Star Wars Episode 9 Trailer Breakdown: 16 Things You Need To See

9. BB-8 & D-O

BB-8 made an enemy in The Last Jedi, with First Order droid BB-9E, but he's got a new friend this time around.

Wheeled out during the panel and briefly glimpsed in the teaser, this is D-O - or Dio - who will buddy up with BB in the movie, but also according to previous reports annoy him too. Which makes sense, given it's basically just a hairdryer on a wheel. Still, Abrams struck droid gold with BB-8 in The Force Awakens, and hopefully Dio can have a similar impact (but if so, it's less instantaneous).
