B2EMO is the new droid introduced in Star Wars Andor, the Lucasfilm and Disney+ Star Wars live-action Rogue One spin-off by Tony Gilroy starring Diego Luna. When Maarva Andor died in "Daughter of Ferrix", we saw how it affected B2. Today we explore droids like R2-D2, C-3PO and others and how droids feel emotion in the Star Wars universe. We are days away from the Andor finale (episode 12).

I've never seen such devotion in a droid before.
To suggest that I love this video with all of my heart is a gross understatement of my emotions right now. What a masterful presentation on our beloved droids. B2’s stature as a principle player in Andor puts him right beside R2, 3PO, and Chopper. I’ve always been drawn to the droids of Star Wars (of course you already know this), and the scene of B2 “wanting Maarva”….. I just can’t. The lump in my throat… and I’ve felt this lump in SW before… with R2, with Chop, even with 3PO in ROS. Thank you, Meg, for spending some time with B2 and our loyal and lovable droids. ❤
@@MickeyThomas408 How Rude! Lol
B2EMO's reaction to Maarva's death is one of the most heartbreaking moments in the whole Star Wars
Exactly the same feeling from me..I got so choked up watch B2EMO's reaction to Maarva's death tears started to come. That is great writing.
B2 reminds me more than a little of WALL-E
Hans death was trivial compared to the heartbreak of watching B2 grieve. It was the most real thing I’ve experienced while watching tv.
I love how they didn't really try make him physically cute but yet he still earned more empathy from me than any other droid before, even R2
B2 won my heart when he raced over to welcome Cass into their home as if he were giving him a big hug. This display of emotion was right up there with R2's little screams (wheee!). B2 had probably mourned the death of Marva's husband, but was comforted by Ma-Marva and Cass. His companion bond with Marva is definitely being felt in her absence.
I still get sD when thinking of B2 mourning. "I don't want to be alone. I want to be with Ma-Maarva." Breaks my heart every time Dave Chapman delivers that line.
The screen writing for this show has been simply outstanding. From the emotions of B2EMO to the multiple applications of the concept of “the axe forgets but the tree remembers.” Practically every character in this series has been developed more than the most developed characters in the sequel trilogy. I’m sad that we are almost to the end of the first season and won’t see season 2 for a couple years, but at least I’m confident that it will be worth waiting for.
100% 100% after the third episode I was explaining to a friend that Timm's motivation was fleshed out better than any character in the sequels. I cared more about a character with very little screen time who dies in the first arc than the leads in most movies and shows. I mean not to throw shade but Din Djarin has such a simple motivation: being a good mandalorian and upholding his creed. And its one dimensional. With Timm, its not until after Aldhani that Bix tells Cassian that timm was jealous and thought Cass and Bix were back together. But it was pretty clear in the little dialogue he delivered, the way he tried to follow Bix and then was spying on her at the bar. I have to check again but i think he said something to Bix about wanting to start a family. Cassian was painted as a dead beat (Bix says this after aldahni) and Timm just wanted to free Bix from that trap thats all too real world, where women cant move on from that one charismatic ex-lover even if he is a piece of shiz.
@@stevebreedlove9760 I hear what you are saying about Din Djarin but keep in mind that he is on a journey of discovery. He was kept in the dark by his clan about the complete Mandalorian culture. As he learns more he is evolving. A good example is the willingness to make sacrifices for things that are important to him. He wouldn’t remove his helmet to engage with the widow in the first season. That pull wasn’t strong enough to bend his values. But when he comes into contact with Grogu things change. He violates the Guild code to rescue Grogu. Then he removes his helmet to save Grogu and to make a emotional connection with him. His values start out as basic and inflexible until they have to change.
Cassian is similar. As you said, he’s viewed as a selfish deadbeat. He’s a thief but he steals to try to establish a better life, especially for Marva. Until she rejects him then he goes back to his selfish ways until the empire enslaves him in the prison. Even after that, he is selfish. He gives Melshie a blaster, sure, but no money. He still isn’t a rebel with ideals, he’s just a man trying to survive under the sometimes crushing grip of the empire. We are about to see something that will push him to do terrible things for the rebellion because he is learning that doing nothing can still ruin your life.
Star Wars is best when it developers the characters on their journey towards destiny.
The sequels sucked in large part because they did a terrible job of developing the characters. Solo, was also weak in this regard. The story should have been about 2 things (IMO). First was how Han became the owner of the Millennium Falcon. They did a good job with that. More importantly, they should have solidified how Han and Chewie became best friends. They did not do a good job here. Han did help Chewie escape but he never really sacrificed anything to earn his undying love and life debt. I thought he could have easily done that by sacrificing the mission to actively help Chewie rescue the other Wookiee, especially if they had been his actual family. But instead, Han basically Han let’s Chewie go off on his own while Han continues towards his own goals.
Like a loyal pet, or a very young child that doesn’t understand death, B2 wanted to stay, thinking that she will come back home like she always has many times before, but sadly she will never come back home, and B2 is now stuck in painful loop, living in the past where the memories are. That is a very unhealthy way to grieve. I hope B2 gets all the love he needs to move forward in life.
How many people have wanted to just stay in bed when they were depressed. When Brasso says “you’ve been there all day”, it really hits home.
Seriously.
B2 definitely feels like the loyal family dog. His charging station even reminds me of a dog bed.
I was in tears. B2 seems more human than some humans.
I def teared up. Not bawling but i did choke up. Its good writing.
Simply put, Brasso is a good person, and a great friend.
In my opinion, this is worthy of a Hugo Science Fiction award, or a Saturn award for television series, at least.
The aptly named B2EMO is just so both heart warming and heart-rending! The droid trope has been elevated for the SW universe. It is a sad that they seem to have sentience as we’ve seen droids used poorly as soldiers just as the clones were. So hope he gets a good home.
Didn't Brasso say he'd be taking him in? I may have misunderstood.
B2EMO reminded me of the three droids in “Silent Running”. Now that film will make you cry for the droids. 😢
Also, the bot in Disney's The Blackhole to some extent
@@Chyronn Yes, there is some likeness-particularly to Old B.O.B.
I'm trying to work out what kind of shenanigans Cass must have gotten Bee into during his childhood for him to have sustained so much damage in so little time. He was pristine when the family was only Clem and Maarva.
The damage probably comes from raiding imperial ships like the one Marva & Clem was raiding when they found Casian. This seemed to be there job they were pirates that’s why is turned out to be able to fly all kinda ships just a thought 💭
@@frederickblack1456 Equally possible. But, it assumes that Bee was brand new when they found Cassian. Also, Cass was still quite young when Clem died, and it's implied (not certainly, but likely) that Maarva retired after that. So, Bee would have had to accumulate a lot of damage in a very short period of time.
That said, it is possible that his damage could have come as a result of just one sideways job early on after adopting Cassian, which does change the metric in explaining his malfunctioning state. Yes, equally possible.
And don’t forget the other glitch of him Stuttering his words. I forgot if he had that Stutter at the origin scene.
B2's reaction to the loss of Marva was heart wrenching.
he's like the casualties of war you never think of. Him and Cassian are brothers, he's more than a pet but does have parallels. Im glad some of the people helping after Maarva died knew how he felt. Not treating him as an appliance etc. I think mind wipes are done because they do have sentience, and emotions. They 'get' how humans aren't like machines but how they are more alike than they want to admit, even as they abuse and belittle them.
One of the worst lines related to this was in the prequels was when Obi Wan told Dex "if droids could think, there'd be none of us here" when not only do they think, they show emotion.
I never thought a droid would make me so emotional the way B did. That was heart breaking. 😥
Since 1977, I have always felt the droids to be full of emotions. Which is why I love them dearly and continue to hope that R2D2 helped save Grogu from Order 66.
There was true joy when R2 edged around Luke & saw Grogu on the bridge of Moff G's ship
I still think he’s a strong candidate. I’ve been attached to R2 since I can remember. I was born in ‘75, so my entire LIFE has included R2 and 3PO. I love that we are getting such droid appreciation these days. B2 has now taken his place in SW canon as an absolute principal player. ❤️
@@dawnkladerman598Yes! I've always thought that Grogu and R2 were communicating in that scene!
A B2EMO spin off would be cool. Like adventures of the clone wars of the Marva and Clem’s life as scavengers during the clone wars but told through B2’s eyes.
I'm so glad you made this video. My granddaughter is obsessed with all things robotic. She will absolutely love it!
I am definitely getting attached to B2. He is part of the family. It's not a pet but a family member. ❤️
Meg, this is very well thought out. B2 might as well have a last name of Andor. His emoting for Maarva made me sad. And you're right, K2SO died tragically -- that event was quite complete, and a little jarring as I didn't expect it to happen. Brasso, in the way he tries to work with and comfort B2, looks and feels like he would be B2's next owner.
B2 becomes k2
@@nycgweed
Sheer speculation.
Meg always gives us the best videos about Droids in Star Wars. They are often overlooked but are always an integral part of each story. The scene with B2EMO grieving Maarva's death was so sad.
I always felt like the droids in Star Wars were alive and had human emotions in someway. There’s lots of examples: R2-D2, C-3PO, Chopper, AP-5, 264, K-2SO, BB-8, CB-23, Roger, B1, R2-KT, WAC-47, QT-KT, Q9-C4, M5-BZ, R5-D4, R3, IG-11, TODO-360, Gonky, L3, Lola, AZI-3 and now B2EMO. If I was there for Bee, I would give him a hug. He deserves it. I hope they give him more episodes in Andor and don’t kill him off. We need more droid like this. Rest In Peace Marva and May the force be with you, B2EMO.
"I've rarely seen so much devotion in a Droid before"- Luke Skywalker
The thing that hasn't made sense is why as soon as Marva died the ISB didn't just come in and take B2. As seen in other Star Wars series, droids can be persuaded by one form or another to divulge all the information they contain and it seems they missed a good opportunity.
Maybe because funeral process wasn't complete
Noswaith dda,
I totally loved this theme tonight and well done.
I think the Gilroys have used B2 to show and feel the grief of loss in a way that Andor can't express or show any emotion that could draw attention.
In CW when R2 first sees Ahsoka (siege of Mandalore) he shows his electronic joy for a long-lost friend and companion return and needs to know what she has been up to.
R2 and C3PO were the Laurel and Hardy comedy act.
Nos da
B2 leading the march down Rix Road is a goated Star Wars moment
My guild kept talking bout this. We all agreed that scene tugged harder than we would have expected
B2EMO’s reaction to Marva’s death was so heartwarming and sad at the same time😭
It was just so surprisingly heartbreaking when I first heard B2EMO express his grief at missing Marva. I didn't expect that at all! I mean Grogu on the Mandalorian sort of did the same thing to me for Yoda's species. B2 is doing this for me for droids.
R2-D2 was an astromech droid sent, with several other Astromechs to do ship control repairs during a space battle between Naboo Starship and Separatists starships seeking to kidnap Queen Padme Amidala. Even after losing most of his repair team, Artoo completed the control system repair alone while under fire and attack. Also, Artoo regretfully had to attend the funeral of 2 of his owners: former Queen/then Senator Padme Amidala of Naboo, and Princess / then General Leia Organa-Solo of Alderaan (Daughter of Padme/Sister of General Master Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight)
C-3PO was actually built by your Anakin Skywalker from spare parts found at the salvage yard he worked at on Tatooine. Cethrepio's original body was gray not gold. After he sacrificed himself to save Padme, she had him rebuilt better with the gold body. It was after his first mind wipe that C-3PO forgot that Anakin Skywalker built him.
The scene in the Daughter of Ferrix made me cry for him. Amazing!
B2 literally shook with devastation it was just so overwhelming to watch
This series is soooo good! So many fantastic characters!
Thanks, Meg!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
C-3PO acted so bipolar towards R-2 all the time. First he’d get mad and then he’d love him…..:) ❤ your videos Meg!!
George Lucas has said that R2 and 3P0 were based on Abbott and Costello, which explains their relationship.
Hi Meg I was devastated for B2 and all the other droids who have lived through death like c3po and r2d2 really emotional video thank you SWM
I think B2 is also dying of age as well, everyone makes sure to remind it to charge itself, it stutters and has memory issues. it might be seeing its own deactivation in its future.
I cared for B2 and could feel his pain. I see him as a loyal pet. Pets get confused when their owners die and they have to find new homes.
In one way, since the Original 3 films, I have felt that the Droids in all the stories are there for us to identify with, they have no Jedi powers, aren't power merchants, but just ordinary 'people' we can share this magical universe with.
I think Lucas said R2 and 3P0 were taken directly from a samurai film he liked that had two characters who werent heroes but were the narrative sinews in an epic story.
I So agree hearing him speak with such loss and loneliness broke my heart, especially when he didn't want to leave making every excuse to stay wow!
I like B2, he is like having a pet, or a young child, but he is also capable of task well beyond those of a tauntaun or dew back.
I thought the scenes with B2 were heartbreaking. I don't know how I could come to feel that much for a droid, but hey, it happened.
Maarva is now dead, so why is Cassian returning to Ferrix? The only family he has left ... B2
I love B2 and I loved that he feels and mourns Ma-Marva.
You did one wonderful job on this clip and explain driods & driods in the SW galaxy.
How in the heck does R2’s arms fit in that Naboo fighter?!?!?
i loved b2 from the second that corellian hound pissed on him 😹
It seems to me that B2 is facing a sort of impending death. The droid is obsolete and has a charging issue that may not be repairable. The Star Wars universe clouds the lines between AI and sentience. The characters are written to mirror living creatures.
Yes, I feel this next show will see the destruction of B2, probably after being unable to contain his joy at seeing Kassian.
Brasso and B2 must be protected at all costs.
If something bad happens to B, I’m not going to be ok about it at all.
On the other hand, in TROS we meet D-O, a droid showing signs of traumatism.
Some of my favorite characters in star wars are droids. specifically, R2 and now B2.
i love B2 . i cried 😢 i wonder if she actually died or if b2 is lying like ive seen in other posts i guess well find out . same with the droids in kenobi with LOLA and NED-B
She died, I think it's going to be confirmed next week.
All the good people in Star Wars respect the droids. This is what sets Luke apart from Han and others right from the beginning…
I wasn't expecting B2EMO to be too emo...
"I don't want to be alone... I want MMM ...Maarva" in just one short pathetic [full of pathos, as the word originally meant] sentence B2EMO conveyed more depth and feeling than any character in Kenobi & Mando combined.
a wonderful new character - i'd happily watch a 3 movie Sidequel about this little guy.
B2 is awesome
Love B2emo ❤️ waiting for his pop to drop!
Obi wan: "You thank your droids?"
Andor: Gives us the best Droid in the galaxy.
honestly if a droid is never memory wiped, I can see them retaining a personality (like R2-D2 or Chopper) - and almost semi-sentient in a way.
The same emotions we have must be picked up by them. They even act with a parents love in giving their life up for them, i.e. K2SO in Rogue 1 (best SW film since 1983!)
Nice video! Thanks SW Meg. I watched the last episode of Andor twice and cried my eyes out both times in that scene… I love the way they mixed in Bix’s mental/ emotional turmoil into Emo’s. Gets me every time 😭
B2 will be sticking with Cassian till the end.....in a 3 meter tall K2 unit voiced by Alan Tuydik. I believe B2 will have his personality transferred to a K series droid, possibly in the end credits scene of the season 1 finale. Remember L3 had her personality transferred to the Millennium Falcon after her death so we know droids can "swap bodies".
I thought that aswell
I thought the same! What better way to tame an unempathetic KX than to give it some B2 energy???
...+ Nemik's Manifesto to boot!
I’m seriously thinking Emo will end up being uploaded in to K2SO.
Hadn't thought of that, good thinking!
Thanks 💗 Meg...great vid.
Thanks Meg! 🙏🏼
Master Meg. I would like to imagine in the future there is a different kind of droid. I have a concept for a vary basic type of droid that is more customizable than an astromech and BB8 style droid with more function than both. With different companion droids that also serve a function and can interact and play games with the main droid.
If I had a droid, I would want B2-EMO for sure.
Hey Meg’s. Don’t forget Chopper had P.T.S.D. Over Y-wings and the droid Army was plagued with power issues
star wars has by far the very best representation of robotics/ai relationship with humans… by far
hmm.. R2 & C3po had longevity I guess. we've now lost K2, L3, Ned, and now maybe B2emo.. hope that little sweetheart makes it though. love all these droids
B2 deserves to be up there with R2, C-3PO, K2SO, BB-8 and BD-1
though i dont much care for the show, this scene actually captivated me and punched me right in the feels. first time i was actually made to care about a character. so this droid is my favourite character haha
Hey Meg I had a theory- B2 is Ks20 well not him but cassian uploads his data and personality to the imperial droid
I got a feeling there is going to be a personality transfer from one droid to another.
I want a B-2 pop or figure and I'm 44yrs old 😂. He's my favorite droid now. I was never a big fan of droids either.
R4 gets decapitated.
Obi-Wan: Oh dear...
Cheers Meg!
I have also wondered what B2s function actually was, it’s never very clear. Perhaps it was programmed just to be a companion, in which case a great deal more emphasis would have been placed upon its ability to interact with sentient’s, in this case humans than on other tasks that droids can be useful for. Just a thought.
The robots are more mysterious than midichlorians!
My new favorite droid!
I don't know if this clarifies anything at all, but I've seen a discussion before on a forum and the understanding is that all droids are capable of sentience and ergo emotions, but many droids are prevented from having them through resets --- i.e. C3PO. But R2D2 probably has full sentience because he's hardly been reset at all. That will probably make the Droids the oldest slave race in the galaxy, since their existence predates humans and maybe even the Rakata.
Interesting to think what might happen with B2EMO. He's gone by the time of Rogue One, or at least isn't present. And Andor has a K2SO as a droid companion. What if the "consciousness" of K2SO is B2EMO? Andor reprograms (replaces?) K2SO with B2EMO's brain? Although, I guess if that were to be the case, K2SO would probably have been renamed B2EMO.
There’s a beloved droid character attached to most key storylines/Characters. So the upcoming Ashoka tale maybe the exception but let’s see😊
It’s not that droids can feel necessarily but they’re all manufactured with learning CPUs and programming and thus have the ability to ‘learn’ responses to events.
that droid B2EMO-tional
This always made me wonder what T3-M4 was going through after KOTOR II. B2 is one of my favourite characters in Andor, for me he's the talking less sassy R2-D2. R2 seemed to want to stop existing after Luke shutting himself away, until the chance of getting him back that is.
I understand the variety of droid emotes based on two things similar to the animal kingdom. The first factor is the complexity or programming of the droid. Secondly, we must consider the history of interactions the droid has with sentient beings. I think the quality and quantity of sentient interactions imprints on the droid over time. A death star droid would evolve much differently than a droid used exclusively in a home for a generation or more. A newborn donkey who imprints on a human within a few hours of birth will have a different personality than one who doesn't and adapts to human behavior to communicate. I think some droids who have become highly empathetic to pain in sentient beings will react to physical mistreatment out of conditioning, which is why Jabba's droids get that "tortured" out of them. He doesn't want empathetic droids who might protect those who disobey him.
Thanks Meg! This is the Way!♥
The comics based on Lucas's original script had R2 being nervous.
This is why I loved the episode of Visions so much that had the Jedi droid, TO-B1. I know it strays a bit from established canon, but I have always loved the possibilities of AI in Star Wars, and it just never seems to ever be used to its utmost. I wish the Droids show had gotten off the ground, not sure if it still will, but that could explore some of these ideas.
Makes the massacre of the droids in clone Wars season 7 finale that much worse 😪
In Star Wars, the tech is cludgy with old toggle switches and CRT displays… the galaxy instead did their science with organic beings. Examples like the Twilek and Togruda and a dozen other species that had common genes with the humans, also cloners like the Kaminoans. It is conceivable that in such a universe, that the droid intelligence is based in an organic core with intelligence on par with obedient servants or sentient pets… you might expand your thinking.
💔
I was AWESOME wasn’t Mrs. Meg?!
R2 shut down when Luke left
Did they adopt cass or did they more abducted him… and who is to say they weren’t responsible for shooting down the ship that poisoned everyone to begin with?
I read somewhere he becomes the black battle droid k2so
