Daisy Ridley accurately observes that Porgs are trashy garbage creatures next to the magnificent Baby Yoda

Back when Porgs, the doe-eyed penguin things featured in The Last Jedi, were revealed, it was easy to assume that Star Wars aliens had reached a cuteness apex that would go unrivaled long into the future. Now, only two years later, The Mandalorian has given us Baby Yoda, a creature whose design is so devastatingly, heartbreakingly adorable that it’s forced humanity to call into question what we ever saw not only in Porgs, but in kittens, puppies, or any other small, previously precious living being so imperfectly shat out by the natural world.
That Baby Yoda is superior to the Porg is inarguable, but, eager to start an argument that no reasonable person would ever entertain, Jimmy Fallon nonetheless asked Daisy Ridley, who plays Rey in the latest Star Wars trilogy, which of the two aliens she prefers.
“What’s cuter?” he asks, holding up pictures showing the resplendent Yoda, a small green king reclining in his floating egg-shaped throne, next to a musty old Porg looking toward the viewer with wet eyes that reveal the sadness it feels knowing how completely its position in pop culture has been usurped.
