I think so. Is it because you thought the rest sucked, or because you really liked the droid? I liked that the droid really felt like it belonged in Star Wars, even if was a little weird. But since I like originality, I can't complain. The droid looks like it has an efficient design, assuming the technology is available to make its head stay on easily.

It's just hard to imagine what sort of tasks are suited to such an unusual looking droid. And some of us still have the lingering hangover of silly droids in the prequels, and the SE's. Not to mention Artoo flying, and being all CGI in shots that could have been done with the real prop.

I want to see more of Happy Fun Ball in action first. Might even be a minor character that ultimately proves the classic Astromech design is still the best. ;)
