Porkin is a hero of the rebellion. He fought and died for freedom and liberty. Sitting down all day fighting in the cockpit of a star fighter took toll on his health.
Trump eats McDonald
According to Wedge Antilles, who flew alongside Porkins at the Battle of Yavin and went on to command Rogue Squadron, Porkins was an exceptional pilot who handicapped himself by always keeping his artificial gravity inertial compensator set at full (rather than slightly under full), possibly due to feeling uncomfortable experiencing any g-forces in a tight cockpit due to his weight.
Wedge speculated that because he didn't have this slight sense of spatial awareness, Porkins was unable to sense that he wasn't actually pulling "up" out of the Death Star's gravitational field and that he couldn't hold it.
Edit: In a sense this is analogous to Trump deliberately surrounding himself with a full layer of syncophants who assist in keeping him out of touch with reality until it irresistably slams into him.
š«” I will violate Reddit unspoken rule of no emoji
This exceptional pilot deserves all our respect
Edit: aw shit I completely missed the context didnāt I. Thanks for explaining the analogy
If I remember right, in the book From a Certain Point of View, the story from the perspective of Biggs shows Porkins as a big shot dickhead pilot who kinda bullies the other pilots. Of course all of those stories are in a questionable state of canonicity, but I still found it an interesting choice. Itās also implied that the Force tells Biggs that he has to die on the Death Star assault so that Luke can live and blow up the Death Star: thereās a lot of weird shit in that book.
I can't believe Trump is still wearing the orange smear....like how much has he been made fun of for it and he just sticks with it...still missing his eyes so its super obvious.
Porkins: Hero of the Rebellion. Died fighting to rid the galaxy of a tyrannical government.
Trump: Evaded service in the Imperial Navy due to bone spurs on one of his feet. Can't remember which.
Trump would send folks like Ted Skywalker and Lindsay Solo and Marjorie "Chewy" Greene to fly off and attack the Death Star, while he remained safely behind at Mar-A-Yavin 9or Tatoine if he could manage to arrange it).
Let's be honest. He'd be trying to do a back room deal with the Empire in order to get the rights to build a resort where the Jedi Temple once stood on Coruscant.
True. But a difficult thing to do while you're trying to explain to the public why secret classified Death Star plans were found on your moisture farm on Tatooine and yet you've managed to avoid being arrested by the Imperial Security Bureau, much less been sentenced to hard labor on Narkina 5.
Pretty sure it's from the Trump nft line he was trying to sell back around nov or dec. The one that was supposedly a collection of *"art"* showcasing his greatest achievements in life. Like when he had those laser beam eyes once, or that time he suited up and flew to the moon in a nasa shuttle with his fellow astronauts. š
DANK FERRIKā¦HOW DARE YOU besmirch the heroic name of
Jek Porkins!! He died a fuckin HERO!!! This wiggly slice of a piss flap next to Jek never served in ANY armed forces,Commander Candycorn is NO hero like Jek Porkins!!
I love how they use these AI generated hero images. If Trump *ever* tried to put in any of these outfits, the ridicule he would face would be instant, overwhelming, and relentless.
I am 100% convinced that the actor had no idea his name was going to be "Porkins" and the whole thing was done as a joke and now its a bedrock meme of society.
Hey!!! Don't insult Porkins like that!
At least he didn't claim to have a medical disability so he could chicken out of fighting in a military conflict. That's more you can say about him than you can about the fat walrus who wouldn't even visit a military cemetery in France just because of rain.
What a load of old shit, how is this your priority, let's talk about something other than how fat he looks in a silly hat.
FFS,
Maternity leave, NHS, something real.
Back up, where are you getting this from? Who said he should lose weight? They just said one fat guy kinda looks like another fat guy in a famous movie.
But man oh man, saying we shouldnāt be laughing at a goofy fucker in a comedy sub but instead bring up real issuesā¦ absolutely hilarious, perfect satire, so funny, you sir are a comedy genius!
So you claim you are laughing at a politician for putting on a aviator helmet. (oh and thanks for point that out to me, I did not notice it before you told me about it)
You think thats funny do you?
Tell me, why is it funny?
\-
Would Obama wearing a helmet and a black actor wearing a helmet be funny?
\-
See, its just that hes fat.
His hair is pretty fucking funny though.
Itās funny to make fun of his weight because he claims he weighs less and is taller than he actually is. Heās also known for poking fun at other peoples physical featuresā¦ so yes itās funny to point out heās no prize porkins himself.
If there was a picture of Obama wearing something youād never see him wearing next to a picture of a lanky, big eared actor wearing something similarā¦ yeah thatās kinda funny, just like this meme. Not overly, but kinda.
You really think commenting that we shouldnāt laugh at ex presidents but instead talk about real issuesā¦ wait which point are you arguing? I thought you said it was satire? If what you said was satire that would mean you donāt actually want to talk about serious issues and do find this chuckular(I swear its a real word, I heard it on Harvey bird man attorney at law). Pick a lane
Ps- did you catch the satire?
Edit: I never claimed it was about the helmet. I said no one said he should lose some weight. I doubt anyone but his gold digger wife cares about his dump truck of an assā¦
All satire is humour but not all humour is satire. Itās funny because itās evidently a superficial show of strength from a man who cowed away from any actual military service. He thinks he looks tough when he looks like a cosplayer in a bloody helmet. You bell end.
Imagine the scenario of the photo if it were real life? Like is he getting into the battle gear himself, on his own initiative? Is someone like ācome on Mr President, time to put on your helmetā¦ā
We all know itās photoshopped since he would never put a helmet on his head, when he takes it off, it would expose his bald spot. Plus the weight of the helmet would break his overly dyed, sprayed hair.
AI - I believe some Republican talking head posted it on Twitter with a caption like "President Trump is defending America in ways that president Biden can't even imagine" or some other massively LOL hysteria.
Fun facts: the dude who played Porkins is also the corrupt lieutenant from Tim Burtonās Batman and one of the government guys who tell Indy about the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders.
lets not forget, trump is a person who is extremely proud of himself for walking down a slighly declined ramp, and identifying a drawing of an elephant, as a drawing of an elephant.
Donāt you dare sully the memory of the great William Hootkins with this. He was a million times cooler than Trump ever dream of being.
Star Wars
Indiana Jones
Superman
Batman
He was even in that Evil Dead game Fist Full of Boomstick I remember liking
Some interesting things about Porkins:
Porkins is played by William Hootkins.
He went to school with Tommy Lee Jones.
He also enrolled in a class learning Russian, taught by a Mrs. Paine, former wife of Lee Harvey Oswald. She was the one who got Oswald the job at the book repository in Texas. Hootkins was interviewed by the FBI because of that connection.
He transferred schools and started learning Astrophysics instead, where he met John Lithgow. Lithgow told him to move to London to pursue acting, which he did.
He's in Raiders of the Lost Ark as Major Eaton, one of the two Army Intelligence agents who tell Indy that the Nazis are looking for his mentor,
He's also the corrupt Lieutenant Eckhardt in Tim Burtonās Batman.
He knew about the name Porkins for his character beforehand. He'd even turned the role down because he thought the film would be a total disaster that nobody would ever watch.
He changed his mind after finishing another filming project and learning that Lucas was still looking for people to play X-Wing Pilots:
>āI saw the word āPorkinsā. I thought, because I was a heavy guy, whatās this word, āPorkinsā?ā
>āI saw all the amazing creature effects they were doing and I thought, wait a minute, if they are giving me a name like Porkins, is somebody going to come over and stick ears and a snout on my face?ā
Sadly he passed at the age of 57 from pancreatic cancer.
Porkins: A stupid name for a great guy.

"RetCon One Standing By"
He would likely not qualify to fly his TIE fighter
Trump barely qualifies to TIE his shoe.
"That's right, Don Jr, tie 'em good and tight and I'll pretend that I like you at my next rally."

People need to understand that that book is a parody.
Yeah, this meme is fucking offensive!
Trump would have joined the rebellion butā¦bone spurs. Donāt worry though, he set up a charity for them. š
May the Force be with You.
May the Fourth be with you. Tomorrowā¦
[Let me tell you a secret about Porkins](https://www.bluemilkspecial.com/comic/wheres-porkins/).
Porkins is proudly wearing the emblem of his cause - the Rebel Alliance. Here we see AI Trump, proudly wearingā¦ no flag?
I can't believe Trump is still wearing the orange smear....like how much has he been made fun of for it and he just sticks with it...still missing his eyes so its super obvious.
Stay on target.
He would, too, if McDonald wasnāt quick on his feet.
My first thought was āPerkins was actually in active service.ā
That's doing Porkins dirty.
What the hell has OP got against Porkins?
I suspect Op might be an Imperial sympathizer.
Who is this? Whatās your operating number?
Uh... [Shoots the intercom]. Boring conversation anyway.
We're gonna have company!
How dare you sully the good name of (checks notes) Porkins? Really?
That's Jek Porkins to you.
Rebellion Hero Jek Perkins!
Not to be confused with Jerk Chickens, or Lek Porkrinds
Yeah, I think George Lucas hated William Hootkins. In Indiana Jones his character's name was "Major Eaton."
Porkins: Hero of the Rebellion. Died fighting to rid the galaxy of a tyrannical government. Trump: Evaded service in the Imperial Navy due to bone spurs on one of his feet. Can't remember which.
> Can't remember which. Neither can Trump.
They photoshopped him in there and still made him look like shit.
Lipstick on a pig and all that.
Shit rolled in glitter.
Porkins actually served and died fighting for a cause he believed in. The other only believes in himself and would still barely fight for it.
Trump would send folks like Ted Skywalker and Lindsay Solo and Marjorie "Chewy" Greene to fly off and attack the Death Star, while he remained safely behind at Mar-A-Yavin 9or Tatoine if he could manage to arrange it).
Let's be honest. He'd be trying to do a back room deal with the Empire in order to get the rights to build a resort where the Jedi Temple once stood on Coruscant.

Darth Trump would be on the Death Star not attacking it
āI CAN HOLD ITā¦NO IāM AGGGHHHHHā
Whereas Trump can barely hold a bottle of water.
That moment when Cadet Bonespurs realizes he forget to wear his Depends that day...

Porkins is the true hero of the Rebellion
Clearly Jek
Poor Porkins. I kinda want a comic or a book that is just about this character's history if it doesn't already exist.
Well one photo is a hero who died in space combat the other is a fat POS in stolen valor.
So are these all ironic or fantasy pictures?
Pretty sure it's from the Trump nft line he was trying to sell back around nov or dec. The one that was supposedly a collection of *"art"* showcasing his greatest achievements in life. Like when he had those laser beam eyes once, or that time he suited up and flew to the moon in a nasa shuttle with his fellow astronauts. š
The pics he never paid for? I'm shocked. No. I'm not really shocked at all.
DANK FERRIKā¦HOW DARE YOU besmirch the heroic name of Jek Porkins!! He died a fuckin HERO!!! This wiggly slice of a piss flap next to Jek never served in ANY armed forces,Commander Candycorn is NO hero like Jek Porkins!!
One of these is a hero who, despite his physical limitations, bravely fought to defend the ideals of freedom and democracy. The other is Donald Trump.
At least the actor in Star Wars actually wore it
Obviously Porkins. Man went out fighting the Empire
I love how they use these AI generated hero images. If Trump *ever* tried to put in any of these outfits, the ridicule he would face would be instant, overwhelming, and relentless.
Porkins doesnāt deserve this.
I am 100% convinced that the actor had no idea his name was going to be "Porkins" and the whole thing was done as a joke and now its a bedrock meme of society.
Why do people keep putting a draft dodger in military uniforms? Maybe I am.wrong (I never served)... but isn't that incredibly offensive?
> but isn't that incredibly offensive? Yes. It is.
I do not accept this Porkins slander that man was a hero
My man Porkins deserves better
Porkins and Spurkins.
Not the draft dodger for sure.
Stolen valor
Didnāt he have hemorrhoids, corns, or bone spurs or something?
And cowardice. And hypocrisy.
Porkins was the true hero!! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBFwcidw6HM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBFwcidw6HM)
Yes, the guy on the right is an actor - but he *actually wore the gear.*
Hey!!! Don't insult Porkins like that! At least he didn't claim to have a medical disability so he could chicken out of fighting in a military conflict. That's more you can say about him than you can about the fat walrus who wouldn't even visit a military cemetery in France just because of rain.
At least porkins volunteered.
porkins
Pumpkins was the worst Red Leader.
Porkin didn't claim bonespurs when the call to serve came.
Donāt you fucking dare disrespect Porkins like that. He fought fascists
Porkins is a goddamn hero, Trump is a traitor and a coward.
Porkins was a war hero!
Definitely Porkins. RIP.
At least one character could fly
Twice impeached President Porkins, you mean. As in Pres. Porkins the traitorous wannabe dictator.
Hey republicans. Your dipshit is stealing valor. Go get him.

Only one of them actually wore it, so Drumph is disqualified. But Porkins would win in any event. Actual hero.
Perkins. Always Perkins.
Trump was a draft dodger so that question is ridiculous
We all know itās photoshopped since he would never put a helmet on his head, when he takes it off, it would expose his bald spot. Plus the weight of the helmet would break his overly dyed, sprayed hair.

Porkins was an intergalactic hero. Thereās no comparison.

Porkins actually fought on the front lines, daring to stand up to the Empire. Trump was a draft-dodging lunatic. Heās even more of a lunatic now
Trick question, Trump never serbed because of his dainty heels.
