The 'Star Wars' cast created adorable BB-8 redesigns for charity

BB-8 was the adorable orange-and-white droid from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" that rolled away with audience's hearts. Now, the droid has been radically redesigned for a great cause.  

Disney partnered with Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH) for a silent auction to raise money for the Great Ormond Street children's hopsital in London.

Warwick Davis, who played an ewok in "Star Wars — Episode VI: Return of the Jedi," redesigned BB-8 for her majesty the queen's birthday:
