Once upon a time , a new Star Wars movie was coming out and everyone was excited . Not only was it a tax return to a dear franchise , but it also boast a new adorable mascot ! Some ab initio dismissed it as the next Ewok , but eventually the world fell in dear . But now , that mascot , our beloved BB-8 , has been replaced . And he ’s not felicitous about it .

The Late Show with Stephen Colbertopenedits Tuesday instalment with a tribute to BB-8 ’s suffering at the hand of the porg , The Last Jedi ’s wide - eyed puffin stranger . Seems this novel animal has stolen the spotlight from the buoyant piddling droid , and this pee-pee him off . Over the form of the brusk cartridge holder , we see news outlets rave over the newfangled critter , while BB-8 drinks himself into a grogginess as he stare over powder store cover filled with porg pouf pieces .

I personally care to envisage that porgs are actually these devious , megalomaniacal monsters , and this is all part of their plan to take over the domain . Much like the cubes from “ The Power of Three ” episode of Doctor Who , their end is to infiltrate homes across the world with their seemingly well-meaning prettiness , only to then represent their attack and destroy us all .

Be ready , people , the porgs are derive . And when they do , we ’ll shudder at the noesis that BB-8 tried to discourage us — only we did n’t heed , because they ’re just too damn cute .
