The Resistance Broadcast – Will R2-D2 Have an Important Role in The Rise of Skywalker?

Where is R2-D2? From the leaked poster (that turns out is real), to the official teaser for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and other places as well, R2-D2 is nowhere to be found. Is this on purpose? Does R2-D2 play a pivotal role in the final chapter of the Skywalker saga? It would make sense as he was the one who started it all, carrying the Death Star plans in A New Hope. We discuss all the possibilities about R2-D2's potential role in Episode IX, and why we think he is being hidden from major promotional material thus-far.

We also bring back our segment Will of the Force where we answer questions like: Will Kylo Ren be a Sith in The Rise of Skywalker? We close things out by featuring the best of your tweets in Resistance Transmissions!

The Resistance base is open to all, so spread the word about TRB and join us!
