Isle Skellig Michael has a considerable Puffin population, so they re-imagined all the puffins as Porgs.

I'm sure many of you know this already, but it is an incredibly important fact that more people need to be aware of.

Baby Yoda ain't got shit on space puffins.

It's amazing that Rian Johnson cut out Luke's third lesson and all of Finn's interactions with stormtroopers to save time, but kept in an entire subplot about Chewie becoming friends with a bird

What the hell is "Ilse Skellig"? There are two Skelligs islands, Skellig Michael and Skellig Beag, or Little Skellig.

And yeah, the town you take boats from to get to the Skelligs is called Portmagee and for the Star Wars festival they have down in that area of the country since the new films, they rename the town to "Porgmagee" -

Porgs are the best thing the sequel trilogy came up with. The newest film took a cowards stance by leaving them out. Like it's obvious that one would be chewie's new pet while piloting the falcon.

It might please you to know that in canon, according to the TROS visual dictionary, Porgs have now spread far and wide throughout numerous planets in the galaxy due to stowaways on the Falcon

Puffins are better though. Love puffins.
Currently, there is a small ceramic puffin figurine sitting in front of me, he sits in front of my monitor,
A plush puffin sitting on my bed who my friend gave to me after her holiday in Ireland,
And a plush puffin from Epcot disney world that sits in my car to protect it, he hath be dubbed "The Protection Puffin"

I think they're more guinea pigs than puffins. The jaw works the same way. Similar tongue and the only diff is they're more hurry and upright. Put them in all fours and reduce the eyes a bit and you're a cavy!

I hated porgs at first but then I learned they were just a way to cgi puffins out of shots I thought they were ok.

I was down there over the summer when we visited Ireland. Beautiful country. Didn't make it to the actual island from the movie, but got some good views of it.
