A recent episode of Lucasfilm’s official Star Wars YouTube series, The Star Wars Show, revealed a new astromech droid that will be appearing in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The droid, called C2-B5, is an Imperial astromech droid.
The Star Wars Show host Peter Townley said “the Galactic Empire relies on astromech droids to maintain its machinery. But unlike the Rebel Alliance, Imperial technicians do not grant their droid independence and subject them to frequent memory wipes to keep them subservient”.
You can see the reveal of C2-B5 for yourself in the video below:
The official Star Wars Facebook page also posted the image of C2-B5 as can be seen below:
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is slated for release on December 16th, 2016.
Thoughts on this reveal? Are you looking forward to seeing C2-B5 in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story?
