BD-1, Fallen Order's very own WALL-E-esque droid, will also apparently be customisable come release. The pretender to BB-8's crown has already commenced their charm offensive at E3, and if players are able to make them their own with further alterations, he could end up being yet another beloved Star Wars droid.
Game Informer mention in their report on Fallen Order that BD-1 took over two years to design. Respawn and Lucasfilm are apparently content with allowing players the chance to place their own stamp on Cal's robot companion however, with PC Gamer also mentioning how custom skins for BD can be found littered throughout the game's various levels.
It's a small addition, but it's nice to know that you can tailor your experience in Fallen Order to just the way you like it - even if that means something as simple as having a red droid, or just a plain old blue one instead.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
