We only had to see a couple of leaked
images to become totally invested in Porgs,
and the new trailer for The Last
Jedi has proven that we weren't totally misguided.
Obviously,
they're far from the first super-cute creatures in the Star Wars universe. We dug through all of its incredible
species to uncover the 13 cutest. Find out how we ranked them
below.
13. Eopie
Eopies
are totally weird, but there's something adorable about them, too. They're
essentially the camels of Tattooine, but completely hairless with an
aardvark-like nose. You may find them ugly, but we totally disagree.
12. Ronto
Tatooine's pack
animals were built for function, rather than form, in the case of the Eopie as
well as the Ronto. Rontos look like a bizarre mix between some kind of dinosaur
and an elephant. We happen to love both.
11. Tynnan
Tynnans
don't appear in any of the movies, but that doesn't make them any less
worthy of this list. They're highly intelligent otter-like creatures who can
swim around even in the coldest of oceans with ease.
10. Tauntaun
Tauntauns
may be a little weird in the face, but otherwise, they're just
big fluffy snow kangaroos. They may smell bad, but we'd definitely want one by
our sides if we were caught in a snowstorm.
9. Jawas
No
one really knows what Jawas look like under those hoods, but based on their
small stature and glowing yellow eyes, we bet they're
pretty cute.
8. Wookiee
Wookiees
may be space's version of Bigfoot, but thanks to Chewbacca we know they're great
big softies. They're covered in fur from head to toe and they have mean
tempers, but who wouldn't want an adorable.
7. Chadra-Fan
If
you're grossed out by vampire bats, you probably won't be a big fan of
the Chadra-Fan, but we think they look super sweet. Baby bats are totally in, and
these guys look just like them.
6. Kiros Birds
These
small, colorful birds are super smart and are capable of understanding speech.
They're also quite humorous, which makes them even more delightful.
5. Ewoks
Ewoks
are pretty divisive—and they're clearly just people in tiny costumes—but we happen to adore them. They also
speak their own little language, sing festive songs and can construct traps
good enough to take down evil forces. They're pretty much irresistible.
4. Ortolan
It
may surprise you to see Ortolans so high up on this list, but we can't get
enough of them. From their weird elephant trunks to their shiny blue skin, we
think they're super strange in the cutest way possible. They also make some
pretty cool music.
3. Loth-Cats
The
adorable, sharp-toothed Loth-cats aren't always the friendliest creatures in the
galaxy, but they're close to being the cutest. Just look at that smile!
2. These Ice Crystal Foxes
So
we don't actually know what these awesome-looking crystal and/or ice
foxes are just yet, but we want them in our lives. They look ferocious, elegant
and cute at the same time and we can't wait to learn more about them.
1. Porgs
It's
probably already super obvious, but we love Porgs. They're the perfect mix
between penguins and guinea pigs, they're fluffy and round and the
new The Last Jedi trailer
revealed that it has a Baby Groot-like scream.
