5. BD-1's Noises

In many ways, BD-1 steals the show in Fallen Order. He's loveable, resourceful and the perfect companion, and potentially even able to stake a claim to being Star Wars' cutest droid. (Look, it's between him and BB-8 - you try choosing which one's cuter.)

Anyway, one thing fans may not realise is that BD-1's beeps and boops came from Ben Burt, aka the man who created R2 D2's sounds in the Original Trilogy. Burt is responsible for creating many of Star Wars' most iconic noises, including the screaming of the Imperial TIE Fighter, and the unique "bvshhhhh" generated when a lightsaber gets flicked on.

It's great to see his involvement, and really, when creating a new droid for Star Wars, things don't get much more official than having the original R2 noise-maker voicing it.
