“New movie, new toys”: Fans joke as BDX Droids debut on ‘The Mandalorian & Grogu’ set

BDX Droids are finally marching out of Disney park exhibits onto the big screen, and we've just seen them for the first time in all their adorable, scene-stealing glory.

Having made their initial appearance at Disney events throughout last year, BDX Droids delighted attendees by zipping from here to there, chatting with people, and adding a special zip to Star Wars attractions. Now, finally the first look at BDX Droids on the set of The Mandalorian & Grogu has been revealed.

At The Future of World-Building at Disney panel at SXSW, Jon Favreau sat down with Imagineers Leslie Evans and Asa Kalama to discuss what's in store for Batuu - including, naturally, BDX Droids. To top it all, the droids themselves rolled out onto the stage, because who needs to describe them when they can make an entrance of their own?

As soon as the news came out, someone took to their X account and commented:

"New movie, new toys"

One X fan beautifully summed up the truth about BDX Droids - new film, new toys. And let's be real, BDX Droids aren't just driving into the Star Wars franchise; they're driving right onto store shelves and into our bank accounts.

Disney is well aware of what they're doing - first, they make BDX Droids irresistibly adorable on the screen, then all of a sudden, they're everywhere, blinking, beeping, and telling us we must have at least three of them. It's the Grogu Effect once more, and all resistance is futile.

Before we get to the fan reactions, let's give a quick nod to the inescapable might of BDX Droids. In mere beeps and cute wobbly gait, they've already conquered theme parks, film sets, and now our hearts.

Whether or not fans are going crazy over how adorable they are, cracking jokes about Disney's endless merch empire, or just here to see the madness ensue, one thing is for sure - BDX Droids have landed, and the internet has a lot to say about it.
