So Chewbacca Has A Guinea Pig Now?

Like everyone else on this planet I saw the "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," trailer.  Forget all the light-sabers and space battles.  What we really want to know is why Chewbacca has a guinea pig?  For those who don't know what I'm talking about, look at this.

I can only imagine how the meeting went when a writer brought this up.  Here's how I imagine it went down.

Writer:  Here's the thing, and you're going to love this.  Chewbacca, right?  He has, and get this, a guinea pig.

Hollywood Big Wig:  Wait, what?  You mean like my daughter has?  So you're saying the big hairy dog now has a guinea pig?

Writer:  Yes and no!  He has a guinea pig, but it's a space guinea pig.

Big Wig:  Well, how's that any different?

Writer:  We won't call it a guinea pig.  We'll call it a Porg.

Big Wig:  You mean like the fish?

Writer:  No, that's a Porgy.  This is called a "Porg."

Big Wig:  I don't know about this.

Writer:  Hey!  You wanted the next Ewok!  Here's your #$%^ing Ewok!

Big Wig: (10 seconds of silence.)  Can it be ready by Christmas?

Writer:  You bet your sweet @#$% it can!

Now I can't be sure if that's exactly how the meeting went, but ... Of course that's exactly how the meeting went!  But who cares.  You know come this December we are all going to the theater to see it regardless.  And if you have kids be prepared to purchase some serious stuffed toy Porgs.
