PORG INVASION

Via Starwars.com:

SENIOR PRODUCER HANA LEE TALKS TO STARWARS.COM ABOUT THE PORGTASTIC NEW GAME.

“I really feel like I was born to make this game,” says Hana Lee, senior producer on Star Wars: The Last Jedi — Porg Invasion. In fact, she adds, “I was actually born on May the Fourth, Star Wars Day.”

When Lee and her team first saw behind-the-scenes footage of a porg on StarWars.com, she knew the creatures were the perfect fit for a fun, standalone Facebook game. “It goes without saying that porgs are just really adorable,” she says. “And even months before the movie came out, you could see porgs everywhere, on mugs and T-shirts and stuffed animals, so it was pretty natural for us to say, ‘Hey, why don’t we bring the porgs to life in a video-game format?’ And our leadership was so open and great in supporting us and saying, ‘Yeah, you know what? Have fun with it!’” In about nine weeks, the team went from concepting the game and drawing up a design document to testing and polishing the finished product. “It was a very fun and exciting process.”
