BB-8's gesture to Finn

[Ithekro]

Only Jedi and Sith bother to use laser-swords since kyber crystals are rare and by the time of the Empire even more rare since the Empire keeps hording them all for weapons. A practice the First Order does as well.

We've seen Chewbacca and other welding on the Falcon.

Butane torch makes as much sense as a cigarette lighter. I doubt on space ships they do much welding/burning/soldering with butane when they have freakin laser-swords that can melt dense metals.

I'd like to see you solder some delicate wires/electronics with a light saber.

Use a teeny-tiny light saber, with a Kyber crystal the size of a grain of sand.

Can you do the fine electronic work required to keep a starship flying with a lightsaber? Wouldn't you want something less likely to cause permanent damage if the ship gets jostled?

Asking a question like "why does a mechanic droid have a particular tool" seems to miss the whole point of an astromech. They're walking toolboxes, that's why!

Seriously, how does this get to be a for page discussion? It was just a funny little bit. No need to over think it.

BB-8 was giving a return thumbs-up. It was just cute!
K2 in Rogue One might flip the bird, though...

I think we already agreed up thread that Rebels' Chopper definitely would.

That we did. Chopper sounds like a jerk. K2 was mouthy, but he did good things.

"Only because Cassian said I had to."

It's pretty clear it was a thumbs up, but for a second I also thought it was a flip-off, before I thought about it a little.
