Another missed deadline. I don’t know what’s happening. Sometimes I click Publish and it stalls (like Tuesday’s French comic) and others I just plain forget (like this post). Oh well. Better nate than lever.

BB-8 is Poe Dameron’s plucky droid navigator and companion. He’s entrusted with valuable information by Poe shortly before Poe gets captured by the First Order. The second great droid chase of the Saga is on! Where R2-D2’s vocals were said to be inspired by babies talking, BB-8 takes it to a new level and he’s adorable. I fully expected to roll my eyes at this gimmicky droid character, but I really like him. He’s supplanted both R2 and 3PO as my favorite droid character from the movies, though I still like Chopper from Rebels a great deal.

When I was first laying out this theme, I didn’t think I’d be able to include BB-8. His design is so unconventional I didn’t know how I could do something with it. But as I was finishing up with Skitter, I couldn’t think of another character to feature. I was already plumbing the depths with Ackbar (who I love but really he’s such an incidental character in the movie). I then came up with this idea for BB-8 and I think it’s my favorite.

BB-8

That’s all for this week and this theme. Next week, something new. Come back to see the reveal. I’ll try to post it on time.
