8. The New R2-D2 – A Football Droid?!
As much as we all love R2-D2, bringing him back in a lead role similar to the one he’s played in the previous movies would feel redundant. The beloved droid will of course return, and we’ll undoubtedly get to enjoy more of his antics, but based on the fact that this unique looking creation appears to be on the same desert planet as Boyega and Daisy Ridley, it could be the sidekick to this trilogy’s new set of heroes. 30+ years have passed since Return of the Jedi, so it’s possibly the standard look for R2 units nowadays!
Regardless, you can already imagine the toy version flying off shelves this time next year, and it does look pretty damn loveable…. even if it does resemble a football!
