Been dreaming of raising your own little Porg family since Star Wars: The Last Jedi?

You can soon live like Luke Skywalker on the island of Ahch-To, surrounded by fluffy little Porgs, thanks to a new mixed reality project from Lucasfilm’s immersive entertainment division.

ILMxLAB’s Project Porg was first announced in October at Magic Leap’s L.E.A.P Conference, but on Tuesday, the team dropped a first peek at what the project will look like.

To be released for free download on Magic Leap One headsets, Project Porg lets you raise your own Tamagotchi-like version of the Star Wars character — and their family. Read more…

I remember the first time I saw a porg, I thought, “I have a bad feeling about this.” 
Porgs, a small aquatic alien species native to the planet Ahch-To, debuted earlier this year in a behind-the-scenes video for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. They h…

We all agree that Laura Dern is a national treasure that should be protected at all costs. 

But what happens when the legendary actress in our universe meets a legendary (and incredibly cute) creature from the Star Wars universe — the spherical, rolling droid BB-8?

Well, watch it yourself. It might be the purest, most adorable thing you’ll see today.

Dern — kneeling, with a soft-spoken voice — scratches BB-8’s belly as it emits sounds of approval and satisfaction.  

“Do you like that? How cute! You’re so cute! You’re the best,” Dern says in the sweetest way possible.  Read more…

‘The Last Jedi’ box office will fall well below ‘The Force Awakens,’ and that’s OK

Breeeeeathe.
The Last Jedi isn’t going to set off the same spectacular, world record-shattering box office fireworks that we saw with The Force Awakens. It will fall well short.

As with all babies, we knew they were coming — but it’s still a shock when they arrived. 

Porgs, those beloved `puffin-like creatures in The Last Jedi, will also be seen on screen in a baby version — and as of Wednesday we have our first look at them, above, thanks to a Japanese toy website. 

“There’s a brief little moment in The Last Jedi where there’s a porg and then there’s a little baby porg next to the porg,” Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy told Lucasfilm’s in-house Star Wars Show last week. “It doesn’t get better than that.” Read more…
