Start Your Force Friday Off With A New BB Unit! It's The New Rage For The Whole Galaxy!

Yes, apparently a long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away you could walk into your local droid store & say whether you want a good or evil droid. I only say that because one look at this new BB unit & you can tell it's obviously a bad little bastard. BB-9E is what we'll be calling this new droid belonging to the First Order. It rolls around like BB-8, except it's got a black & grey finish, what resembles a mouse droid as a head, & a menacing red eye that seems to peer straight through your soul. Variety says Disney & Sphero, the designers of this toy version, describe the unit as a "rolling menace" saying it's part of the First Order's Astromech Unit, keeping starships & machinery operational. I guess it makes a lot of since that BB-8 is not the only one of it's kind, & if it's the current model of droid than it makes since the First Order would have a few. If this becomes a weird droid rivalry though, I don't know how on board I am. That could come all overtly silly, like beyond Jar-Jar silly. What do y'all think? One, on the make of the droid, but also if you think this is set up for a droid rivalry? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
