Apparently the "soccer ball droid" as it is currently known, is an homage to an original concept from Ralf Mcquarrie, I think it's great to have the occasional nod to things from the past. I have seen posts knocking it, hell, I even made one, but when you think about it, it is still pretty cool. just don't turn it into another Jar Jar.
