If Star Wars’ BB-8 Droid Were Designed By Apple

If Star Wars’ BB-8 Droid Were Designed By Apple

What if BB-8, that cute new spherical droid from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, was made by Apple? That’s what designer/concept artist Martin Hajek asked himself. Thiese images are the answer. This BB-8 was made with extreme attention to detail. The droid would come in silver, gold, and space gray.

It would also feature that iconic glowing Apple logo on the side. Of course it would also cost way more than the competition and you would have to upgrade it every year, but no droid is perfect.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens BB-8 Droid Demo


Everyone thought that the BB-8 droid seen in the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer was CGI, but as it turns out, it is not CGI at all. They proved it during Star Wars Celebration with this live demo. I don’t think anyone saw this coming.

The BB-8 effects are very practical. I still think it looks a bit too “pixar”, but I have to admit, this little droid is growing on me. The real question is, how on Earth did they pull it off? I guess we will find out soon.
