Let's start the debate about BB-8

[Neku Sakuraba 88]

We all know BB-8. That little droid who is the twinkle in our eyes. But a question can often come to mind, and Professor Oak asked it best: "Are you a boy or a girl?"

 

And I turn that question to you, deligent reader, is BB-8 a boy or a girl?

 

You have to pick one. No excuses!

its a droid

No excuses must be given. I will not take such a dull answer!

Agender.

It's a synth, created by the Institute. It has to be destroyed. (Before anyone asks, you don't know. There could be a human in the shape of a sphere.)

[Sorarocks93 678]

Why not both?

[Shimmy 458]

How dare you force such a pure being with these concepts. This droid is above the human plane of existence and therefore has no need for these silly genders.

 

Go BB-8, be free.

[WakingDawn96 1,166]

It's a transgender. It's both a boy and a girl, it's all in one! You can't deny that it is both a male and a female, as that would be going against its nature.

[Headphone Jack 1,147]

pretty sure it doesn't have a gender. that's like saying "what flavor are bricks? blueberry or cherry? no excuses! you must pick!"

[Kalebninja 188]

Guys star wars robots indeed have genders, R2-D2 and C3PO are guys and it was confirmed that BB8 was a girl.

 

 

"Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy later referred to BB-8 as “she” "

 

"a source close to the filmmakers has told the Daily Mail that BB-8 is definitely “a she” – and that the decision was a deliberate attempt to appeal to the female half of the Star Wars toy market.

 

“There’s never been a strong female robot in any Star Wars film,” the source said."

BB-8 is genderless. Like Frisk from Undertale, who can be a boy or a girl.

I know Frisk looks like a girl. But they're really not. And yes, you have to refer Frisk as they or them. Cause like i said, they're genderless.

Calling it male.

It has a ball.

But it lacks the syringe

Use the force and you'll find out.
