The Porg Stowaway was a porg male[2] from the ancient planet Ahch-To who hid away aboard the Millennium Falcon, along with at least three other porgs before the Battle of Crait. During the battle, the stowaway got in the way of Chewbacca's piloting. One instance resulted in Chewbacca's batting him away with his arm.[1]
Following the Battle on Crait, the stowaway noticed vulptices running away from the cave where Resistance forces were hiding.[1]
The porg later watched the Resistance personnel aboard the Falcon and perched with Rey while she tried reading the Sacred Jedi texts.[3]
Behind the scenes[]
The Porg Stowaway was first seen in the trailer for the 2017 film Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, the second installment of the Star Wars sequel trilogy.[4] During a Q&A with Collider, The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson was asked by a fan what the name of the Porg Stowaway was. He gave the question back to the fan, who came up with the name "Terbus." Following the Nathan's suggestion, Johnson responded with "Pablo [Hidalgo], if you're listening to this livestream, that porg's name is now Terbus."[5] Pablo Hidalgo, on his part, suggested Chewbacca named the porg "Han."[2] A porg named Terbus later appeared in the 2019 comic book Star Wars Adventures (2017) 27.[6]
