If you didn't think BB8 - the super cute round droid introduced to us in Star Wars: The Force Awakens - could get any more adorable, wait until you see it bowing to Princes William and Harry.

It met them as they strolled up the red carpet at the Royal European Premiere of Star Wars: The Last Jedi - and it seems it had been practicing for the moment.

Watch BB8 bow to Princes William and Harry below:

It's not the only cute thing to steal the thunder from the cast of the movie.

There's a new creature introduced in this film called Porgs.

One of the adorable new Porgs - seen in the trailer.

Daisy Ridley, who plays Rey, told us, "I love them, but everyone is so crazy about them I sort of feel like they're stealing all the thunder, and we worked really, really hard!"

Domhnall Gleeson also told us he "didn't realise the Porgs were going to be such a big deal until we started doing press and now all people want to talk about is the Porgs!"

According to the film's director, Rian Johnson, some of the crew had a problem with them, but for being "a little too adorable".

Joonas Suotamo, who stars as Chewbacca, spent a lot of time with the creatures and revealed, "it takes four or five people to make one Porg work, because you have one guy with the wings, one guy controlling the eyes, it's a really complicated process".

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is out in cinemas from 14th December.

You can watch the trailer below:
