I have to agree with DL and DC on the TFA .
Instead of TFA they should have just called it Star wars the next generation like they did with star trek so we wouldn't have expected it to follow what George wanted and maybe then we wouldn't have been disapointed. That's my opinion.

'I'm too scared to embrace a heroic destiny, even though I got here by being brave so far. Oh, my arms are bound. Guess I'll embrace a heroic destiny by developing magic skills without a teacher.'
'I'll kill someone I don't want to kill because the big hologram told me to. I'll stand here while my opponent gathers their thoughts to destroy me. Ah, how did that backfire?'
I just wanted to get in on the TFA bashing. Other than that I'm fine. We're all fine here, now. Thank you. How are you?

Selfish passion is unquenching.
What strength have you when you are a slave to your passions?
What power without strength of character?
To self centered rage, you will be chained.
The dark side is no victory.
The long path to peace is through balanced emotions.
The first step to gaining knowledge is recognizing your own ignorance.
Serenity is patient, not passionate satisfaction.
Find harmony by understanding chaos.
Become one with the force, which will never die.

I like movies, Spider-Man, and lightsabers.
That's about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
My username and avatar may be of a villain, but I like Light Side points.

How does everybody understand BB-8, but R2 still needs 3PO to translate?

Luke and Anakin could understand him. Maybe they teach it in schools after 30 years. Finn couldn't understand him |

 Possibly because they picked up on what meant what from reading the translation on the flight console. |

BB-8 was basically like a kitten to her. People can understand their pets. BB-8 was her pet, therefore she could understand him.
The more important question is, how does one gender a droid, particularly one who does not communicate in an actual voice? Is it done by color?

Not everyone could understand BB-8, Finn couldn't. Through the expanded sources once can put together the answer. Rey, during her time on Jakku, picked up a lot of skills including speaking "Binary". From contextual clues it seems as if there are different "dialects" of Droid Binary, some within the 3 decades between the OT and now seem to have been able to be learned by Organics.
From the TFA Visual Dictionary:
"27th generation droid-speak code, a compressed variant of the most common astromech language"
From the Novelization we find out Chewie can speak to BB-8.....
"Striding effortlessly alongside, Chewbacca groaned assent. Behind Finn, BB-8 beeped a question to which the Wookiee readily replied. Droid and Wookiee then entered into a rapid-fire conversation, the sound of which made Finn’s head hurt."
As well it shows that BB used a different dialect to speak to R2...
"In the dark, dusty storeroom he rolled over to the R2 unit and beeped a greeting, the transmission sequence too rapid and too exhaustive for any human to follow. It didn’t matter. There was no response from the immobile R2 unit.
BB-8 tried again, utilizing a different droid language. When that also failed, he moved forward and gave the other mechanical a forceful nudge. Like everything else, that too failed to generate a response."
So, there is an answer.

"What's that BB? Finn fell in the sarlaac again?" Styling mostly. Voice imprint.    But realistically, it is just a machine and has no gender. Female astromechs never stop beep-booping

Yes obviously. I was more referring to astromechs and other droids that don't have any actual gendered styling cues or voice imprint. Aside from possibly color scheme, there is nothing about these droids that are any specific gender, yet they are typical referred to using male pronouns. A stark contrast to vehicles which are typically referred using female pronouns, despite also having no actual gendered features.... This especially considering the SW universe actually does not contain a true gender binary. A number of species have a variety of naturally occurring sexes(what most people really mean when they refer to gender) and genders....okay I'm done now. lol |
