The narration is just Luke.

Seems it's worked out neatly for Abrams that Mark Hamill became such a well-regarded voice actor.

that makes sense, guess I'm over thinking it

So apparently ~~BB-8~~ F1F4 uses 100% practical effects.

Must be a wheeled or ball-joint propelled engine inside the droid that weighs down the body and controls movement, while the head must be kept in place by magnetism. Precisely how they coordinate movement I can't fathom, but there might be a sensor inside the head that reacts to the head being tilted and makes it move against the tilt (would explain why the droid seems to 'lean forward' when moving).

I suspect the ball droid works like a Segway device. Only in two dimensions not just one. That must be a fantastic robotics problem to solve. it makes me think I would like to build one, too.

Ep 1-3 and Lucas' back alley surgery on the original three (Han shot first dammit! And the extra CGI is like a moustache on the Mona Lisa to me) ruined the Star Wars magic for me.
But now I'm quietly hoping these movies will bring it back.

Yea, that droid sold me on it. The fact they build something we all asumed could only be CG is pretty amazing.

I'm in love with that trailer, and its only 2 minutes long...well actually shorter when you remove the adverts at the end. I did read on IGN that the chrome trooper is actually female, no idea if that's true or not.

Did anyone notice that Chewie and Han's stance is just like they did in A New Hope promotional pictures?
