https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMOVFvcNfvE for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released, the internet lost its collective mind. Not only were people up in arms (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/12/02/black-stormtrooper-star-wars_n_6257960.html) over the fact that a stormtrooper could be *gasp* black, but also nobody could believe that this incredible rolling droid, dubbed the BB-8, was actually real. It must be CGI (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/06/star-wars-download-april-10/), right? Well, during today's Star Wars Celebration convention in Anaheim, California, the BB-8 made its first real-life debut by rolling onstage to riotous applause from the crowd. Check out the video below (http://www.polygon.com/2015/4/16/8431295/star-wars-the-force-awakens-bb-8-puppet-jj-abrams) to see the BB-8 and the venerable R2-D2 engage in a beeping, tweeting chirp battle.
