All the newfangled Last Jedi toys reveal yesterday were mostly based on things we already know are going to be in the fresh motion picture , fromprecious porgstoangry - look gravid walkers . But one plaything in exceptional in reality gave us our first look at the chapiter ship Snoke calls home .
These images come from the app used to control ’s Sphero ’s new droid toy , BB-9E , a.k.a “ BB - H8″ , the evil BB - unitfirst formally unveiled yesterday . Each of the three droids the company has released for Force Friday II — BB-8 , the marvelous raw R2 - D2 , and now BB-9E — can pull up “ holographic ” augment reality recreations of ships from the Star Wars universe that you could guide on them around , give away factoids and images of each watercraft .
R2 gets the Millennium Falcon , BB-8 gets the Raddus ( a Modern Resistance ship from The Last Jedi named after Rogue One ’s Mon Calamari admiral ) , but BB-9E gets the Supremacy , none other than the flagship of the First Order fleet . We got some men - on time with BB-9E thanks to Force Friday II , and were able to pull a few images of the new ship from his practical go
As well as get down to trundle around a hologram - blue AR version of the ship , the Sphero app also perpetrate up images and item about the Supremacy , allow us get a right expression at it . The boomerang - looking ship is described as a Mega - Class Star Destroyer ( the only one of its form ) and the home base of the First Order , the ship Snoke was hiding on in the unknown region of space to keep the First Order ’s rise a closed book .
Another ikon says that the Supremacy makes its presence sleep with in the motion-picture show thanks to the First Order ’s pyrrhic victory in The Force Awakens . When Snoke ostensibly smell out that the New Republic ’s fleet and the Senate have been destroyed by Starkiller Base , it looks like he decides the time is correct for the First Order and its fleet to come in out of hiding and make its veridical play for astronomical dominance .
The Supremacy decidedly stands apart from the residuum of the First Order designs we ’ve seen from The Last Jedi , mainly because it look unlike anything we ’ve see in the galaxy far , far off before rather than an update of any Imperial design . A Super Star Destroyer this ai n’t ! Last Jedi director Rian Johnsondid say that the newfangled toy dog would n’t have any major mollycoddler about the movie , but that apart , I guess it ’s thematically appropriate for a midget little droid to bind some vital new info about the Star Wars galaxy though , is n’t it ?
We ’ll see the Supremacy in action when Star war : The Last Jedi polish off theaters December 15 .
