Star Wars·New Republic·fictional robot in the Star Wars universe
BB-8 is a BB-series astromech droid in the Star Wars universe, distinguished by his free-rolling spherical body and independently moving dome head. Built in 29 ABY and finished mostly in white with silver and orange plating, he became the loyal companion of Resistance pilot Poe Dameron.
BB-8 accompanied Poe aboard his T-70 X-wing starfighter through service with the New Republic and later the Resistance, taking part in operations against the First Order alongside units such as Black Squadron. Resourceful and courageous, he employed tools including an electro-pod and a retractable cable to aid his allies.
BB-8 features prominently in the Star Wars sequel trilogy and the animated series Star Wars Resistance, and is among the era's most recognizable droids. Chronological detail is provided in the Timeline. Text available under CC BY-SA.
