So, some time ago, and I'm not current with the Star Wars flow right now, but they released images of Porgs -- undeniably cute aliens that live on the island with Luke.
So, are these furry friends good or bad?
Q: Why are they here?
Optimist Answer: Porgs are here because they are cute, furry, and will be vital and important to the Star Wars universe.
Pessimist Answer: they are there for marketing reasons only. They are there to attract little kids. They will be the next Jar-Jar Binks.
Q: That is funny, Mr. Pessimist. That actually brings us to our next question, will they be the next Jar-Jar?
Optimist: No. NOOOOOOO! NEVER AGAIN!
Pessimist: Yes. Definitely. Only there for the kids.
Q: What is their role in the Last Jedi marketing?
Optimist: Everything. These things are so cute, they will be what the Ewoks were to Return of the Jedi. They are going to be everywhere. They are so undeniably cute that there will be several posters, toys, and other merch. But only as long as they don't speak. The speaking would ruin it.
Pessimist: Ditto to that.
