He's getting ready to star in the second season of Andor and he's a superstar in his own right but like all good droids he needs a bit of TLC, so watch Lee Towersey put B2-EMO Buzz through his paces. B2-EMO getting it’s first MOT by the one and only Mr Lee Towersey!! The process includes a visual inspection, build questions, and testing functions, before a driving test run for droid dependence and operator competency. Both passed with flying colours 😎👍🏽 Fantha Tracks will be at Droid Builders UK once again this summer, so stay tuned for our coverage of this always engaging and fascinating event and be sure to grab issue 227 of Star Wars Insider magazine for our visit to the Creature Cantina at Pinewood Studios where we spoke with Neal Scanlan, Lee Towersey and more. It arrives 20th August. [amazon box="B0D1DHYFYR"]

The action from the past weekends LA Comic Con continues as we head to the Droid Builders and their panel, allowing an insight into how these incredible droids are crafted and built. They were at Booth 1566 across the weekend, and if you visited them let us know on our Fantha Tracks socials. L.A. Comic Con took place at the Los Angeles Convention Center, 1201 South Figueroa Street, Los Angeles, CA 90015. Show Hours for the three-day event were: ❖ Friday, October 4: 1:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. ❖ Saturday, October 5: 9:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. ❖ Sunday, October 6: 9:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Meanwhile, Fantha were at FanX Live in Farnborough with numerous droid performers and designers including Lee Towersey, Hassan Taj, Brian Herring, John Fensom, Lynn Robertson Bruce, Jake Lunt Davies and Jack Parker and we'll be bringing you plenty of coverage from the event over the following days and weeks here on the site and on Making Tracks, which returns tonight at 7.00pm UK time with a look at the latest news and guests Richard Dillaine (Davo Skuldun from Andor) and Cecily Fay (caretaker from The Last Jedi).

You'll notice we've posted a few articles recently about our pals in Droidbuilders UK - and there will soon be more as we're heading to their 2024 get together in just a few short weeks - and here's their video from Manchester Megacon LIVE where a number of rascally robots roamed the halls, much to the delight of the crowds. Over at the Droidbuilders website, Darren Poulson wrote about the event. Arrived late Friday afternoon for setup, I located the entrance to the backlot of the venue. Thankfully I had done some investigation the night before on where to go, and the event organiser then sent some details through anyway. Venue staff were all friendly and super helpful which made it a whole lot easier. A quick unload of the gear and droids and a trek to the other side of the venue to find out area, and we put the stand together. Saturday morning and off to the event. 8am start for us, to be ready to entertain the early bird ticket holders at 9am. And then the fun started. A steady stream of people coming in the doors got to say Hi to R2 and other droids. It wasn’t the busiest event we’ve ever done, as there was another comic con on at the other side of Manchester which split the crowd. Tho a lot of people ended up doing both and splitting their days.
