Because of this , fans have gotten to seeHasbro’sLast Jediaction figuresandFunko ’s collection of Pop figures(among other things ) ahead of docket , getting a jump commence on theirStar Warsshopping sprees and set together a lean of everything they want to buy .

Since the porgs are curious by nature , it makes sense why they would be so intrigued by bothChewbaccaandR2 - D2 , who accompanied Rey to Ahch - To to find Luke .

It ’s plausible Chewie forms a bond with one in particular , and he / she essentially becomes the Wicket - meaning the main porg that place upright out the most for the consultation . That variety of subplot is definitely in the plug-in , but motion-picture fan should n’t expect the diminutive creatures to set about fighting the praetorian guards or Kylo Ren . It ’s trueEpisode VIIIaims to cast some surprise at viewers , but that would be a step too far .
