‘You Get Almost Star-Struck When You Meet R2-D2’

TIME:

“The moment you meet BB-8, you build up some form of weird human connection,” says Marco Grob, who photographed the new Star Wars character for this week’s TIME cover. “It has one eye that has this really cute way of looking at you. It’s just incredible.”

Watching both droids run around the studio is great — BB-8’s whimsical antics made me laugh.
