American flag on bb8.
America fuck yeah!
I think that the ball is just there, and the entire driving mechanism is inside of the head on top; that top part rolls the ball underneath it to move. It seems the most straight forward way to do it
I assumed bb was cgi. It makes me happy to know heās not.
Maybe, I think that makes sense but (Iām watching the video again because figuring out how this thing works has taken my attention for the day) the ball moves independently of the head a couple of times around ~1:28. It could be the wheels on the head doing some magic underneath.
Actually that may be more evidence to only the head having a brain. Can you make a sphere turn on its axis from the inside? I bet thereās a way but I canāt think of it right now lol
BB-8 has got to be two independent motor units with at least one of them with some type of gyroscopic device. Magnets may be the way it achieves the free flowing while detached movement. Iād love to see how it was made.
Thatās what makes practical effects better than cg when done well. Nothing wrong with cg, but it doesnāt make you go āhow df did they do thatā the way practical effects do.
yeah looks perhaps stabilized in part by gyroscope/sensor/motor like those segways. The BB88 head is like the person in a seqway which shits the weight and the system can move to stabilize. That is my guess.
I was also amazed this isnt CGI
They need to add this to Disneyland as a walk around droid. R2-D2 appeared a couple of years ago for a few days during Floridaās celebration.
I call bullshit that Chewie didnāt age a single day!
They couldnāt have given him some grey fur in a few places?
mangā¦Iām disappointed.
They have R2-MK around Disneyworld pretty often. I feel like Iāve seen him every time Iāve been there. Itās pretty amazing.
You know wookies live for hundreds of years, right? The whole prequel-original-sequel time span has been a breeze for himā¦
Hopefully in this Chewbacca is hit by a moon as his death.
Thatās a manly ass way to go out.
Wrong story arc lol.
No longer canon.
Dub, nothing anyone likes is canon anymore.
I donāt give a fuck Dash Rendar was real to me. As well as Boba Fett and Vader fighting on a Tekken volcano.
