Like all good movie trailers, the one for the final film in the “Star Wars” series, “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” raises more questions than it answers.

But there’s one especially big question nagging people on Twitter: Why is BB-8 hanging around with a hair dryer unicycle?

The appliance-like droid is named Dio, according to IGN, which offered no other details.

Naturally, you can’t tease a character that looks like that and not get the Twittersphere speculating. One personal care appliance in particular kept being mentioned:

“Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” will premiere Dec. 20.
