Star Wars: The Last Jedi is still two months away from release, but the porgs are already enjoying a warm embrace from many fans. Yes, it’s true, some fear that porgs are the second coming the Gungans and Ewoks, plenty have fallen fast and hard for these adorably bizarre birdlike creatures. Now, one porg-loving fan is taking things to the next level by using only porg sounds to cover John Williams‘ iconic Star Wars theme.
This Star Wars theme cover was created by Volpe Music, using only the noises from the new porg toys. Once The Last Jedi is released, there may be many more porg sounds to choose from. And if this catches on, there could actually be porg albums, kind of like the way that recordings of dogs and cats have been turned into Christmas records. And if you think that Lucasfilm would never allow a Star Wars holiday album, then it means that you’ve probably forgotten about Christmas in the Stars!
Now imagine if that awesome Ralph McQuarrie painting was remade with porgs taking the place of the droids. It might be a funny visual, but listening to an entire album of porg-inspired covers might challenge the sanity of any musically inclined fan. One way or another, it seems pretty safe to say that we’ll be seeing and hearing a lot from the porgs for years to come.
