Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 16 Biggest Revelations From The TV Spots
14. BB-8's Mission Is Classified
Up until the many, many TV spots landed, BB-8's role in the narrative was far from clear. In truth, the little ball droid could have been introduced as no more than a companion droid to Rey and it would still have stolen the film for both younger and older audiences. But the revelation that there is purpose behind those adorable beeps should be music to every fan's ears. Since Star Wars rhymes, it seems inevitable that the rumours about hidden compartments and secret plans might well mirror R2-D2's role in the first trilogy. And the TV spot that confirmed that BB-8's mission is classified seems to add even more evidence.
