J.J. Abrams introduced the crowd at Star Wars Celebration to a new droid from The Rise of Skywalker today.
The droid Dio from The Rise of Skywalker certainly did not have a voice like Ronnie James Dio at Star Wars Celebration, but he might be a tribute to the late front man who died of cancer in 2010.
The Dio who appeared at Star Wars Celebration was actually custom built for the event.
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.
