Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Pre-release) (Spoilers)

Soo... In regards to the sphero BB8...

What happened to the promised "updates as the movie draws closer that reveal more about BB8 and the movie."???

They are probably frozen until the next trailer and product line release. They confirmed that functionality was dictated by LucasFilm and they were limited in what they were allowed to initially due. JJ's mystery box again.
 
I'm waiting to find out how far down those shuttle wings go.

I have yet to see any of the toys/models with them in any position but up

If they have a cool flying position then the new designs will be "passable" imho.

I've got my fingers crossed. If they fly like that it doesn't make much sense. They're of no use in space and positioned vertically, not much use in atmosphere.

the only thing we really found out anout bb8 since celebration 7 is, the BB8 we see roll out on stage is not used in the movie and built only for the stage presentation. i was alittle disappointed hearing that, but you cant have everything. we have heard there are allot of different BB8s made for ep7. one made for dropping/ being thrown and sitting straight up after its thrown, and multiple puppet versions, theres a good picture of rey untangling him from a net from some alien riding a dinosaur, you can see the controls all wrapped in green screen along with the puppeteer

im so excited to learn more about him, over on astromech we have a picture of oliver working on R2 and in the background you can see the spheres, theres also a great back stage photo of cel7 where they are reaching inside his body doing things

thats all we have really found out so far
 
B Wings possibly in TFA?

I think he was talking about the sphero toy BB8, not the film droid.

Brilliant,.....eventually the B-Wing gets some attention,....with this & the next series of the cartoon,....making up for its time on the cutting room floor

B-Wings are in Rebels Season 2, I think that's what this is.

Na, this isn't a B-Wing as we know it,...its evolved, like the new X-wings,....also as the link says & as gizmo pointed out, the characters are Leia, Akbar, & Resistance troops,...all in TFA costumes

Gotcha, it's hard for me to see what the figures are wearing.

I already love that design! Looks like a B-wing transport, seeing as it has a sort of ramp in the middle. No matter what it is, it looks 100% Star Wars!
 
So nice to see that the X-Wing isn't going to be the only resistance star fighter in service. Although I'm going to miss the 't' shape of the classic B-Wing.
