Oh my goodness, love you two! Just bought the BB Unit for my Son's birthday and it stopped working after we got back form the pool. My wife and I were crushed based on how much this puppy costs. Turns out the first fix worked! Thanks soo much!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO! After a couple of years I thought our BB was bad and would need some kind of repair. the re-linking procedure did the job :)
Thanks for the info me and my granddaughter we’re at Disneyland this last Saturday and we built this one and spent all that money and it stopped working the next day crazy we will do this thanks so much for the info
Thank you for showing me how to set him up, I totally thought I needed batteries. I've had my BB121 for over a year and never used him except in the park and it was packed that day.
Love the video. My son watched this vlog with me and he wants one for his birthday. He will be 31 in October and your never too old for Disney things. Thanks so much for sharing Dale and Jenna.
Awesome video, I am staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge and my sons BB-8 stopped working. This video saved me a trip back back to to droid depot. Thank you
Thank you my niece and two nephews are going in a couple of weeks and they are going to build a BB unit. I'm so happy I found this so they don't get upset if this happens. Prevention is the best medicine when it comes to kid's toys malfunctioning. This comment is told from experience. LOL
Awesome vlog Jenna, and Dale!! It doesn't seem as hard as I thought, troubleshooting the droid. Glad to see BB Grape again. Chloe playing with the squeaky toy was cute!! Now, you need a light saber! I mean, scrap metal.... 😉
Thanks so much for this super helpful video - we got our droid at Galaxay’s edge in March, the week before Covid lock downs....we struggled with it (probably due to stress) and never really got it up and going. One year later, I pulled them out, found your video, and finally understand how it works.
Just built my BB unit with one of my daughters this past Thanksgiving at Hollywood Studios. Named it BB-TRKY since I built him on TG - ha! Great tip on the carpet! Didn’t know about the chips
Nice and informative. For the controller I have seen that the redundant buttons do different things in the R units. Top left and right turn the dome and the bottom turns the body. One of the noise buttons does the accessory sound effects on the R unit for the jets and blasters.
That was really awesome! I’m definitely saving this for when I get a droid when I go to Galaxy’s Edge in WDW. Thank you for sharing these very helpful tips!
How cute are the little mickey heads you have on your nails! 😍 Hahaha, when Chloe was playing with her squeaker toy, my fur baby Daisy jumped out of her bed and was looking for the squeaker toy.
They do not react to other droids at all outside of the Disney Park. The needed signals to let them interact only exist there. They do random beeps, but thats it.
Thanks so much for this! I haven’t turned my BB8 on in a while and forgot how to! The personality chips are very cool. Looking forward to see how AI can be utilized with this tech!
I think this is very helpful! While the experience you had building him was very fun to watch, and the cast members made it very exciting, they weren't very forthcoming with the nuts and bolt of operation, were they?!?!
Hello. It is now December 2021 and I am just watching this. I built an R series droid at Galaxy's Edge 3 months ago and I absolutely love it! I would like to build another, but I am undecided whether to build a BB or R series droid. I didn't get the backpack as I didn't know about them until I got home,but I can't wait to go back. I will bring my droid with me for sure!. P.S. please bring your droid to HS with you the next time you are there. It would be fun to see him respond. When I was there,my droid was interacting with other droids on the Disney bus!
Thank you. My daughter was sick for several months before she passed so it sad idle. We couldn't figure out how to get it going. Now if we can just get it open again. For some reason I cannot manage it. We tried turning it on and off but put it back together first. I guess we should have left it open until we got it going! Any idea how to replace batteries?
the red button for any droid that isn't a bb unit, will turn just the head and the side arrows on the bottom would turn the body. But since the bb unit follows the head this does not apply to them and does the same thing.
A very interesting droid. I love the sounds it makes. It would be interesting to see how it reacts with other droids. Is cloie scared of it? Thanks for sharing. Very helpful.
we got one ,wasn't working until i watched ur video! , can't thank you enough!! , only one question plz , is there anyway he can make random noises by himself? do i have t press a button everytime i want him t make a sound? i was expecting more than just using the remote i don't know why 😄
I built an R2 series unit at Disneyland 18 Sept 2019. I found it works well on hard surfaces but does not like carpet, at least longer pile type, so it is the opposite of the BB type. As another writer said, the remote is more adapted to the R2 series in that the blue buttons control forward / reverse and turning, the red rectangle spins the head, the lower red button the sound and the up red button the options features like the rockets. I missed the personality chips while there an hope they may be available on line soon. I expect to see someone reverse engineer them and maybe create other options depending on the complexity of the sound circuits. I am also waiting to see if a smartphone bluetooth interface app becomes available.
George Mells hey I bought the already made one for my son at Disneyland and I cannot get it to turn on at all. I changed the batteries and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Anyway you could give me some tips? I got r2 d2
@@madair219 I wish I had a better recommendation but it might be the pairing with the remote. The droid doesn't do much when first turned on. This is a link to the instruction sheet that is more informative than the ones on the bottom of the build it yourself box. secure.cdn1.wdpromedia.com/dam/disneyland/shops/disneyland/droid-depot/R2-D2-Instruction-Sheet-060419.pdf Maybe it will help if the problem is the pairing.
(1)How long has the BB8 battery lasted? (2) I would also like to see a video of the battery replacement. (3) Is there a way to activate the BB8 after it goes to sleep mode after 5 minutes without opening the torso?
Do you get any kind of instruction manual with the droid? Or did you have to figure all of this out on your own? Thanks for the video, very informative!
I just got one. I was happy to see the controls... I was worried my buttons under the red weren’t working properly/not moving him properly. I originally wanted purple, but ended up with the original color (orange). Now I kind of wish I would’ve gotten purple. 😂 They are so hard to open. I had mine turned off at the depot. Is it better to keep him turned off when not using? It’s such a pain to open/close him. Thanks in advance.
Nice video! Just made my BB unit today. I was wondering how the “automatic 5-minutes turn off” works. I’m at the hotel now, haven’t used the droid for hours, but I just turned on the control to test if the bluetooth was still enabled, pressed the sound button on the remote control and the droid made a sound. Should I need to open the droid and turn off the switch manually for disabling it? Does it keeps spending battery if turned on? What’s the difference between both? Thanks!
I had my droid shipped back since my carry on wasn’t big enough. Anyways I can get my droid to turn on and make noises with the sound button but if I touch any movement button including the ones to move the head it instantly goes to sleep. Any ideas?
Do they talk on their own? I’ve seen videos where they just start bleeping without any remote control. Also so you have to turn him on ever time you want to use him?
I’m not the creator but, you have to press a button. Sometimes if you don’t use him for like 2-3 minutes he’ll spin his head or talk to you before shutting off
I got the R unit and the big rectangular red button is to rotate their heads while the left/right blue buttons are to traverse the droid left and right. For some reason though only the bottom noise button works on my droid he doesnt speak when I press the top one. Anyone know why?
I brought mine home today and the thing isn’t working it may of been cause I removed the batteries and tried to give it new ones, but once I put them back it still wouldn’t work
If anyone's having trouble with their bb8 bot, here's how to set it up when you first get it. (there were no instructions in our box, or on the box like i've seen elsewhere online) You need to PAIR the remote to the bot before it'll work. Find the power switch on the bot and hit the search button as they show in this video. The important step they leave out is you have to hold those two buttons they show WHEN YOU TURN IT ON. You can't turn it on and hold those two buttons down, you do it while its off.. Then turn it on while you're already pressing them. Did this and it finally paired after i was about to return the silly thing.
Very neat! Does this happen to be same interactive bb-8 droid sold online at shopdisney.com? Just curious because trying to sell a bb8 hero droid made by spin master and everyone says its 99 bucks on disney site. The spin master version ad video is still even listed on Disney site saying available now although discontinued. Not trying to start any crazy backlash, I'm just curious if i'm listing my item at correct rate. I love Star Wars and am extremely excited to visit Galaxys Edge.

Shama Saleem I’m glad our video saved your BB 8 👍
I didn’t know you can make that! I wish I knew it sooner because I went for my first time dang it but yeah thx this video is so cool
Does this work for c and r droids
Thank you. We just got back home from Disneyland and these instructions were very helpful for my 1st grader.

Thank you very much for your help. The video was a huge help. Now my 7 years old is happy with his BB unit and is ready to play again. Thank you (mom

Very interesting and informative video. This video will definitely help people who have purchased one😀
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you the first tip was helpful and so my BB unit is working again.
Great video! I really like watching BBGrape in action. Also, I love the new sounds it makes with the personality chip. Thanks for sharing. :)
Neat video! I'm planning to get an R2 droid in Galaxy's Edge here in Hollywood Studios!

I ❤️ BB grape! It would be interesting to see how he reacts to another droid. Dale you have to get one when the Florida Galaxy’s Edge opens.
They do not react to other droids at all outside of the Disney Park. The needed signals to let them interact only exist there. They do random beeps, but thats it.
I wonder how many times your dog thought you got him a new toy! Lol
Many thanks for this upload!!🙏🏼.
Thank you very much! Very helpful for my daughter 👍🏼
Thorough review & how to! By the way, BB-Grape is a great name 💜💜💜
Thanks so much for this! I haven’t turned my BB8 on in a while and forgot how to! The personality chips are very cool. Looking forward to see how AI can be utilized with this tech!
I love living vicariously through you😊! Welcome BB 🍇! ResortTV1 is a great family❣️
Keeps rocking back and forth!!
This is so good! I was about to return mine because it wasnt turning on xD
I'm so glad we were able to help get yours going again!!
BBGrape is so cute! Loved watching you make it!
So that's how those things move around. Very impressive.
BB-GRAPE! I was watching when you built it...
Thank you I thought my droid stop working too! This helped a lot
I think this is very helpful! While the experience you had building him was very fun to watch, and the cast members made it very exciting, they weren't very forthcoming with the nuts and bolt of operation, were they?!?!
Very helpful! Thanks! My partner made the BB droid and I made the light saber; looks like she makes a light saber and I want my own BB-grape!
Love the name BB-Grape!
Great video. But how do you change the batteries?
Thank you so much we thought the batterys already died you saved us a lot of trouble
Glad this helped!!
BB Grape is just so cool!! He is a talker with that personality chip😂

Thanks so much! Bought one and needed to learn how to operate it.😎
Thanks for helping me!
Glad it helped!!!
Thankyou so much! This was so helpful!
sooooo Cool Thanks for Video
Very cool and interesting!
what was chloes reaction to bb grape
Second. I really want one of those😃😃
Does it work without a personality chip??
Very nice BB unit, what type of power source, battery , charger? I watched you build it at the time.
Im curious about this too. No one has really said. Im sure remote is batteries but
The droid itself runs on 6 aa batteries
The BB unit uses 6 AAs and the R2 units use 8 AAs. The remote takes a 9V I believe
we got one ,wasn't working until i watched ur video! , can't thank you enough!! , only one question plz , is there anyway he can make random noises by himself? do i have t press a button everytime i want him t make a sound? i was expecting more than just using the remote i don't know why 😄
only inside of GE or if you get a bluetooth beacon. look on YT for that.
Mine is turning off after just a few minutes even if I'm playing with it, sometimes it just turns of after a minute. I even changed the batteries
BEAUTIFUL !
Thank you so much! Life saver!
Glad this helped!!!
How do you change the batteries? We also have a bb-8
Thank you! This is super helpful. ;)

I know disney merch can be expensive but it is so worth the price.
Extremely helpful! Idk why Disney doesn’t give those instructions with the purchase.
still so neat to se a working droid!
Great video it was very informative but how much do they cost? cause I've never been!
Thank you for this video!
Do you get any kind of instruction manual with the droid? Or did you have to figure all of this out on your own? Thanks for the video, very informative!
You can ask for an instructional sheet, from what I've seen reported. But doesn't come with your purchase, which is odd...
Jenna as I said on Instagram ..I got a BB-8 at Target a few years ago.Yours is very similar to mine but yours is a tad larger then mine

i have one exactly like it
I got a bb unit from galaxy's edge, but it makes weird noises while moving and the head wobbles slot which affect its direction. Any tips please.
Right before you turn on the remote when you have to hold the button until it flashes my light never flashes so is there a way to fix this?
It hard to get the body to open I love mine just got mine
Mine won’t open what should I do??
Just got it yesterday
Question where do you replace the batteries?

Hello, how do you charge the droid? Ty
The original ones are battery operated...not chargeable. Not sure if they ever changed it to charging.
For some reason my sound is really low when I put the dome back on 🥺
Hello friend how can i charge that driod
Did you get instructions with BB Grape?
Scott Davis we did not. I figured these out on my own and thought others need to know since there was no instructional manual.
Where can i buy it?

I can’t get mine to make noise any more we just got it two weeks ago
good job!
My droid is so easy to control now
Please help me how do I unlink my r unit
