<p>The Last Jedi trailer has <a href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kJ36oNzD2zo">finally dropped</a> and everyone is already waiting for the &#8220;Chewie and the Porg&#8221; buddy cop movie to be announced! Unsurprisingly, the Porg has quickly become a favorite to many Star Wars fans, working it&#8217;s way into our hearts with mimicry of Chewbacca&#8217;s mighty roar.</p>
<p>These tiny bird-like creatures are native to the planet Ahch-To, the place where Jedi Master Luke Skywalker exiled himself after the Battle of Endor. The creatures dwell on the cliffs of the island where Skywalker lives (in the upcoming film) and at least one Porg buddy appears to accompany Chewie on the Millennium Falcon in the trailer.</p>
<p>Of course, this means the Porg have started to invade the retail space for the holiday shopping season. Here are our 25 favorite Porg related items across the Web:</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">The Last Jedi Star Wars Porg Stickers</h3>
<p><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/porg-stickers.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-30208" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/porg-stickers-1024x575.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="porg-stickers" width="620" height="348" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/porg-stickers-1024x575.jpg 1024w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/porg-stickers-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/porg-stickers-768x431.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>Melding the Porg with popular characters such as Rey &amp; Luke Skywalker, this Porg sticker set also includes Kylo Ren, Finn and Poe Dameron. Easy sticker is roughly 3 inches and is made out of vinyl weatherproof material. The full set runs $20 or you can buy individual stickers for about $5.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Funko POP! Porg</h3>
<p><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/porg-funko.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-30218" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/porg-funko-1024x731.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="porg-funko" width="620" height="443" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/porg-funko-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/porg-funko-300x214.jpg 300w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/porg-funko-768x548.jpg 768w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/porg-funko.jpg 1200w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>It was inevitable that Funko would create a Porg Pop! figure. Beyond the other POP! figures like Luke Skywalker, Snoke and the Snowtrooper / <span id="productTitle" class="a-size-large">Flametrooper, the Porg figure is being sold in two varieties; one with mouth closed / tan feathers and one with mouth open / brown feathers.

<p>This two-piece pajama set features a Porgs print covering the entire top &amp; bottom. It includes a scoop neck, long raglan sleeves, ribbed cuffs on the top and jogger-style, tapered-fit pants on the bottom. Retail price is $30, but look for sales when Disney has store-wide coupons.</p>

<p>Timed for release on December 15th in conjunction with The Last Jedi release date, this tale of Chewbacca the Wookiee and the pesky porgs of Ahch-To will likely contain spoilers from the movie.

<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" ></div><p class="p1"><div class="blue-box"><div class="blue-box-content">Spoiler alert: Only if you’ve never seen the trailers or TV spots. OK, a *tiny* spoiler in the second to last paragraph.</div></div></p>
<p>A day after the Disney Empire (First Order?) took over the movie universe—via the fantastically timed buyout of Fox, the old home of the first two Star Wars trilogies—the latest chapter of the saga hits the big screen, powered by the usual media barrage and glittering praise from an adoring press. (What happened to those crusty pretentious critics from the olden days? Yeah, they were struck down by the fanboys&#8230;who became more powerful than you can possibly imagine.)</p>
<p><span class="dropcap">L</span>ucasfilm chief exec Kathleen Kennedy tapped 43-year-old writer-director Rian Johnson, the indie auteur behind cult movies <em>Looper</em> and <em>Brick</em>, to bring an up-to-date sensibility to the 40-year-old franchise. In some ways, he is the star of the movie. Like Irvin Kershner was to George Lucas, he’s a more stylish director than J.J. Abrams with a more cinematic touch and a way of framing faces that heightens the sense of drama. In almost Kurosawa fashion, Johnson uses color—especially red—to distinguish the action set pieces. (In the lead-up to release, he even cited <em>Three Outlaw Samurai</em> by another Japanese director Hideo Gosha as a major influence.)</p>
<p>But as the sole credited writer of <em>The Last Jedi,</em> Johnson stumbles around a bit searching for newness in the old bones of Star Wars. Some of it works well, some of it doesn’t and some of it simply adds to the gradually ballooning running time (2 hours and 33 minutes—the longest Star Wars movie). Like a lot of big movies from the past 15 years, it racks up many more endings less satisfying than the last, and then never really ends at all. Here&#8217;s looking at you, Marvel movies&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Rey-and-Luke.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-31132" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Rey-and-Luke.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="" width="1170" height="780" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Rey-and-Luke.jpg 1170w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Rey-and-Luke-300x200.jpg 300w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Rey-and-Luke-768x512.jpg 768w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Rey-and-Luke-1024x683.jpg 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px" /></a></p>
<p>The hype before the movie, based on Johnson’s pedigree, was that <em>The Last Jedi</em> would be the “Empire” of the new sequel trilogy. To their credit, Johnson and the cast and crew don&#8217;t really play that game, which was wise. But is <em>The Last Jedi</em> better than <em>The Force Awakens</em>? Time will tell, but you could say yes and no&#8230;so let’s the count the ways, starting with the good parts.</p>
<p><em>The Last Jedi</em> excels because Mark Hamill (aka Luke-freakin&#8217;-Skywalker) gets to actually say a word. He is still the soul of the Star Wars universe, and he lifts the movie whenever and wherever he appears. He does what you expect, but it’s still thrilling and director Johnson manages to throw in some light moments and dramatic curveballs. While it was great to see Harrison Ford return in <em>The Force Awakens</em>, his time away from the universe kicking bad guys off planes and getting angry was hard to ignore. Mark Hamill is still, well, Luke. (Hey, he’s a good actor.)</p>
<p><span class="dropcap">T</span>he lightsaber fighting in this movie—this is not a spoiler, people, come on—is staged in a refreshing and cool way. There *may* even be some use of old-school cinema techniques to enhance said lightsaber action. You’ll see. Johnson also manages to reduce the number of OT callbacks to a much subtler amount. So Rian Johnson gets it on the nerd level.</p>
<p>The Porgs, the birdlike creatures that became an instant hit from the trailer, do steal their scenes but are not as annoying as you might suspect, nor are they overused. There’s a brief but awesome scene with Chewbacca and the Porgs that&#8217;s more entertaining than anything involving the Ewoks. In addition to Porgs, we get some interesting voiceless animal creatures: the Vulptex, crystal foxes living on the planet Crait, and the Fathiers, big-eared space horses that are a cross between Tauntauns and <a href="https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/p__/images/8/80/Vlc_2014-05-26_20-03-51-81.bmp.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140717072010&amp;path-prefix=protagonist">Falkor</a> from <em>The NeverEnding Story</em>.</p>

<p>Daisy Ridley is once again in fine form as Rey, and her interplay with Adam Driver (Ben Solo/Kylo Ren) represents the new dramatic pulse of the sequels. <em>The Last Jedi</em> really starts pumping when it focuses on these two, as well as Luke, but when it doesn’t…</p>
<p>Now, let&#8217;s turn to the Dark Side of <em>The Last Jedi. </em>No, not the much ballyhooed “darker” tone, which is present&#8230;but not as much as you think since Rian Johnson keeps the light humor that J.J. Abrams established in the previous movie. Rather, there <em>are</em> actually parts that don’t really work in <em>The Last Jedi</em>, though mostly concealed by much of the press in its rush to coronate this movie as the next &#8220;Empire.&#8221;</p>
<p><em>The Last Jedi</em> contains three movies in one—hence its running time—and the puzzle pieces feel hurriedly thrown together at times. Although it’s nowhere near the rehash fest that <em>TFA </em>was, this installment is weaker structurally because it has trouble focusing. While Rian Johnson does just enough to keep the audience on its toes, he’s still passing the baton off to the next director (J.J. again), with more secrets piling on secrets instead of a balance of revelation vs. mystery as in <em>Empire</em>.</p>
<p><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Kylo-Ren.png"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-31134" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Kylo-Ren.png" loading="lazy" alt="" width="1600" height="782" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Kylo-Ren.png 1600w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Kylo-Ren-300x147.png 300w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Kylo-Ren-768x375.png 768w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Kylo-Ren-1024x500.png 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px" /></a></p>
<p>And despite the movie&#8217;s length, we really don’t get a deeper understanding of the main characters. Both Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron)—who is a star-level talent—and John Boyega (Finn) are given various things to do, but the scenes don’t shed anything new or interesting about them. The villains Snoke, General Hux and Captain Phasma are by turns more menacing and more ridiculous (almost unbelievably so) than they were in <em>The Force Awakens</em>.</p>
<p><span class="dropcap">W</span>e are introduced to several new characters on the side of the Resistance: some interesting, some who just fill up time, and some who are more cardboard than Mon Mothma. And then there&#8217;s the return of a much beloved character whose, uh, appearance makes you wonder if they’ve actually seen <em>The Empire Strikes Back</em>.</p>
<p>There’s a lot of talk of conflict in <em>The Last Jedi</em>, and if you truly search your feelings, you will sense the conflict in the movie itself&#8230;as it’s not sure what it wants to be but hopes everyone will love it anyway. <em>Verdict</em>: Arguably better or worse than the previous installment, <em>The Last Jedi</em> is still not an <em>Empire</em> yet.</p>

<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" ></div><p>When Columbia announced they were coming out with a <a href="https://www.columbia.com/starwars/">line of winter jackets</a> inspired by the ones Han, Luke, and Leia wore during the Hoth scenes in The Empire Strikes back, I knew I had to have one. I mean, I have been obsessed with Leia since I was eight years old. I live in snowy Minnesota, which basically <em>is</em> Hoth right now. The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite movie of all time. It was meant to be!</p>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/leia-jacket.jpg" loading="lazy" /></p>
<p>Then I found out they were going to cost $400(!!) and decided I probably shouldn&#8217;t spend that kind of money on a jacket, even if it was the coolest jacket I&#8217;d ever seen in my entire life. Thankfully, my husband knew better and decided to surprise me with one. He got to the Columbia store about 30 minutes before they opened on Friday morning, and waited in line with a bunch of other Star Wars nerds in hopes of getting my dream Leia jacket for me before it sold out.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/IMG_4068.jpg" loading="lazy" width="503" height="653" /></p>
<p>By the time he got into the store, all the Han jackets were already gone, just a couple Lukes left, and a handful of Leias. Online,<a href="https://www.adweek.com/brand-marketing/columbia-created-a-line-of-empire-strikes-back-jackets-and-sold-out-in-minutes/"> all three styles sold out completely within 7 minutes</a>. But lucky for me, he came home with this:</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/IMG_9697-e1512939466901.jpg" loading="lazy" width="486" height="648" /></p>
<p>I have to say, despite the ridiculous price tag, this jacket is amazing. I like that it doesn&#8217;t look like a costume or even scream &#8220;Star Wars&#8221; to someone who isn&#8217;t a fan. To most people it probably just looks like a cool, vintage-y jacket, but <em>I</em> know, and other people who love Stars Wars know, it&#8217;s something special.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/AACCAB8D-1E74-4254-86FD-27AA10E0A118.jpg" loading="lazy" width="477" height="636" /></p>
<p>In addition to looking cool, it&#8217;s also really warm! Columbia really didn&#8217;t cut any corners with quality here. The vest and jacket are actually two separate articles of clothing (that could be worn on their own if you wanted to). The jacket is completely lined with their shiny Omni-Heat thermal reflective lining, and has super soft fleece inside the pockets. There&#8217;s also a hood that zips into the collar of the vest, and some other nice touches like a leather rebels symbol and a &#8220;May the Force Be With You&#8221; patch sewn on the inside.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/IMG_9917.jpg" loading="lazy" width="465" height="620" /></p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/IMG_9916.jpg" loading="lazy" width="466" height="621" /></p>
<p>They only made 1,980 of each jacket (because Empire was released in 1980), and the jacket is numbered on the inside tag (I got number 1,123, if you care to know).</p>
<p>Like I said, these are completely sold out of these at Columbia, but you can <a href="https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?pub=5574715706&amp;toolid=10001&amp;ff3=4&amp;campid=5337198294&amp;mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_odkw%3Dcolumbia%2Bstar%2Bwars%26_osacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xcolumbia%2Bstar%2Bwars%2Bjacket.TRS1%26_nkw%3Dcolumbia%2Bstar%2Bwars%2Bjacket%26_sacat%3D0">find them on eBay</a> (for over MSRP, of course). Han&#8217;s parka seems to be the most popular, with most Buy It Now listings at $1,000 or more (some auctions are at over $900 with lots of bids).</p>
<p>According to Columbia, some stores may have &#8220;select inventory&#8221; still available. If you&#8217;re feeling strong with the force you can try <a href="https://www.tkqlhce.com/click-404255-10728214?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.columbia.com%2Fstarwars%2F">calling one of these stores</a> (scroll down to see a list of locations).</p>
<p>I think it&#8217;s clear Columbia was really smart to do a line from the original series versus doing something from the new films. While their <a href="https://theawesomer.com/columbia-star-wars-rogue-one-jackets/393968/">Rogue One jackets</a> from last year were kind of cool, the response was nothing like it has been for the Han/Luke/Leia Echo Base Collection. Honestly, someone should have done this a long time ago!</p>

<p>Someone asked me if I&#8217;m going to wear my Leia jacket to The Last Jedi movie opening. My response: &#8220;Oh, I&#8217;m going to wear my Leia jacket <em>everywhere</em>.&#8221;</p>

Are you a Dad that&#8217;s looking to embarrass any offspring enthusiastic about Star Wars? Or perhaps a teenager hoping to agitate a parent that watched <em>Empire Strikes Back</em> four times in the theater back in 1980? Maybe you just want to have a little fun standing in line for the first showing of the next Star Wars film?</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve collected a handful of shirts that could infuriate anyone standing in line for <em>The Last Jedi</em>. (Fair warning in case anyone tries to unleash a can of nerd rage on you.)</p>

<p>Who doesn&#8217;t love a good Jedi mind meld? Or is it called a Vulcan mind trick? We forget. In any case, we recommend using the Vulcan salute (both hands, of course) while quoting random nuggets of Jedi wisdom.</p>

<p>Who doesn&#8217;t love everyone&#8217;s favorite Dalek droid from the Star Trek universe, am I right? This shirt offers the added bonus of enraging any Doctor Who fan in the vicinity. Be sure to mention how much you love C-3PO in Will Smith&#8217;s <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0343818/"><em>I, Robot</em> </a>as well.</p>

<p>Who can possibly forget that powerful scene in <em>Return of the Jedi</em> as Yoda fades away and offers Luke one last nugget of sage wisdom? Yoda&#8217;s last words, &#8220;Live Long And Prosper,&#8221; will be remembered throughout history. And now you can show that off on a t-shirt!</p>

<p>Who says you can&#8217;t embrace your patriotism while paying homage to the glorious, American-made AT-ST battle machine?! It&#8217;s clearly a dominant force of destructive power in the Star Trek universe; probably made in Detroit sometime after Robocop was built.</p>

<p>Let&#8217;s be honest, the first Star Wars cast was the best Star Wars cast. I mean how can you beat Captain James T. Kylo? Or Lieutenant commander Hikaru Solo? Or ChewSpocka? It&#8217;s just one of those iconic casts that will be remembered forever.</p>

<h3>Bonus Conversation Starters!</h3>
<p>Are you getting some weird looks for the shirt you are wearing? Don&#8217;t fret! Just break the ice with some of these sure-fire Star Wars conversation starters:</p>
<ul>
<li>Wow, can you believe Kyle Reno killed Hans Gruber with his lightsticker? I mean, who&#8217;s supposed to fly the Millennial Falcor now?</li>
<li>I&#8217;m almost certain that Snoke Plissken guy in The Force Wakes Up is actually Luke Skywheeler in disguise.</li>
<li>Who&#8217;s your favorite Star Wars character? It&#8217;s a tossup for me, between Captain Jack Spocky and Yodal.</li>
<li>I&#8217;m pretty sure I figured out who the Last Jedi is. It&#8217;s either Rey-Rey Binks or a really important Ewok named Randall.</li>
<li>For me, the best Star Wars film was The Last Starfighter. 2nd place? Hmm, maybe Rouge Once.</li>
</ul>
