We already know that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker will be the last film in the Skywalker Saga. But what are the chances that R2-D2 will finally get into the action again? It looks like the teasers have already confirmed that Artoo will be replacing BB-8 as Poe Dameron's X-Wing co-pilot.
The evidence was spotted by an eagle-eyed Star Wars fan who immediately shared the screencap on Twitter. Check it out below.
It's an awesome confirmation that R2-D2 is still the droid to turn to when you need someone to help you out in your X-Wing. Additionally, it's great to know that Artoo will be doing a lot more than just sulking around hiding maps and stuff. (In case you where the screencap is from, it's in the 0:29 mark below).
But what could this mean for BB-8? Will the adorable new droid just step aside freely and allow R2-D2 to take over? We're hoping that this is the case since we don't want anything to happen to BB-8. Perhaps he'll be helping Finn out instead, as long as the droid also gets some piece of the action.
R2-D2 has been used sparingly in two of the Star Wars trilogy films so we're loving how it looks like the droid will play an important role just like C-3PO. Needless to say, we can't wait to see both of them in action this December.
The synopsis for The Rise of Skywalker reads as follows:
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hits theaters on December 20.
