***** My understanding is BB-8 is two robots, the head and the body. This is all guesswork, but I assume the body has a gyroscope system for mobility, and the head has a gyro-orientation sensor and wheels for maintaining balance on the top of the body. For the more advanced actions, I think they use CGI and practical tricks to get BB-8 to perform some of the more acrobatic moves that the physical prop isn't quite capable of.

This is what filmmaking is all about to me, pushing the boundaries of what's possible and coming up with new and creative ways to cast an illusion. I literally shuttered when I heard him talk about their initial plans to make a CGI BB-8, and how disastrous that would've been, you don't have to try and convince me that that thing is really there because it IS actually fucking there. When you make your audience question how you did that, when they genuinely can't see the strings, that's when you've accomplished something.

Love this little droid already. And I do believe they're genuinely creating this film with passion and love. I'm all too sick of the pessimistic critters who like to judge the movies before they've even been released. I'm looking forward to seeing this in the cinema. I'll try to keep my expectations low - although that's hard at this point - and just enjoy whatever there is to be enjoyed about it. Nothing is certain, but I do believe they're doing their best. For this and (presumably) all future Star Wars films, we'll have directors at the helm who started out as fans themselves. That should be reason enough to believe they love the opportunity given to them to direct a Star Wars film and that they will want to get the best out of it. But we'll see... I'm just hoping for the pessimists to be silenced by the results.

@Roper1229 жыл бұрын
***** Nope... no more than Darth Vader has competition. R2 D2 is Star Wars... the whole point was that he would be pivotal in every episode without seeming to be... and yet for this one some genius exec thought " lets make a new droid... the kids will love it " He does nothing that R2 D2 didn't already do.

+Roper122 Either way, BB-8 will still become a lovable droid of the following years to come, next to R2-D2.

***** They've created a problem for themselves... they've tried to replace R2 D2... but they can't do that. So now they have 3 droids that they have to get into every movie

i'm real glad they took the time to research and find out if its possible to make this practical and put it to use. They're obviously learning from experience that, that an all CG movie will be a flop and anger many fans, don't want another Episode 2: Attack on Green Screen again. Super happy with this. Also the toys are pretty good too, the one from Sphero, which is like 120 or 150, can't remember, is real small but works really well. Can't wait to see this movie, gonna be a great December.
