Bobbajo is the most newish reveal in a new Entertainment Weekly gallery of photos that drops a few more scene-specific plot hints, though probably not much more than you’ve already guessed. There’s definitely an old-school Henson feel to this dude, though that name seems a bit on the nose – a character who looks like a poor rural dweller is kinda named Bobby Joe? I guess it beats that one named for a Beastie Boys album, though neither one gives me a ton of faith that JJ will have better naming skills than George Lucas, who gave us Elan Sleazebaggano.

As editor of The Robot's Voice since 2012, he can take the blame for the majority of the site's content, all of which he creates because he loves you very, very much. (Although he loves nachos more. Sorry.)
