Apparently bb8 just asked if he had other pieces of the map.

The script. In the scene before the ships go to Starkiller Base R2 could have woke up when BB8 was showing the map but he didn't.

The writers waited until the very end which is retarded.

But BB8 asked before and nothing happened

J.J. said BB-8 talking to him started his reboot process, which didn't complete until later on. He's a 60+ year old droid at this point.

So that's your answer, unless you think J.J. is using it as a cover in which case the theory is that he woke up because he could feel Rey's force sensitivity when she returned.

The whole idea of R2 going into low power mode because Luke left seemed a little silly.

Luke used the force to wake R2 after he felt Han's death

Luke I guess, maybe he sensed that Han died or that Rey's Force Powers Awakened and turned on R2 with the force so he could be found since shit was hitting the fan.

like the OT, jackshit is explained about the back workings of the plot. So who really knows, but that is the 'logically' explanation.

R2 thought Luke was back. Turns out his daughter smells just like him.

Why would Luke hide where he was going from his own sister?

Why did they bring bb8 into the bar so they would let the first order know they were there?

Luke

Why would luke hide but leave a map, with parts of the map in the empires archives?

Why did he ditch his friends when they needed him most?
