Tag: The Force Awakens

BB-8 the little rolling droid from Star Wars: The Force Awakens has proven to be very popular. He’s no R2-D2 in my mind, but he is cool nonetheless. We have seen plenty of BB-8 themed stuff since the flick hit theaters like that cool BB-8 tea set and the BB-8 waffle iron. 

Growing up I was really into vinyl records that had images on them. They were called picture discs if memory serves, and I had a bunch of them with soundtracks from different Disney movies on them.

If you’re a Star Wars fan who attends conventions, you’ve probably seen Roxy The Rancor. Maybe you even had your picture taken with her. Well, now Roxy has some competition for your photo ops. Roxy’s creators Rick Boehler and Erik Hollander are working on a replica of the Luggabeast from The Force Awakens.

When you unnecessarily censor something, everything sounds dirty. So naturally, it makes everything better. That’s why Baltimore digital director Kyle J. Britt has created an unnecessarily censored version of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It’s no longer an innocent movie, but a foul-mouthed and lewd space adventure.

I already thought that Sphero BB-8 toy was pretty awesome. I even had a hex put on our fearless leader when he refused to rig the drawing so I could win the toy a few months back.

And now for the coolest Star Wars: The Force Awakens LEGO diorama we have seen so far… This huge diorama depicts the junkyard settlement Niima Outpost on Jakku in LEGO form. This amazing display was made by Wookieewarrior – probably as a way to show off that huge Millennium Falcon model.

I’m kind of mad that The Force Awakens downplayed my favorite droids and gave BB-8 the majority of screen time. Not that BB-8 isn’t cool, but the little soccer ball is no R2-D2, if you ask me.

I’m trying to keep my expectations in check when it comes to Star Wars: The Force Awakens. After the disappointment of the last three films, I don’t have my hopes up for the new installment. At least this time out there aren’t any annoying new CGI characters, at least that the previews have showed.

The new Star Wars movie isn’t even out yet, but one droid has rolled into our hearts, despite a stupid name that likely stands for Bouncy Ball Eight. Still, you have to love this little guy.

Christian Poulsen liked the BB-8 droid from Star Wars: The Force Awakens so much that he decided to make his own. He actually made the droid you see here in less than a day, which is why the surfacing and paint is not perfect.

Remember that lovable rolly-polly droid that rolled into our hearts during its brief appearance in the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer? Of course you do. It was only a few days ago. Disney certainly wasted no time Disney-fying our favorite sci-fi property.
