Of course, BD-1 wasn't an overnight success. Shishido describes working with Doug Chiang, Lucas Films' resident mechanical design guru, to create BD-1, combining inspiration from past characters with modern everyday objects to develop something "visually brand-new," gameplay effective, and with maximum "Awww!" factor. He's designed to help the young Padawan and players fight against the Empire by exploring areas, hacking security systems, distracting enemies, and more. With two big eyes, a set of antennae, and a pair of gangly legs fit for the silliest of chickens, BD-1 is a companion to Cal Kestis, Fallen Order's protagonist. "We took inspiration from BB-8, R2-D2, and this droid called Chopper from the animated series, who has a little bit of attitude.
"There are a lot of cute droids in Star Wars," Kasumi Shishido, a senior producer for Respawn working on Fallen Order, tells Mashable. The breakout star of Fallen Order's newly released trailer and 15-minute gameplay preview, both debuted as part of EA Play 2019, "Buddy Droid 1" is the cutest robot walking around this, or any, galaxy. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is giving fans plenty to be excited about this weekend - but nothing has us jumping up and down, scanning our environments, and crawling aboard Jedi shoulders quite like the introduction of BD-1.
