Am i the only one who thinks this shit looks fucking retarded?
>>62755864
It seems preety cool looking to me.
It's just made so the Reddit retards find it cute and le adorable XDDDD.
>>62755864
Makes more sense in the desert than the old droids.
>>62755919
Its not cute though. Its the droid equivalent of jar jar. JJ is a moron if he thinks a baseball droid with a head is a good idea
>>62755919
>Reddit retards
>not children that will beg their parents to get some them sort of robotball merchandising for christmas
BB a cute.
Also the story behind it is pretty cool. It's the original design idea for R2-D2 from the first movie, and they had to push the development of a new technology to get it to work in real life. JJ pushed for it because he wanted the actors to have the physical character to interact with on set instead of a cgi standin.
>>62755864
It looks ridiculous, but its practical and makes sense. Like the robots in Interstellar.
>>62755864
>fucking retarded
If it's so dumb, why did I spend £130 on a robot version of it?
What's the difference between this and R2D2? This just another droid with a similar design and it's reminiscent of a soccer ball which is the most popular sport in the world.
>>62755864
Honestly I don't see the appeal, it's just a football.
>>62756008
>but its practical and makes sense
No, it isn't, retard.
This crap wouldn't be able to climb some stairs.
>>62756057
>What's the difference
It will be cute and quirky XD
>>62756057
>soccerball droid
fucking cancer
>>62756099

what an insightful critique

>either gets stuck or fucks the Droid up
Also stairs
>>62755864
>Hurrr i have to have grimdark like my vidya, everything else is gay
Fuck I hate 20-something year old faggots
>>62756057
R2D2 looked like a space robot not a fucking soccer ball
>>62756071
If you haven't noticed it's on a desert planet.
>>62755864
Well the rolling ball is mechanically cool and it looks close to something mcquarrie might design
I think it needs a different head shape though, something that's not a half-sphere so it stands out against the ball body.
>>62756048
>2011
>>62756102
It's actually quite clever from a marketing point of view. This is a movie that is intended for a global market.
>>62756153
>there are no stairs or any obstacle with any sort of elevation in a desert planet
Are you fucking retarded or something?
Don't the manufacturers in that galaxy understand that robotos like that would be kicked around constantly?
I see it, and can't help but feeling an urge of kicking that shit out of orbit.
>>62755919
Stop mentioning reddit.
>>62755864
if they make it look like a soccer ball they'll get more international ticket sales
>>62756193
Fuck off, Reddit.
>>62756206
reddit my dick, you reddit reddit.
>>62755864
Dumbest droid design of all time.
Zero traction indoors or out, and any material that collects on the body of the droid as it rotates would get trapped between the body and the head.
>>62756200
>>62756171
This is stupid as fuck. I like pizza but a pizza droid would be awful
>>62756071
>>62756182
R2 couldn't climb stairs either, in the prequels they gave him some booster but it was impractical. Maybe in the movie BB will have something that makes him jump,
I like that they went through the trouble of building an actual robot but good god i hate the way it fucking looks.
>>62756071
It can bounce up the stairs.
>>62756182
Did R2-D2 ever go up stairs?
>>62755864
BB-8 is cute as fuck :]
>>62756226
If Pizza were the number 1 most popular food in the world and if it generated billions of dollars and if it had wordwide fans and a huge following, they too would probably add it somehow,
>>62755864
Yep.
>>62756237
>R2 couldn't climb stairs
>We literally see him climbing stairs using his third wheel as Anakin is carrying panda bears luggage
>>62756135
I'm not one of those but still find this droid unappealing and lacking. It's like someone had an idea to use gyroscopes and then that was all that mattered, rather than making it look interesting.
>>62756133
>>62756182
>>62756071
>goes beep boop
>some shit comes out of the ball that makes it able to go up stairs
Not that hard.
>>62755864
No, but I'm sure kids and manchildren will love it.
>>62755864
>ugliest actors he could possible find
>bland landscapes
>ugly cringe worthy droids
Does JJ not realize hes setting this movie up for failure?
>>62755864
No, it looks fucking dumb as hell.
I like it, it makes me laugh how hard people who dislike it will exaggerate their hate like it's objectively the worst most ugly design ever. It's fine. It's no different to R2D2. It rolls around, swivels its head and beeps at people. And its head is just a cuter version of R2 what with that big eye. It's not that objectionable at all, and if you think it is, you really need to start questioning why you like and dislike the things you do.
the new commercial confirms the spoiler about it having giant arms all rolled upside its ball
>>62756292
I'm pretty sure pizza consumption worldwide generates billions of dollars. Maybe even daily.
>>62756323
It shows it going down stairs in the latest TV spot, not up stairs though...
I wholly agree with you OP
I hope they don't take this sort of thing too far
>>62756356
>its no different from r2d2
R2D2 wasnt a fucking soccer ball
It's like an R2 that can logically move around the world without the use of retarded jet boosters.
>>62756071
Forget stairs, with a ball that smooth he'd have trouble climbing sand dunes he's supposedly designed for
>>62755864
How does this thing even fucking work?!
>>62756344
>BB8 toys selling like hotcakes before the movie is even out
Okay.
After the Japanese TV spot, it is confirm Jar-Jar 2. It even speaks like an annoying retard.
>>62756413
R2 could move around the world without the use of those retarded boosters. He only had trouble with jungle, which is still pretty remarkable for a droid designed to traverse smooth starship corridors.
>>62756401
No R2D2 was a fucking trash can, 3PO was gold gay robot, Chewbacca was mandog, and Vader was a space samurai. All of the design are a bit silly, only autists make a big deal out of this shit.
>>62755864
these are movies for children, wtf did u expect ?
>>62756315
>Anakin is carrying panda bears luggage
wot
>>62755864
The jar jar of the sequels
BB-8 is cute. Cute!
Looks fine albeit useless.
>>62756596
>The jar jar of the sequels
It's the R2-D2.
BB-8 isn't even capable of half the obnoxious shit Jar Jar did.
>>62756610

Gotta appeal to huehues and yuropoors

>>62756237
they made a point to show him going down stairs in the original Star Wars.
fucking casuals

>>62756832
He doesn't actually go down the stairs in that shot, he just swivels about.
>>62755919
Goddamn youre a fucking idiot
Your brain cannot even process a thought without thinking of reddit or memes
Go outside you freak
>>62755864
hhnnngggg
Originally R2-D2 was planned to be a droid on a ball.
I was concerned about the logistics until I found out it's not a CGI droid but an actual, real thing they built. Now I'm just fucking impressed.
I dunno. It's no Artoo but I think it's cute.
>>62756827

i'm not defending that either, it was shit
