Right, so you know the little robot that rides on your shoulder like a parrot inStar Wars Jedi: Fallen Order? They’re doing a big ol' Lego kit of it. It’s pretty big! It stands “over 12.5 in. (31 cm) tall,” which, and this is hilarious and I cannot make it up, the Lego website says makes a “Fun centerpiece for any room.”
Either way, it’s cute, with posable joints and a head that tilts about. There’s also a transparent bit on the back of its head, which BD-1 uses to signal its emotions—like green for happy, or red for when you’re running out of health.True to its real job in the game, which is healing Cal when he’s hurt, the BD-1 Lego kit has a compartment for a stim canister. Probably can’t climb up ziplines, though. Probably.
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was a pretty big hit when it came out in 2019, and just a few days ago we learned that a sequel is coming in 2023:Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Here’severything we know about Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
