Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker expects a small droid to bring substantial trouble. Calling it “little” makes a contrast with the size of the anticipated problem. The line expresses an unfavourable prediction about what lies ahead, without explaining what the droid will do or why it seems troublesome.
