Both were emotional, with Ridley crying tears of joy and Boyega unable to control his delight as he freaked out. Now, the official [Star Wars Instagram](https://instagram.com/starwarsmovies/) feed has shared footage of what may be the most important reaction to date. The [newest video](https://instagram.com/p/9HlyUSP7DE/?taken-by=starwarsmovies) features droid [BB-8](http://time.com/4061712/bb-8-pumpkin-star-wars-halloween/) getting its first look at the preview of the latest _Star Wars_ installation, and the results are truly adorable. Similar to Ridley, the spherical robot watched the trailer from the comfort of a bed. We hear Han Solo’s confirmation that the stories about the Dark Side and the Jedi are true, and BB-8’s head almost spins off its body in excitement. See the entire delightful reaction below: ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4083293/bb-8-reacts-star-wars-the-force-awakens-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4083293/bb-8-reacts-star-wars-the-force-awakens-trailer/"},"headline":"Watch BB-8's Adorable Reaction To the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer","datePublished":"2015-10-22T15:51:16.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:26:15.783Z","description":"This is not artificial emotion","url":"https://time.com/4083293/bb-8-reacts-star-wars-the-force-awakens-trailer/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","Star Wars topic","films","star wars: the force awakens"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4083293/bb-8-reacts-star-wars-the-force-awakens-trailer/","name":"Watch BB-8's Adorable Reaction To the Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer"}}]}] ```
