There’s nothing quite like an actor who’s at the end of their franchise and feels like they can finally be honest. Star Wars star Daisy Ridley may have sung the praises of porgs back when The Last Jedi was out, but now that she’s nearing the end of her journey with The Rise of Skywalker, the gloves are coming off.

When Fallon asked Ridley point-blank which was cuter, Ridley did not waste any time replying with “Baby Yoda.”

“Look, I’m not a big fan of the porgs,” she said. “We worked for six months on The Last Jedi and in every interview, “˜What about the porgs?’ I was like, “˜The porgs were there for a day, I was there every day for six months. We worked hard’”
I’m still on the fence whether I prefer Baby Yoda or the porgs. They’re both so damn adorable…which is exactly what Disney is going for. Dammit, Mouse, you want me to spend all my money on cute things, and you know that’s exactly what I’m going to do. Let me know which camp you’re in. And no, I don’t want to know if you’re interested in eating either of them. We’ve already been down that hypothetical road, and it doesn’t end well for anyone.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker comes out on December 19. The Mandalorian, with all of its Baby Yoda cuteness, is currently airing on Disney+. You can also watch Ridley do an excellent Star Wars-themed rap from the same Tonight Show appearance here:
