If you've seen Star Wars The Force Awakens you've no doubt fallen in love with everyone's new favorite droid BB-8 (and if not, what's wrong with you?) Well now thanks to builder DanSto you can build your very own BB-8! He's made a video of a step by step instructions, so break out the bricks, limber up your pause finger and get building.

The Droids I'm Looking For(ward To)

Yesterday was Force Friday, and while my current budget doesn't support a Star Wars shopping spree, it was certainly fun to see such a rush of Star Wars activity all around the interwebs, including Flickr. And while I understand that these droids by Umamen aren't the droids you're looking for, they're for sale if you want them, and you should move along.

BB-8

Star Wars fever is reaching a fever pitch, and we've still got some 8 months before Episode 7 comes out. I was at Star Wars Celebration and the excitement is infectious. The panel with JJ and Kathleen was already pretty awesome, but everyone lost it when this little guy rolled out. It seems everyone's favorite astromech R2-D2 has some competition as far as adorability goes, because BB-8 is crazy popular already. Builder Legomichiiiiii is so smitten he built him in brick, and the results are pretty amazing.
