It is Star Wars, cheesy dialogue is to be expected. IMO.
So like Star Wars.

Why do you guys think Like is talking to?
What spoiler? That artwork is from the Force Unleashed game.
There's a difference between cheesy but endearing and cheesy pandering. I don't hate the line though.
If they can get working models of this into toy stores for Christmas....lots of money will be made.
You know, I never do the "I'M CRYING MAN TEARS" thing, but that actually did choke me up a little bit.

Hamill sounds great.

Especially if they somehow manage to release a remote controlled version of BB-8.

I'm curious what the context of the "Chewie... we're home." line comes from. It seems as if Han has been separated from the Falcon for some time, judging by how somber the line is delivered. Chewie also has his crossbow raised, which makes me wonder if the Falcon is being commandeered.

Why does his head tilt down as he moves, while in the first teaser that doesn't happen?

I'm guessing the "running" one is CG.

First teaser must have been CGI. ;D

That's my thought. Someone has had the falcon for a while; maybe Poe? Haha, only other pilot we know of so far.

once he gets moving I'm sure he can level his head.

They confirmed the running one was a practical effect IIRC.

My guess is that it's a mix of CG and not in the movie. The actual BB 8 may not be able to move that fast.

It looks amazing. The franchise was dead to me, but this captures the excitement from the original trilogy.

It's amazing that it is real, absolute respect to the puppeteering team, but I thought it had to be CG because its surface has such a matte finish. It looks a bit flimsy compared to R2, to be honest. But again, amazing job in creating it, and props to JJ for not pulling a Lucas and making it CG. I'm really curious how the head free-spins like that on its ball-body.

Watch the panel. Not only is it real, it's fucking adorable.
lol at all the cameras instantly going up
Pretty sure they can rig it with wires/puppeteer string and do that.
Well the books that came after ROTJ went into Han living the high profile hero life with Leia and never being able to fly the Falcon. Might be a similar deal here. That's just a guess.
What.
I think that it's designed to move fast and that the head tilting forward to counter balance at a slower speed.

If it's practical, my mind literally can't comprehend it haha. I look at the running shot and go, "yeah that's obviously CG" every time even if I know it's not.
mind. blown.

They mentioned puppeteers so that is my guess.

Loved it for the most part. I dislike the fast zoom effect I spotted near the end hopefully there isn't going to be too much used for the flight battles.
Also the "Chewie we're home line" felt really cheesy like some SNL skit.
It's Star Wars, it is allowed some level of cheese. Harrison Ford looked fantastic as Han Solo!

Probably a lot more difficult to operate live, and in Teaser 1 it looks like he has a lot of momentum to keep him up. BB-8 makes me very excited. I'd love it if they used more practical effects like in the original trilogy for the space battles and stuff.

This is a very plausible theory. Maybe he's long separated from his former life with the Falcon, and this is a bittersweet reunion scene.
Magnets and gyroscopes. Check that XKCD comic a few pages back for the schematic
*purchases hamster ball and Raspberry pi just laying around*
I would need a bunch of other equipment; but I think, given time and ingenuity, $300 might be realistic. Fans will/probably have replicated BB8 to a degree already.
Could also be different props, close up and action shots. One is more suited for slow and character takes, the other is used in high speed situations.
We need a U WOT M8 version of this asap

Just watched the chewy we're home part like 25 times in a row
Yeah, that's a good point.
Man, BB-8 is so cute, I want one. Wonder if it's possible for them to release a decent remote controller toy or something?

I loved the trailer. Im happy to see Han Solo and Chewy back on the big screen again.
Also How does BB8 even work?? Im betting a downsized version is going to be the hot new Toy for Christmas...

Wonder if Kenny Baker was in that R2-D2.
Check the previous page. The XKCD comic should give an idea how the system works.

This might be lost in translation, but BB-8 reminds me of the little Mushroom guy from this Fantasia piece:
