I haven't been very interested in the new Star Warses, despite being a mega-fan as a kid. You know what would get me back instantly? Giant poster. Rebel pilot facing away from camera. Space. Big yellow letters: PORKINS - ThreadSky

PORKINS

Found in the wild.

Companion poster: Just an old school painted poster of Porkins looking skyward with an xwing exploding behind him with the tag line “Pull up”

jessilt.bsky.social•40 days ago

I rather liked The Mandalorian, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka. Everything else was sort of meh.

femel.bsky.social•40 days ago

Piggy.

lok-kol.bsky.social•40 days ago

Somehow...Porkins has returned

moominpapa.bsky.social•40 days ago

I believe that should be "Stars War."

ironicunrest.bsky.social•39 days ago

Porkskins gets me as well.

daedricnonsense.bsky.social•40 days ago

Yeah, I've never liked that there was a really fat guy they called Porkins who died stupidly.

pestobird.bsky.social•40 days ago

Somehow, Porkins survived...

thealienfactor.bsky.social•39 days ago

They need to give Elan Sleazebaggano his own film trilogy.

voxmagi.bsky.social•40 days ago

lol!!! but srsly...for me...its just been too much. The loss of seasons as a yearly model for release...the production of 4-12 shows at a time, all with intermittent schedules of up to 2 or 3 years. I just bowed out from exhaustion and the desire to watch things that are more 'complete' and timely

mattkavz.bsky.social•40 days ago

I’m holding out for the sequel Porkins Revenge.

cinamngrl514.bsky.social•40 days ago

Genuine laugh out loud moment. Thank you.

zorkmuckerborg.bsky.social•39 days ago

Lol I thought this meant Porgs and now I just want a universe filled with them

carronlaforce.bsky.social•40 days ago

Poor Porkins....he got some short shrift, ya know? Nobody believed in him, but he always believed in himself.

justajanet.bsky.social•40 days ago

Porkins was the best!

dougwar40k.bsky.social•40 days ago

Star Wars: Porkins, coming to Disney Plus in... almost there... just a few... more... seconds....

brieldridge.bsky.social•39 days ago

🤣🤣🤣

danrayv.bsky.social•40 days ago

Once George sold out to Disney, I vowed not ro be interested either. But then my daughter wanted to see The Force Awakens, so we did. Han and Chewie did it for me, and Rey is just fantastic. Plus Poe and the evil of the First Order. Plus, lots of Falconry!

chkgrz.bsky.social•40 days ago

My honest opinion is that Rogue One was pretty good. I think it holds it own when compared to the original trilogy.

bergwebern.bsky.social•39 days ago

too soon!

vonneely.bsky.social•40 days ago

People laugh, but simply by being at Yavin it meant that Prokins was skilled enough to have survived Scarif. Not many Rebel pilots could say the same.

srednieel.bsky.social•40 days ago

Yeah, but what about Wedge?

chindaswind.bsky.social•40 days ago

Absolutely. No nostalgia bait, no multiverse shenanigans—just a raw, unfiltered commitment to Porkins. The unsung hero, the legend. Imagine the trailer: solemn drum beats, a crackling comm signal, then a voice—"Stay on target." Instant chills. Instant ticket purchase.

stevekarmazenuk.bsky.social•40 days ago

Do it like the Johnny Cash biopic: Just before the Battle of Yavin, Porkins reflects back on his entire life, and how he went from supporter of the Grand Army of the Republic to a disillusioned pilot for the Empire, to a deathsticker outcast loser, to a hero pilot of the Rebel Alliance.

pttg.bsky.social•39 days ago

I wonder if producers see this sort of thing and are like, "SEE, we gotta make this spinoff!"

anguirus.bsky.social•40 days ago

…but that’s Pops 😂

dandeedee.bsky.social•40 days ago

Side note I learned just today that his first name is Jek.

fmriguy.bsky.social•40 days ago

Consequently, the tag line of that movie must certainly be “You Don’t Know Jek”

broadwayjoefyvm.bsky.social•40 days ago

blueberry416.bsky.social•39 days ago

I have something better than Porkins. Do you SEE how cute this little boy is? He’s a lead in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. I’m trying to get everyone I know to watch because it’s a cute show and I want a second season of his adorableness. 😭

plungerman.bsky.social•40 days ago

watch andor.

isthisabadtime.bsky.social•40 days ago

To save his friends he has to hold it and totally does

asmrlunalullaby.bsky.social•40 days ago

Andor was really good and I thought Skeleton Crew was fun!

kartman111.bsky.social•39 days ago

I suggest you give Andor a chance

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9253284/

cassian-nandor.bsky.social•39 days ago

I agree with this sentiment

mwhitebm2.bsky.social•40 days ago

He can hold it! No, he’s alright!

david-baxendale.bsky.social•40 days ago

It think the recent three can be summed up with..
"Somehow (hidden for spoilers) came back".

No notice, no build up, just "we need a villian so I've just put names in this bag, let's pick one"..

empathyfatigue.bsky.social•40 days ago

I’d agree but only if it turns out - and this could be 3/4ths through the movie - that Porkins didn’t die. He escapes into the DS then takes a TIE and gets away. Also plug for Rogue 2: Many Bothans, a Raid style movie with cat ninjas vs. Vader in hallway mode the whole time.

tobybartels.bsky.social•40 days ago

Phineas and Ferb fixed this.

thecreamers.bsky.social•40 days ago

You know what would get me back? Stop using so much CGI and get back to a storyline. I loved Star Wars from the beginning, but after the last one I doubt we’ll go back for another one if it were to happen.

brendan87na.bsky.social•40 days ago

Go watch Andor. It's amazing, and it doesn't lean on the CGI so much.

ssstephanie.bsky.social•40 days ago

I loved the originals back in the day and then recently re-watched them along with all new ones. So disappointing.

leefgabelwriter.bsky.social•40 days ago

I remembered this so clearly from the comic. He will be avenged.

berserkercoach.bsky.social•40 days ago

stay on target

pkstar4.bsky.social•40 days ago

Skelton crew was very entertaining Goonies+Treasure Planet vibes

marcherwitch.bsky.social•40 days ago

while i cannot give you that, i urge you to watch the phineas and ferb star wars special...

happyhiram.bsky.social•40 days ago

They’d only botch that too!

[automiscorrect keeps changing botch to bitch. Same difference, but the goal is if you stop using thousands of words they can type for us and all phrases will use the same 800 stock words (they say stick words, yup same)]

imnotreal689.bsky.social•40 days ago

Wedge Antilles show when?

kelseaj.bsky.social•40 days ago

Andor is incredible, highly recommend giving it a go if you haven’t

hewbreeze.bsky.social•40 days ago

What ^ says

timlagor.bsky.social•40 days ago

I've already had the ending spoiled

hexbear.bsky.social•40 days ago

Did you watch Rogue One or Andor?

whothehellissalem.bsky.social•40 days ago

was never into star wars but this post is the first time i have ever seen somebody write the plural of star wars as "star warses" and i'm mildly terrified

mick-kelly.bsky.social•40 days ago

Something oddly Gollum-ish about it.

mijin11.bsky.social•40 days ago

Started to watch Skelton Crew. Fell out of it. I am not going to lie, the kids took me out. And I know it’s a kid show like Goonies, and Explorers from back in the day. Should I jump back in??

predictorholly.bsky.social•40 days ago

ZOMG. YESSSS!

wildigital.bsky.social•40 days ago

I’m sure they’ve got top men working on it.

kitkatee.bsky.social•40 days ago

I liked the mandalorian when it came out. Loved clone wars. I like Rogue One & Andor. Not crazy about anything else that’s come out… it feels too… corporate.

stoosherman.bsky.social•40 days ago

Porkins sucked.

thehappypetchannel.bsky.social•39 days ago

Please check us out. We’re new here.

gonature.bsky.social•40 days ago

I didn't think I would ever see it the same way I did as a kid ever again after jarjar.

But WOW to The Mandalorian.

Sooooo pleasantly surprised.

And as a 50 year old I was HUGELY AGAINST "BABY YODA".

Like, ready to boycott star wars level shit.

Lol

robtasm.bsky.social•40 days ago

You were just jealous that 50-year-old Grogu is so much cuter than 50-year-old you

gonature.bsky.social•39 days ago

Lol.
Hahaha

Yeah.
That's what it is.

You got me.
"smarty the smart guy"

robtasm.bsky.social•39 days ago

All in good fun, I hope. There's no market for plushie dolls that look like me, either.

gonature.bsky.social•38 days ago

And NOW I may have insight on how YOU shine through your writing.

Also?
I'm a suUper hot 50 year old that EVERYONE falls in love with soOo, yeah.

Lol

givepatajob.bsky.social•40 days ago

Hell yes

anguirus.bsky.social•40 days ago

I just saw an incredible game of X-Wing where the guy built his list around Porkins (who’s not considered a top pilot) and just used his ability over and over—even though it has a 50% chance of damaging him. Cue the announcer crying “HE CAN HOLD IT!” every time he survived it.

anguirus.bsky.social•40 days ago

Beat down a Poe list that was a lot more, uh, good, or at least more in tune with the metagame.

If that wasn’t enough, he digitally painted Porkins’ face on all his ships, and put little pictures of Biggs and Porkins in their respective cockpits.

phusion.bsky.social•40 days ago

Sounds like Rebel One, would be a great one to get back into. Some of the shows are good as well, but I didn't like The Mandalorian or Obi Wan very much.. Skeleton Crew was fun though.

mercurywoodrose.bsky.social•40 days ago

OG HERE. Saw Star Wars live in the theater seven times in 1977. The only thing that will save Star Wars is if they release the original film without the CGI editions to movie theaters worldwide on the 50th anniversary 70 mm or IMAX nothing less this is absolutely the hill I will die on

bustabeat66.bsky.social•40 days ago

jimswenson.bsky.social•40 days ago

What would get me back instantly is taking it off the subscription model.
