J.J. Abrams at an event for Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
Meet Bb-8's New Friend Dio in The Rise of Skywalker
J.J. Abrams at an event for Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
J.J. Abrams introduced the crowd at Star Wars Celebration to a new droid from The Rise of Skywalker today. He is a buddy of Bb-8, and could very well be the droid we've heard so many rumors about involving Keri Russell's character. The new droid is named Dio and he is very simple looking, but as both Bb-8 and R2-D2 prove, looks don't really have anything to do with abilities and powers. Dio kind of looks like a broken bullhorn on a unicycle.

The Dio who appeared at Star Wars Celebration was actually custom built for the event. J.J. Abrams also showed off some concept art for Dio and it looks like his look may have been based on a duck or at some point the design went in that direction. He has a face, which is a bit like a duck's bill, but the comparison ends there.
