13 Early Predictions For Star Wars Episode IX

1. BB-8 & BB-9E Will Fight To The Death

One of the goofiest elements from The Last Jedi was the brief introduction of an evil BB-8, a black First Order equivalent named BB-9E (the E is for evil!).

It seemed like the two droids would have some sort of showdown in the movie, but it never came to pass. If there's any justice in the world, fans will get to see the ultimate Star Wars grudge match between light and dark in Episode IX, as BB-8 and BB-9E do epic battle.

It'd be fundamentally daft, but remember, this is a franchise about space wizards and their magical laser swords, so let's not take things too seriously, yeah?
