If you ain't down with Porkins... You ain't nothin'

PORKINS IS STAR WARS. Without Porkins, the movie just wouldn't be worthwhile. I mean, this guy had flames on his helmet and he even refused to wear his chin strap... Could he be much more of a badass? I think not.

Here are all of Porkins' lines from the movie!

Quote:
"Red Six standing by."

"I'm right with you, Red Three."

"I've got a problem here."

"I can handle it."

"No, I'm all right. Aaaaarrrrrgh!!!
Here's a frame by frame of the mighty Porkins' demise:







Works Cited:

"Porkins, Red-6, the Man..." 12 May 2008 <http://www.geocities.com/athens/acropolis/6774/>.

In conclusion... Jek Porkins is my hero.

Thank you.

Chin straps are for people with chins. . .

Also, he looks like my ex-landlord, who I wouldn't have minded seeing explode in a ball of flame.

I don't see your point... Jek Porkins had at least 3 chins.

I disagree. Much like a circle could be said to have infinite sides as much as it could be said to have no sides at all, so it is with Porkins and his chins. Once you pass double chin, you reach a level of amorphous neck fat and chinlessness. But damn if that fat bastard couldn't fly an X-Wing with the best of 'em.

Did Biggs die during the assault on the Death Star?

...Because I swear I've seen that face while viewing intergalactic pornography.

They just went to the local arcade and told all the nerds they could be real star fighters.
