Today the Disney Parks Blog released that BB-8, the beloved droid and sidekick to Rey from Star Wars: The Force Awakens, will have a character meet-and-greet beginning this spring at Star Wars Launch Bay in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. BB-8’s meet-and-greet opportunity will be in addition to the current meet-and-greet characters: Kylo Ren and Chewbacca, and neither of the current characters will be replaced.
