How Those Adorable Porgs in ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Got Their Squawk
There’s no denying that the biggest sensation in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” are those adorable little porg creatures, whose squawk is a hybrid of a trio of feathered friends, according to sound designer Ren Klyce.
“At Skywalker Sound there’s a chicken coop with these little chickens, and Coya Elliott, our first assistant, went down and recorded those chickens,” Klyce told Cinemablend. “And then we took that sound and slowed it down and stretched it out and found little chirps.”
“We found this man who releases doves at weddings, and we asked him to come down so we could record them…So we have a little snippet of that [turkey call], a little bit of chicken, a little dove, and cut it all together,” added Kylce.
