Looking at her Speeder, It would have been funny if it were a converted Land Speeder turned on it's side.

I don't know if I'd feel safe straddling those engines like that.

 

[mvanwalks421]

It may be a converted land speeder.....or it could be just be the prop department trying to make everything feel like the OT in a fresh but familiar way.

I'll just put this here, and then back away....slowly.

Just listening to Kevin Smith - Hollywood Babbleon... he was saying when he was on set BB-8 was there and the "controller" was a puppeteer... done with bars and wires.

"I talked to the puppeteer... who controls BB-8. Now this I was like 'really? puppeteer?'. Like you look in that trailer and you're like 'ohhh here comes a ****ing CG...'... It's a puppet. It's a dude with bars and ****. And he's like 'generally it's not even 'we've gotta green screen the bars out'... it's like we're just trying to make it tactile'"

Iirc, I remember a rumor a few weeks back about bb-8 being two hemispheres and two wheels with the head of the unit on a weighted ball in the middle. So you would only see it from the side as complete but when you look at it in the front it looks like (l8l). Granted the head is higher and the lower balance ball was smaller.

Exactly one year until the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

People are going to rejoice and enjoy it.

People are going to moan and denounce it.

History will be made either way.
