occurred to me it could be a lil droid on top of a ball, sure

MacGyver never needed no gyroscope

Evan, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 23:36 (nine years ago) link

that's what I was thinking, but then how does the droid stay on top like that. I mean it looks like its using it as a method of propulsion, but if it can just float on top of the ball and direct its motion well why have a ball at all

of all the things posted on this thread, people not understanding how something could have a rolling base and relatively stationary top in a robot form made me the most exasperated

It's basically a hipster unicyclist droid.

Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 00:59 (nine years ago) link

Especially in a series full of hovering droids and vehicles which do not appear to be Force-controlled xp

nashwan, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 00:59 (nine years ago) link

haha yes, there is faster than light travel, vehicles and robots that hover around, but one plausible yet impractical balance-on-a-ball thing that looks funny, dunno, man

valleys of your mind (mh), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 01:01 (nine years ago) link

Maybe it's a pinata droid and the base is full of delicious space candy.

I'm watching "Lost" for the first time because of this trailer. I suppose we are in for a more documentary-style Star Wars?

Kind of crazy that after 6 movies no one has yet explained what lightsabers are or how they are made in any of them.

Anyone watched this Ralph McQuarrie doc? It looks pretty good.

Episode Eight: The Saga of Sabermetrics

a stupid red mute juggalo (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 3 December 2014 01:33 (nine years ago) link

I thought of something

What if the vehicles we saw in the prequels were almost all atmosphere- and space-capable vehicles, so they had to have more aerodynamic exteriors and no stuff sticking off the outside like the Millenium Falcon had?

The x-wings are the multi-purpose tool of the rebellion so they have to be aerodynamic and work in both but are built less flashy because the rebels are broke. Other ships are repurposed transports or stuff like star destroyers that are meant to always be in space.

(No friction in space travel, shields help against friction on the ground)

M. Falcon seemed to fly okay around cloud city, kibblety bits and all.

Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 03:00 (nine years ago) link

not understanding how something could have a rolling base and relatively stationary top in a robot form made me the most exasperated

to be clear my issue is primarily with how the two parts are attached, cuz it doesnt look like there's an axle, it looks like the top part is just balanced on the bottom.

Οὖτις, Wednesday, 3 December 2014 03:10 (nine years ago) link

If its using repulsor lift (lol) then why bother with the ball

The new droid that accompanies Daisy Ridley and John Boyega’s characters on their journey through JJ Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens is basically a ball with a small R2-D2 styled head. Inside the body of the droid, there is a weight on a pole. The weight is heavier than the head, which is constructed out of a light metal, allowing the head to always remain upright as the body rolls on the ground. The artist, Jason Ward, separated the sphere, as the official Lucasfilm concepts did, to show how the mechanisms work. However, the new droid does not do that in the film. An abundance of gadgets can be stored inside the droid, including many mechanisms and defenses. To allow the droid to operate functionally on screen as a puppet, the ball is allowed to role on two tracks that are either obscured or digitally removed.

There ya go

What's this droid's function supposed to be? It seems like it might work as an off-road one of these: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/MSE-6-series_repair_droid

imagine the top is a hat, with an inside rim filled with ball bearings
