Introducing The BB-8 Builders Club

Posted by Dustin on October 8, 2015 at 10:55 AM CST


Founded by a handful of current members of the R2-D2 Builders Club, the BB-8 Builders began forming just after Star Wars Celebration Anaheim in April 2015. Ever since that seminal event (in which a working, practical BB-8 rolled out onstage during a special presentation for The Force Awakens) the Club has gathered detailed information & photos and has done painstaking analysis from everything available in order to generate and share official sets of Club plans that will assist members in the construction of their own BB-8.



All BB-8 plans created and generated by the Club will be open-source and publicly available for fair use.

The “mission” and purpose of The BB-8 Builders Club is two-fold:

1) We will promote interest in Star Wars and its fandom by allowing others to become a part of the Maker movement. We truly believe anyone can build their own Droid of some kind (even BB-8), and will do our best to encourage anyone interested in becoming a part of this hobby.

2) We will follow the example set by Lucasfilm Ltd. by giving back to the community via fundraising charity and volunteerism at events and appearances..

The BB-8 Builders Club will use the Internet as a common means to communicate as well as gather and share information regarding BB-8 building and all club activities. The Club is organized and policed by a group of Administrators (or “Admins”), including members with direct relationships with Lucasfilm Ltd.

Anyone with an interest in BB-8 or building a Droid is welcome to join the BB-8Builders Club, and there are no Club Dues or Fees.

The official website of The BB-8 Builders Club is located at: www.bb8builders.club

Currently, the full website is under design and development. But to get things underway the Club is using Facebook as its defacto “home” on the internet and the main portal of communication and collaboration. The official BB-8 Builders Club Facebook Group can be found at https://www.facebook.com/groups/BB8BuildersClub/
