I'm sure the choice was intentional given that its sunny disposition betrays the fact that it's a piece of military-grade hardware. While it was a cute idea, I'd rather it be more of a "Target acquired. Kill all humans." type of robot.

The movies are supposed to be the stories that R2D2 is telling to the mysterious Whills in the far future. That's why they all start with "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away".

I can't deal with the idea of R2 having long outlived all his old friends with his memories as the only thing left of them.
He's the real Star Wars protagonist.

BB-8's pretty heavy for its small size, apparently. Finn fell over trying to ease it down into the Falcon's maintenance pit because he didn't expect it to weigh so much.

No, Poe describes him as a BB-series and makes sure to mention he's white and orange when talking to Finn. Which means he would have others of the same make like him.

I did not expect BB8 to be nearly as adorable as he turned out to be. Putting the head on the ball and letting it be able to move up and down really added a great level of expressiveness.

Even if they'd found Luke prior to that it's not like that would have stopped the First Order's plan any earlier.

Without a new Jedi to train he'd just tell them to screw off probably. And Rey only ended with the Resistance thanks to the string of events that was the movie.

I'll take a device.

>Can function as a mobile phone that can call across worlds
>It can also do mundane everyday shit like compiling data for a report you need to do or even drive your car for you
>Is a multi-mode weapon
>Have a loyal as fuck AI that will take the risk of its own destruction if it meant that it will be able to help you fight a strong enemy and win.
>As long as its master still fights, the device will not stop, even if its master is completely battered and is about to collapse anytime, even if the device is completely wrecked, if its master wants to fight, the device will continue supporting its master to the best of its abilities
>When you are feeling down, it will cheer you up in its own way, even if its completely wrecked and it takes everything just to move a single part

BB8 was the only thing good to come out of the movie. everything else was just a redesign of something else and none of its original things were memorable at all.

That's only for the high-end devices. Unless you're -the- little girl or you're high-ranked enough, being a footsoldier in the TSAB entails having what amounts to a talking rifle.

Granted you can probably make small talk to it, but it's not going to roll off your bedside and into the nearest TSAB lab and ask for LOAD CARTRIDGE upgrades.

Alternatively, you can hop over into the Innocent spinoff where your likelihood of getting a special snowflake device is much higher (since it, being, well, card games in virtual reality).

Still cyborgs. All tech of the Imperium that would benefit from an AI is actually wired to human meat, since apparently AI are easily corrupted or manipulated by Chaos.

Well he did go with Rey in the end while BB-8 stayed with his not dead original master.

Of course R2 might end up sticking with Luke above all.

Some devices don't even trace their origins to professional device mechanics.
Bardiche was made by Linith, a goddamn familiar.
Asteion is made by Hayate, Agito, and Rein.
Lutecia, a fucking teenage girl, built Brunzel for Corona.

And then there's Raising Heart, whose origins is a complete mystery.
