BB-8 stole just about every scene he was in during The Force Awakens, and the big question was whether or not The Last Jedi could repeat the trick. The answer is an unequivocal yes.

Rian Johnson described him as his movie's Buster Keaton, and all of that comedy comes spilling out in spades. It doesn't just repeat the same beats from Episode VII, but has plenty of new ways of using the character instead. He's hilarious, but there's also a huge amount of heart to him as well, a few brilliant surprises, and he proves himself every bit as resourceful as R2-D2 was in the originals.
