'THE FORCE AWAKENS' AT 10: DROID LOVE!

It was love at first sight for Daisy Ridley and the charming droid BB-8 during location filming in Abu Dhabi in 2014 for The Force Awakens. And audiences were soon smitten with the pair of them onscreen - the lost droid with secret info vitally needed by the Resistance, and Rey, the lost young girl carving out a meagre existence, dreaming of a life beyond, on the far away junk world of Jakku... 

J.J. Abrams watches the filming of Rey adjusting BB-8's antenna.

Loyal droids serving far different kinds of masters - cute BB-8 and shifty BB-9E - pose for a special merchandise/publicity image for The Last Jedi.

Brian Herring, one of the most recognisable faces behind BB-8's functioning, is interviewed:
