Why BD Droids Are the BEST Droids! 

I like that BD looks like a really small AT-ST and I love him with all my heart.

I feel like these are some of the few droids in Star Wars that seem like they could make actual practical sense in real life.

I’d love to have an actual BD droid. This is what robotics should aspire to

The fact that LEGO haven't made an official Lifesize BD-1 is astounding. Hopefully with the New game in the series announced, we'll get some sets based around stuff from Fallen Order

Gotta hand it to Disney. they brought in some of that cuteness of some of their mascots to some of those new droids and did it effectively

The attention to detail with a droid like this is amazing. Pelli's BD droid using its holo projector and moving the same as it did in the game shows how much the creators of the care about continuity.

He said “buddy droid” for BD but I would have been perfectly happy with the “Bird Dog” being the reason for “B-D” 😂💀

Before even watching the video, I'll tell you right away that I agree, and the moment I met BD-1 in Fallen Order I immediately knew what kind of droid I'd want in real life, perfect mix of adorable pet and utility droid!

I remember when I first played the game Amy impression of BD-1 went from “huh, this droid looks cool” to “I would risk my life for this thing!”

I love this droid model, hope to see more in other series

The reveal of a BD in BoBF was the first time in a very long time that I literally paused what I was watching, screamed out, and rewound to watch it again. Of course my head canon went straight to "that's BD-1," and subsequently, "Cal is going to teach Din how to use the Darksaber." And of course, that's very unlikely. But that's fine, because I was so delighted nonetheless. Seeing BD next to multiple generations of droids from the films in the same scene was a truly validating experience.

BD-1, from the moment I met him in Fallen Order, was my favourite droid I had ever seen. He's so cute. Not only that, but he has tons of uses. Useful and cute, the perfect mix

honestly i was kinda hoping the BD droid would tag along with Din since he seemed to get along with it so well. i guess theres still room for that to happen but frankly i dont think theyre gonna give Din 2 adorable marketable companions

Definitely some of the best droids! Its cool seeing BDs in Mando / Boba Fett after having one in Fallen Order.

I wish Mando would've taken it for him, I want to see him climb Din's back and running around by himself scanning everything during Din's adventures heck imagine him scanning Grogu when they meet because it would be the first Yoda species being he has encountered or something like that.

My face instantly lit-up from the first shot of the BD unit. Initially thought it was THE BD-1, but quickly figured it probably wasn't, but was extremely happy to see one in live action nonetheless.

i like how the design for the live action one looks like one of the alternate bd-1 skins, somewhere between the grungio, myrmidon, and stygeon prime skins

For April Fools Day you should upload a 2+ hours long video, just rambling about how and why Biggs is the best character, going into minute details and stating the weirdest facts about him. Would ne fun to watch you go full nerd

I'm not a gamer and I didn't know BD before I watched The Book of Boba Fett. But my first reaction to him was "Sooo cuuuute!!!" 😍

They remind me of puppies. Adorable and always there for you.

This is also the forst live-action appearance of a womp rat. Heck, i think its the first film appearance of a womp rat.

I had the EXACT same reaction seeing a BD unit in the last episode!! I had a sliver of hope for seeing Cal in live action in the future. Love the content!

Because they're adorable and does a cute happy dance.

I didn’t know anything about the droid but as soon as I saw it I imagined it’s potential….In a way it reminds me of the translator droid lowbacca has in legends canon and the way that droid was upgraded to allow it to interact with larger systems. In the same way in The Mandalorian and BOBF we see Artoo unit that are bolted onto repulsor craft to act as the driver I picture BD droid able to dock onto and operate larger specialized equipment. I’m just picturing is a was a lone person in the Star Wars universe I would want to have a squad of BD droids (under the leadership of an R2 Unit) that could dock with a ship or speeder to move it around for me, maybe even headless humanoid devices for moving items and manual manipulation.

I LOVE BD-1! For me, he's the best part of Fallen Order, which is a great game by itself^^

Thanks for the info on this droid. I didn't know about it before I saw that episode and this video.

God I can't wait until Fallen Order 2

I love BD Droids so much. I wanted to build one since I played Fallen Order

If a BD Droid ever becomes available commercially, I'll be at the top of the list to buy one (LEGO or otherwise)

My new headcanon is Peli’s BD Droid was a gift from her Jawa Ex

Weird that they didnt make a decent sized action figure out of him. The design is so appealing and I could see kids that dont know anything about star wars just wanting one when seeing it on a shelf in a toy store.

"I was filled with pure joy, and then complete and utter distress when it was attacked by a womp rat" Dude, same

The bit we're he got excited and shuffled his legs 😀

I see BD, I like

Yes I have the exact same reaction you did! physical response and pure joy

BDs are like scaled down Scout Walkers.

He can fly😍. It makes him even cooler. I loved Chopper, but when they showed he could fly it made his character even better.

BD is now my favorite Droid in star wars, i like that droid a lot. thank you for R videos

It's just like when Zanny did a let's play on J:FO. When he first saw BD-1, he said "I would die for you." That's probably everyone's first reaction to him. Especially mine.

That was the most emotion I ever heard from Alex. XD

BD’s are great, my favourite droids for sure.

These little dudes have a really similar energy to Wall-E or Johnny 5. Apparently there is something special about the "binoculars for a head" design.

Your new thumbnails are awesome

Pelli has quite an eclectic group of droids in her shop. Good for her and us.

Both BD-1 and BB-8 are both my favorite droids up falling in line with R2-D2 and B1 battle droids.

Bd 1 is such a amazing character I really hope we see him or another model like him in the spotlight on one of the future shows!

He reminds me a lot of WALL-E, especially those big eyes and general air of bewildered innocence.

I sttanded up and screamed, when I saw the BD unit! It was a wonderful feeling!

didn't know about this droid before BoBF but moment i saw it i knew it was important to fans and BD units are adorable

Haha..nice reaction and yes I also did enjoy the BD-droid cameo. I wished it would have joined Mando.

There's something absolutely amazing that they on purpose try to design BB-8 (a droid I love) to be like the new R2D2 of the series only for Grogu and BD-1 to far surpass him by accident. It's kind of a lesson between on purpose engineering and emergent response.

Just wonderful!

Gotta admit the BD and BB Units are nice additions to the Star Wars family of droids.

I love your channel! The Ant droids from the Book of boba are really cool. I hope we get some cool toys of them and a lego BD1. How cool would a bd1 RC toy be ?

"I dare you not to fall in love with one" Me: Ha, I've already failed.

My fav droid ever since playing fallen order I’ve grown up with Star Wars and I mean it’s got many great droids but bd is simply the best I can’t wait to see more of them in Star Wars so cute so helpful like a little dinosaur but very expressive

While I was excited to see a BD, I don’t think anyone was as excited as you were, Alex 😅

Glad to see I wasn't the only one getting "dog" vibes from BD-1, he honestly seemed to have the personality of a curious puppy!

BD does not only mean Buddy Droid, it is even a hommage for BT (Buddy Titan) from the Titanfall Games from Respawn Entertainment. Very good idea and the name suits him very much. Nice video and I hope we see this BD unit (and BD-1 of course) again!

BD-1 is now in my favorite droid, he is so cute and loyal.

I haven't played Fallen Order but was very happy when it popped up. It's such a funny looking droid, really fits Star Wars.

A very practical, versatile, and kind droid model.

BD-1 is one of the best droids. frakin' adorable

Im so glad we had a similar reaction.

We need a BD-1 toy, one where you pop in some batteries or something & it walks around... Or tappity tap taps so cutely. ^__^

I’ve seen a 3D printed version of BD-1 and I want it. Star Wars has been doing great creating new droids. K2S0, IG-11 BB-8!

Love BD - I was so happy to see him. The only Droid appearance that would get me more excited would be if Chopper appears in the Ahsoka series.

i just love how bd-1 is so hyper

BD-1 is my favorite droid in star wars. I literally squealed and jumped up and down when bd popped out

I look forward to be able to customize the little guy in Jedi Survivor.

I've never played Fallen Order. But I'm absolutely delighted that they're pulling references from so many places.

I had never seen this droid before that episode of -The Mandalorian- _The Book of Boba Fett,_ but the way it was prominently featured had me thinking it was a cameo of some kind. I agree, it's adorable, and- like someone before me said- I would _love_ for LEGO to release a full-sized version of this like they did R2-D2 -and BB-8- (which, yes, I have both of those). Hopefully we see it again in _The Mandalorian_ so they can justify releasing it in a larger scale!

I literally had the exact same reactions you had to seeing this on screen.

yeah they are adorable and i want one along with several other droids.

That moment feels like it was specifically designed for you hahahah

I’m now in love with BD droids

Alex's "NO!" is incredible

What Alex isn't telling you, (for obvious reasons,) is that the _real_ reason we don't see any of those particular types of Droids in the original trilogy, for example, is because they weren't invented by the Neal Scanlan Creature and Droid design team until the production of the game; _"Jedi; Fallen Order."_ (Just sayin' ✌)

The BD series of droids instantly took my number one favorite companion droid slot as soon as I saw one. I still think the IG series is my personal favorite, next to the BX series. I’m always going to have a soft spot for astromechs, and B1s.

In canon, BD-1 is responsible for the single most effective attack levelled against Darth Vader in his prime (read: post-suit) until his death at the hands of Palpatine, incapacitating him for even longer than Ahsoka did when she shattered part of his mask in that iconic rebels scene. Truly, the most goated Star Wars character of all time

I wasn't aware of the design being based on a bird and dog, though I can see it now. I made the instant connection to dwarf short ear rabbit myself actually as my family has some very loving ones and the "antenna ears" behave very similarly, plus the way they follow us around and beg for attention. Regardless, I fell in love with BD-1 instantly in Fallen Order the same way and is absolutely in my top droids list

I somehow knew there was a correlation between his name and the word "buddy". How cute

I’d love to have my own BD unit

Didn't play Fallen Order, but I always like the droids in Star Wars.

Waiting for a droid contest. Have an idea for a type of droid. Although the droids would have some features the same there would be roughly six different styles. Be very simple in design. Two would look like stylized rabbits, one based on iconic engineer structure piece, the others like various objects. They would serve various purposes, with the ability to pick up items or hold onto objects.

Instantly became my favorite droid, and type of droid. I want one...now please.

The best thing about BD-1 (well one of the best things) is that instead of being just a gameplay mechanic like you might expect, he's his own character within the story with agency of his own, actually doing things in cutscenes and having a personality instead of just being used as a tool for bypassing obstacles.

The fact that BD stands for Buddy Droid gives me life

You could've simply said bd droids are the cutest droids and we would've believed you

I'll admit I never played the game but I loved seeing her bd for the first time

BD-1 is more helpful than most other video game companions in my favorite video game series

I loved R2D2 growing up... and never saw other droids as anything close to him.... until I played the fallen order game with BD1... since then I have know if droids were real, BD droids would definetly be my sidekick!

BD Droids, The Cortana of Star Wars.

I'm amazed you managed to stretch "They just are" into a 5m video, kudos!

Objective : Don't fall in love with this droid Processing... Results : Unachievable

I just beat fallen order like a month and half ago or so, so yah I loved it xD

BD units are so cool!

YES i lost my mined when i saw this and was so happy when it helpd mando with the ship!!

I was expecting you to say BD was for Bird Dog after talking about it 🤣
