    Ok folks.....

    That really obsessed me today.

    Follow me:

    BB-8
    [​IMG]

    Gonk droid
    [​IMG]

    It's like the COMMODORE 64 of the STAR WARS UNIVERSE!

    What happens with these in TFA?

    Are they still around?
    Are they relics?
    Collectables?
    Are they used for something else and original?
    Are they venerated by some space hipsters?

    Are they are now used as stools in the Cantina?

    Your ideas!
    Let's boogie!

    Yeah these are even worst, like the Atari 2600 of the Droid Industry.

    Why the spikes anyway? Self defense mechanism?

    Ha maybe you can link them together. Wasn't one of those a bounty hunter?

    I hope B'omarr Monk makes a return.

    Also BB-8 looks like Samus when in ball form. I hope it has some minor transforming capabilities.

    Haha! I love GONK droid too!

    Well if Oscar Isaac has anything to say about it, then we will see GONK droids in TFA. They were his favorite.

    I figure we'll see some in the backgrounds here and there but honestly... weren't they pretty much obsolete already in ANH? :p

    We need a gonk droid emote.
