Porgs And Ice Foxes
The trailer then cuts to our one clip of Poe Dameron in all this, as he makes an impassioned speech about their fight against evil. “We are the spark that’ll light the fire that’ll bring the First Order down,” says the ace Resistance pilot.
Sorry, Poe, but your spotlight is kind of stolen by the little critters that fans have been waiting to meet. As the Millennium Falcon is chased by First Order ships through what looks to be caverns under the surface of Crait (note the red-tinted rocks), we get a classic Chewbacca roar – followed by a Porg offering its own version. These sea birds are native to Ahch-To, but it looks like one comes along to act as a mascot to the Falcon crew in The Last Jedi.
A little later on, we’re introduced to another new creature for the first time. Some kind of arctic fox native to Crait that looks like it’s actually made of ice. Unlike the Porgs, these have not been promoted much so we have no idea what they are. There’s a whole herd of them seen running from what are likely the AT-M6s, though. Maybe they’ll end up helping the Resistance, much like the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi?
