny.
Did the Porgs witness the whole process and only decide to react at the very end?
Maybe they didn’t mind the hunting or even the plucking; maybe they were simply waiting to see if Chewie would share!
Imagine if they were watching the whole time, heads tilted, thinking, “Alright, he’s cooking, that’s fine… but when does he pass us a piece?”
Only when he’s about to dig in do they realize he’s not sharing—that meal is just for him.
Or maybe, just maybe, porgs are just a little slow on the uptake.
Maybe they didn’t even realize what had happened to their friends until they saw Chewie holding a roast Porg leg, ready to chow down.
The smell of roasted Porgs probably hit them right at that moment, and suddenly, it all made sense. Cue the wide eyes and sad faces.
And of course, there’s always the possibility that they were hoping for a taste themselves.
Who knows, maybe roast Porg smells delicious even to a Porg! Those sad, pleading eyes could have been their way of saying, “We’re not mad; we just want in on the meal too.”
After all, if you can’t beat them, join them, right?
