Thanks to Force Friday, i.e., the most glorious day for Star Wars fans (after May the 4th and the release date [1] of the next movie, of course), we're getting to see the new toys that are being released [2] for Star Wars: The Last Jedi [3]. As is tradition, the toy releases also include character releases, and besides some badass new female characters [4], there's one droid everyone's going to be talking about: BB-9E.
Looking like a version of BB-8 that rolled through black and silver paint, BB-9E is the dark side's answer to the galaxy's most adorable droid. BB-9E is described as "part of the astromech unit of the First Order that keep their starships and machinery operational," and of course, everyone is going to want their own BB-9E (like the cute Funko POP! figurine), making him the perfect holiday gift for all your friends who are just slightly more evil than your other ones.
