Among the Star Wars characters who are available for meet and greet opportunities at the Star Wars Launch Bay are Chewy, Kylo Ren and now BB-8, just not in the States…yet anyhow. Next month on April 14th as part of the new Star Wars Galactic Nights special event, BB-8’s will make his debut in Walt Disney World, at the Launch Bay in Hollywood Studios. While we are waiting for that though, he recently made his worldwide debut in Hong Kong Disneyland. Here’s a clip as brought by @DMK_Blog on Twitter:

It is a bit weird because you can’t really put your arm around him or get him to strike a pose from what I see, but he is just so darn cute and you can’t help but love him! Can’t wait to see what this is like in Hollywood Studios next month!
Your Thoughts:
I want to know what you think about BB-8’s debut in Hong Kong Disneyland. Are you looking forward to him in the Launch Bay in Hollywood Studios? Who else would you like to see there from the Star Wars Universe? Let us know in the comments section below!

My name is Ziggy and I love Disney, everything Disney! I grew up on Disney and it has and continues to be a huge part of my life. I started young when my parents took me to Disney World when I was 18 months old. Little did they know that would be the first of an uncountable number of trips we would take. I have so many amazing memories going to Disney with my family and friends and it has been interwoven into my DNA.
