The second full trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi dropped during the halftime of Monday Night Football (because when we think Star Wars fans, we think football). We already gathered some of the immediate reactions last night, but jokes and photoshops continued to pour in all night because people are undoubtedly excited about this trailer. You’d think it was, like, Star Wars or something.
One thing became clear after the trailer finished. People have fallen in love with Porgs, which were recently described as the “Star Wars version of puffins” but also seem like the tribbles from Star Trek in that they get into places they shouldn’t.

History will record that Porgs came at a time when the world needed them most.

People also noticed Luke Skywalker found something to be afraid about:
"I'm not afraid."

Many voices called out with strong feelings about that scene at the end between Kylo Ren and Rey, even though it appeared to be two separate scenes edited together as a misdirection.

And people had jokes and outbursts of excitement about other details from the trailer, like the altered appearance of Kylo Ren’s scar and how it makes him look a bit like David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust now.
