There's Going To Be An Evil Version Of BB-8 In "The Last Jedi" And OMG It's Still Cute AF

    *Sinister beep-boop*

    So you all know BB-8, the cute as fuck lil' droid who stole the show and all of our hearts in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

    He's so cute that Rey literally chooses him over food at a defining moment in the film.

    And he's got a bigger cult-following than pretty much anyone in the galaxy.

    Well, hold onto your fucking tits everyone because this week it was revealed that BB-8 will have his own arch-nemesis in The Last Jedi, enter: BB-9E.

    There's a new disturbance in the Force. Introducing the First Order's latest menace, BB-9E. https://t.co/nSX5fVOcMt… https://t.co/zdKExzBIrb

    OH MY GOD, GUYS, WE MUST PROTECT THEM.

    The new @starwars toy from @Sphero is BB8's evil twin, BB-9E: https://t.co/bM2HMJFS8V

    And, naturally, BB stans are freaking the sweet fuck out because, first of all, how dare you.

    @Leask @GeekyLyndsay you vs the guy she tells you not to worry about

    The only thing missing from BB-8's evil twin is a twirly mustache! #BB9E

    While others are having some major feelings.

    why do i already have a crush on evil bb-8

    When you insist you're a bad boy but you're so darn cute that no one believes you #BB9E

    BB-9E is my son. I claim him. I call dibs. Everyone else go home.

    *Snake Emojis*

    I'm sorry, the old BB-8 can't come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, because he's dead. #BB9E

    As if this all wasn't perfect enough, director Rian Johnson revealed that BB-9E went by a different nickname on set.

    @mattsinger Just be thankful we didn't stick with his obscenely adorable on set nickname, BB-H8

    So check out the toy trailer below where BB-9E makes his first brooding cameo as the emo droid of our dreams.

    My new aesthetic is going to be BB-9E formally BB-H8
