BB-8 is more than just a spherical astromech droid, he is a trusty Resistance agent, as well as the loyal and enthusiastic helper of pilot Poe Dameron. BB-8 would face any danger to stay close to his companion. Agile and particularly fast, BB-8 always tries to go unnoticed, as his self-preservation protocols require.
Rolling for Freedom: BB-8 controls his body - made of six circular tool-bay disks - through wireless telemetry. An internal orbiculate motivator rolls it, while magnetic casters keep his head still. BB-8's language is a new-generation variant of the common astromech language.
Essential Helpers: Astromech droids provide onboard flight support to the Resistance forces. They carry out a variety of mechanical repair and power control tasks, but they can also accompany starfighters as co-pilots.
A New Friend: Running away from the stormtroopers, BB-8 gets caught by a Teedo scavenger. The alien creature wants the droid for his parts, but luckily, Rey isn't far away: she hears BB-8's call for help and comes to his rescue.
