The Last Jedi Sound Documentary Reveals That Porg Sounds Come From Chickens And Other Secrets

Star Wars fans might have fallen in love with Star Wars: The Last Jedi's Porgs, but little do they know that the sounds created by Rian Johnson's squawking little balls of curiosity are actually just the sounds of chickens being processed through an Alvin and the Chipmunks filter.

ABC News has a new documentary the covers the sound design of Lucasfilm's latest sequel trilogy installment and the film gives away some sound secrets from The Force Awakens sequel. In the video fans get to have a closer look at the efforts of the film's foley crew, understanding the importance of sound. It might not seem to matter, but giving each object a distinct sound helps bring the film to life, and the documentary underlines how a lot of The Last Jedi's biggest and most memorable moments actually rely a lot on sound.

The documentary has a lot to offer. There's an explanation for how Kylo Ren and Rey's Force-talk scenes get their distinct "speaking in a vacuum" sound and an explanation for the audio layers that are behind that moment BB-8 spends with a drunk alien gambler in Canto Bight. The explanation for the Holdo Maneuver's in the documentary as well. The video's definitely a gem that helps fans review The Last Jedi before the film gets its home release.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi gets its Digital release on March 13 and its Blu-Ray and DVD on March 27.
