[:nl]Brian Herring (BB-8) te gast op Echo Base Charity Con – A Star Wars Event! In 2015 maakten we kennis met de coole nieuwe droid BB-8, die direct goed in de smaak viel bij de fans. Zo werd de op afstand bedienbare uitvoering van Sphero al voordat The Force Awakens uitkwam een enorme hit.

BB-8 werd voor een aantal scènes door middel van CGI gerealiseerd, maar in de meeste gevallen was BB-8 een “echte” robot die door acteur en poppenspeler Brian Herring tot leven werd gewekt. Hij vervulde deze taak niet alleen voor The Force Awakens maar ook voor de nieuwe film The Last Jedi. Brian werkte daarnaast ook aan Rogue One, waarin hij onder meer te zien is als droid SE-2.[:en]Brian Herring (BB-8) will be at Echo Base Charity Con – A Star Wars Event!

BB-8 was realised by CGI for a number of scenes, but in most cases BB-8 was an “actual” robot who was brought to life by actor and puppeteer Brian Herring. He didn’t just fulfil this task for The Force Awakens but also for the upcoming film The Last Jedi.
