I always understood the BB8 saga as Disney looking for a toy company to work with then designing a movie character that fit into the company’s capabilities. So it wasn’t luck as much as a single large enterprise contract that swallowed any other focus.

I mean it was probably less Disney looking for a toy company and Disneys cEO being a Sphero investor and I believe on the board.
