Just want to talk about how wonderful bb-8 and Poe were in the movie
The rest of the cast was great too but these were my stand outs
Poe added some heart into the resistance and also was pretty much how I always imagined wedge to be. It's nice to see the hotshot pilot given love in the movie
And bb-8 just made me smile in every scene and after watching the movie, everytime I think of that little droid I like it more
He's like the inverse jar jar
I agree completely, those two were my favorite new characters from TFA. I had toyed with the idea of painting one of my T-70s black and orange, but after watching it... There's no question it will happen.
Poe needed more sceentime.
Love BB-8 but what type of droid is he??? Not much of an Astromech considering lack of repair work on multiple ships.
I was disappointed they split Poe and Finn up for most of the film. Lots of opportunities there for back and forth banter between the two (and a potential rivalry over Rey's attention).
But no, Poe vanishes on Jakku, then somehow manages to make it back to the Resistance on his own with no explanation...
I really think I would have preferred them dropping the entire DeathPlanetMcSuperWeapon sub plot (because it was a sub plot, not the main focus of the movie) in preference to building up the relationships between the new main characters and the search for Luke.

Poe claimed that BB-8 was a BB unit that was one of a kind.
Is it possible that BB is a prototype?

Based off the fact that JJ Abrams thought up the droid as a new model of R2 and the fact the Imperials knew them as a BB unit I have to guess that BB units are an alternative astromech option over the more standard R-series astromechs we have come to love.
I believe that BB units exist, and BB-8 is just one type. Perhaps the only Orange and White version. Also the rebels seem to recruit all the droids with personality. Imperial droids are so boring.
Looking for an orange and white BB unit is probably like looking for a yellow Honda Civic, it's a common model but unusual color.
We will probably see a lot more BB units in the next movies. I doubt he is any kind of prototype. If the T-70 is not the most advanced x-wing (T-85s appear to exist) and BB fits, the. BB isn't cutting edge of particularly brand new.
Imperial droids are so boring.
Oh come on! That's harsh. You'll upset MSE-6!
MSE-6 (or it's upgrade) was also visible in Ep 7.

I just painted mine today.
And BB-8 was fabulous. If only R5-P9 didn't make Poe so much more durable...
