30 Greatest Star Wars Characters
11. BB-8
Despite the ostensibly controversial nature of the Sequel Trilogy, one thing that absolutely is universally adored is BB-8.
The droid, introduced in The Force Awakens as Poe Dameron's closest companion, is a spherical astromech who can do pretty much everything. Need a cute noise on command? BB-8's got you. Need a droid that can repair a starfighter on the fly? Of course he's there. Heck, BB-8 can even control a First Order walker and rain fiery death on the enemies below, given the right situation.
It's probably a little too soon to proclaim BB-8 as having usurped R2's crown, but if he keeps this up, he must be on track to.
