Apparently because there are protected puffins all over the island and they weren't allowed to relocate them to film. So they basically just put porgs on top of them.

That's awesome if true

Well, according to stand-in reviewer on wittertainment (Robbie Collin IIRC) who is a former puppeteer and knows the guy who worked on the last Jedi, they're actually puppets and not CGI

It seems they used puppets for the shots where they were deliberately filming the porgs (like in the falcon's cockpit ) but CGI for where they were all over the island.

That makes sense.

Hello to Jason Isaacs..

Wittertainment is the vernacular for Simon Mayo and Mark Kermode's film review show which usually airs every Friday on Radio 5 Live. They've been doing it for donkey's ears so have a lot of in-jokes. Mark Kermode went to school with Jason Isaacs and they're still friends. He gets a shout out pretty much every show and calls in unexpectedly several times a year. The shout out has become a trope/meme and many correspondents to the show put it in their emails, people say it to him in the street and listeners of the show reportedly say it to each other on first meeting. It's got so prevalent that shout outs to Jason Isaacs have happened at the Baftas, The Golden Globes, on the tube by station announcers, on flights by the pilot. You get the idea.

This is an interesting thread, I didn't notice any of these consciously when I saw it but they are pretty good.

The Last Jedi has some of my favorite camerawork in the entire saga, but this shot is my underrated favorite (mostly because of Captain Canady) pic.twitter.com/3gi2ycEewT

Choreographer: "but sir, as cool as it may look, if the red guard has two knives he could just stab Rey in the back"

Director: We'll just edit one out half way through the move, no one will notice.

Having not seen the film until tonight and only just reading this thread, you will not be surprised to know this is exactly what I shouted.

I fell asleep for a bit when Luke was banging on about Ben and woke up and Yoda had appeared

It was pretty good
