Star Wars fans rejoiced when Lego unveiled its first BB-8 droid-building kit on Watch Vagabond OnlineForce Friday II, but many wondered: Is it really possible to build a scene-stealing sphere from almost 1,106 squares?
Yes, yes it is.
We enlisted the help of mega Star Wars fan and Lego pro Dan Ulanoff (the author's son) to build and document the process of constructing the 9-inch-tall BB-8 replica.

There's a well hidden knob on BB-8's left side for moving its Lego dome head is a very BB-8 fashion, and another on the right for extending the welding torch that BB-8 uses to give Finn a thumbs up sign in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. We don't know if BB-8 plans to use that tool again in the upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Now that we've completed this 1,106-piece build, we can't wait to get our hands on Lego's 7,541-piece Millennium Falcon due to ship next month. Wonder if Dan is up for the challenge.
