BB-8's Windows XP makeover is the stuff of nightmares

Star Wars: The Force Awakens mascot droid turned from inspirational robotic pal into a 2001 disaster with the help of Microsoft's operating system

Everyone knows that Star Wars: The Force Awakens is actually an uplifting story about a little robot named BB-8 overcoming adversity with the help of his human servants. But that feelgood film quickly turns into a horror movie with the introduction of Windows XP.

YouTuber Brian Elder took BB-8 and gave him a 2001 makeover, complete with Microsoft's best hits such as critical stop, Windows XP shut down, Clippy and even the classic ImgBurn "I've just made a coaster out of your recordable CD" error.
