Lucasfilm and IfOnly have partnered to offer this incredible sculpture rendering of the alien bird signed by three of Star Wars’ biggest names.
This limited-edition porg maquette is one of five ever made and features the autographs of director/writer Rian Johnson, producer Kathleen Kennedy and creature designer Neal Scanlan. With detailed etching and colors, the statuette showcases the doe-eyed creature that populated the sacred Jedi island of Ach-To. This particular porg was used as a film prop to line up shots in Star Wars: The Last Jedi and was used on several locations overseas and in-studio throughout the filmmaking process. The exclusive collectable arrives posed on a wood block with each signature in bold, black ink. Funds from this sale will benefit Tipping Point’s Emergency Fire Relief Fund, supporting low-income communities affected by the devastating fires in the North Bay.
