BB-8 is Donkey

Every cinema hero must have a sidekick. In The Force Awakens, Ren met BB-8 early in the film, and he became her loyal assistant. Marylet Datuin (Thyoungwolf) noticed the resemblance between that scene with one in another movie, and decided that the only way to improve BB-8 would be to give him Eddie Murphy’s voice. I cannot embed the video, so you’ll have to go to No Rest for the Wicked to see, but you’ll be glad you did. -via Digg
