Unfortunately for Porgs, however, they are also a great dinner dish for Wookies. Chewbacca is seen munching happily on a roasted Porg. At least they’re useful instead of just being cute!
The main character in the newest trilogy, Rey, is seen making some incredibly fast-rising bread in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It seems to be a very convenient meal prep choice on the dangerous planet of Jakku. Not only that, but the bread is a practical effect made on set instead of CGI!
