UPDATE! Porg Toy Footage Reveals What Creatures Sound Like.
Porgs effectively stole the hearts of the Star Wars fandom literally the second they were first revealed, and it’s no surprise that Disney is already capitalizing on Porg hype by including the adorable watchers of Ahch-To as soon as Force Friday. Now, we can actually hear what these little balls of fluff are going to sound like.
A fan who was lucky enough to find a Porg plush got to hit the “Try me!” button on the creature, so we now know what it sounds like. In short – kind of like Elmo, if he were a Space-Puffin-Penguin-Thing.
Time will tell if these characters will be as adored by audiences watching The Last Jedi as they are now (with some worried that they’re at risk of being the new Ewoks), but for now, let’s just bask in how cute these things are. Awwwwww.
UPDATE!
Someone on Reddit found an eBay listing which shows an image of the back of the box:
Grant has been a fan of Star Wars for as long as he can remember, having seen every movie on the big screen. When he’s not hard at work with his college studies, he keeps himself busy by reporting on all kinds of Star Wars news for SWNN and general movie news on the sister site, Movie News Net. He served as a frequent commentator on SWNN’s The Resistance Broadcast.
I think the creature is adorable… that sound however. Hopefully it’s not as cringe worthy on film.
If you think a bird crossed with a seal is cringeworthy.
The real reason the Death Star was invented.
It DOES sound like Elmo.
“No, I’m sure of it. I hate him.”
“Porgs effectively stole the hearts of the Star Wars fandom literally the second they were first revealed”…….ummm no they didn’t.
Maybe not your part of the fandom, but judging by the ubiquitous amount of fanart of these things there are, they accomplished that purpose.

My 10-year-old daughter has seen all the movies, but didn’t show true excitement about TLJ until she saw the porgs.
Case in point!

On the Porg Toy Box, I don’t like how it just has REY, FINN, and POE in the upper corner. Where’s LUKE?
Old men aren’t easy to market to younger audiences, which is why the new kids are on the box and Luke isn’t.

News flash: “REY, FINN, and POE” are the heroes of the new trilogy. The main characters. The leads. The legacy character are precisely that: legacy.
Also, what KungFuCthulhu said.
So who of those 3 is the Skywalker? Since the big honcho KK has said that the saga films are all about the Skywalkers…
Kylo Ren. Obviously.
Ben Solo Skywalker? Could this be all about him and here we are thinking about Rey?
Why does it even matter? I’m sorry, but if you are concerned with the family name of the main character(s) of a movie you seriously need to rethink the way you watch movies.
LoL, relax, take a deep breath. You seriously need to rethink the way you read into comments on message boards.
This is called “I have no arguments, so I’ll lol and make an attempt at a snarky reply rephrasing someone else’s comment”.
Granted, there are worse ways to admit that focusing on “who’s the Skywalker” is dumb — but there are also way better ones. So… better luck next time, I guess? 🙂
It’s called “I do not care in the slightest about you, or what you think about me or my comments”, but really, I think you take yourself and the comments way too seriously, you seem kinda angry, but hey, that’s like my opinion, man.
Jesus
Pretty sure he isn’t going to be in it. It’s set in space.
Maybe space Jesus …

Wow! That’s actually a little disturbing!
Gives new meaning to the term “peg warmer”.
The slave Leia outfit seals the deal.
WHERE’S BUTTER???
Mark Hamill was too busy falling into the trappings of the idiotic left/right paradigm on Twitter, so he totally missed the Hasbro promo photo-shoot. Either that, or he had coupons for Smashburger (where it’s always ‘free cigarette day’).
Even their voices are annoying!
It’s like birds
Are you sure this will be the final sound? I remember that BB-8 toys sounded slightly different too. Anyway, we have to see them in action, interacting with rhe characters and the environment.This is just a random recorded sound, not enough. I’m still curious to see how the Porgs will be used in the movie.
Love the synchronized camera work! lol
well that’s very annoying…
Cute
Off topic, but can anyone point me towards the leaked full body Snoke stuff that hit recently.
Them Porgs will sell like Hotcakes. Buy 10 and flog them on Ebay for a huge Markup at Christmas.
Ey b0ss you mean this one? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/562b3472805393551ef6b0b22350de2e40a7c9b628cbc26c198c22e8c0683175.jpg
I haven’t seen any full body pics.
Snoke should have used Gillette instead of Bic……in my opinion.
Is Snoke somehow “damaged” as Andy Serkis once said, or is this the way his species naturally looks like ?
These things will sell like iPhones!*
*No one knows what hotcakes are anymore. If you dont like iPhones then choose something else, just not hotcakes.
They’ll sell like Porgs.
Hows that? 🙂
Now THAT, we can all understand!
“They’ll sell like Hot Porgs!”
Oh..my..god
I LOVE it!!
Maybe it’s just a kind of gremlin: do not feed after 12
Everything tells me that Disney demanded these creatures be shoehorned into TLJ in order to sell this exact toy. This is Baby Groot crossed with the Ewoks (in terms of selling something cute to little kids). Otherwise, there doesn’t seem to be much in this movie to draw in the very young audience.
“Otherwise, there doesn’t seem to be much in this movie to draw in the very young audience.”
How about…Star Wars? No one is going to see a film just for cute birds, and by all accounts the Porgs were Rian Johnson’s idea. Calm down.
Last time I checked kids liked space battles, lightsaber fights, droids, vehicles, heroes and villains, just to name a few.
Considering they are unable to do any type of product placement in these films, I have no problems with the extensive amount of stuff they do to create and sell toys as well as product tie ins.
I am looking more forward to the Porgs in The Last Jedi than the movie itself!
I want to see the interactions with Chewy. I sense… cute things in their future.
I sense snacks for Chewie.

These cute little guys are already massively over-exposed. Kms
Haters gonna hate, but I frakking love these little guys already!
The annoying sound is almost identical to the latest batch of boys and girls running around these days.
The scene where they worship the golden “Chip & Dale” statue will blow everyone away.
If Chewy doesn’t eat one of these things I’ll be disappointed. After all, he is always thinking with his stomach.
They probably won’t have a lot of screen time anyway. Also, I think Disney forced this upon Rian. Nothing to worry about really
I need one of those for one of my kids, don’t care which as long as I get one in the house…..
Sir David Attenborough: Do not miss my next documentary on the life of the porgs
This 46 year old Star Wars fan loves Porgs. I want a flock. This is what I’m buying on Force Friday.
Come on Science, GMO some creatures so we can have real Porg pets.
