Star Wars video puts BB-8 and porgs together and the cuteness burns
Watch Next

We already knew that porgs are basically the puffins of the Star Wars universe (and possible Wookiee food). The adorable creatures are likely to be our favorite thing about the upcoming Lucasfilm blockbuster The Last Jedi.

But what happens when you pit the new cute creatures against BB-8, everyone's favorite droid character introduced in the last Star Wars film, The Force Awakens?

You get so much "OMG THIS IS SO CUTE" that it threatens to rip a hole in hyperspace, turning the universe inside-out into a Star Wars-themed Lisa Frank trapper keeper.

The latest Star Wars blip -- an ongoing series of 45ish second animated shorts -- shows what happens when our favorite ball droid tangles with the curious natives of the planet Ahch-To.

Spoiler alert: Hilarity ensues.
