Colbert could have just said the hilt was made of mandalorian iron or any of the other substances that light sabres can't cut through. That was a point made clear during EP1 when the trade federation guys were trying to kill two Jedi's and they locked them in room made out of marshmallows...
Speaking of which, what do they use when they make lightsabers? Butter? They use butter because force wielding techno wizards are stupid idiots when they make their own lightsabers? heh.
that was awesome! and the stenceil painting thing. wtf was that? it was so cool
He was using the stencil painting tools in Mudbox for that. They're pretty powerful and simple to use, but Zbrush has Mudbox beat in basically every other area.
im all exited for this new one too, but a voice in me is saying "remember all the hype for the previous movies ?" this is going to come and go, there is nothing to see here, move on.
R2-D2 wasn't a robot, he was a guy in a suit (Kenny Baker). In the newer films they may have done some practical stuff, but he was mostly CGI.
BB-8 is kind of neat though. I do like what I've seen from the latest trailer, it does seem like they're getting the look and feel down right and in line with the original trilogy, though naturally a little more modern. I just hope they don't go overboard with the action scenes and that the writing is en-point.
there were two units in the first movie, a guy in a suit & a RC robot. For the prequels, they built an entire fleet of more advanced radio controlled units.
There's some speculation that there might be a remote control BB-8 toy in the works. There's a "Star Wars themed toy" in development at a robotics studio that was recently mentored by Disney. I know which robot I'd throw some money down for.

So basically they're coming up with a license to print money?
If they come in a few different sized versions i'll definitely pick one up

Kyle Katarn is in a grave even deeper than the one where disney buried the non canon stuff.

My guess is it is magnetically locked to a counter weight balanced inner robot in the ball, and the head is on bearings.
