6. Feeding The Porg Love

Ever since the adorable little rat penguins appeared in a behind-the-scenes sizzle reel, the Star Wars universe has been struck down by Porg fever. Even knowing that we are all being played for the merchandise loving corporate fools we are, you can't deny how sodding beautiful the little guys are, and now we've got to see one in action in the trailer.

That little honked mimicking of Chewie was adorable, and if it weren't for the fact that it feels like the Wookiee is definitely planning on eating the little fella as a driving snack, it would be a stand-out in the teaser for all fans. It's definitely the most likely to be GIFed into oblivion, that's for sure.

So while it's fan-baiting, that's not always a bad thing, and it's a pretty genius way of making sure they sell even more stuffed toys before The Last jedi actually comes out.
