BB-8 was an astromech droid who operated approximately thirty years after the Battle of Endor. The droid was at one point operating in the desert of the planet Jakku. It had a domed head, similar to that of R2 series astromech droids, with the bulk of its body made up of a ball that the droid rolled on. BB-8 was mostly white, with some silver and orange on its body, as well as a black eye-piece.
The droid belonged to Resistance pilot Poe Dameron, and thus was able to fit into a T-70 X-Wine fighter's droid socket.
The character was first introduced in Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
