Star Wars: Galactic Racer's Biddy Blas goes viral and Lucasfilm Games producer loves it

A minor NPC from Star Wars: Galactic Racer has become the breakout star of the game's launch window. Biddy Blas, a Crocin racer with an enormous ego and zero self-awareness, has taken over gaming social media thanks to a single unforgettable introduction clip.

In the scene, Blas addresses the player in Huttese — translated as "Here's a name for you, amateur! Biddy Blas. Write it down. Tattoo it on your arm, and someday your arm will be worth millions!" — but it's the voice acting that sent the clip viral. The Huttese delivery of "Biddy Blas! Scrib doon!" has become an involuntary vocal stim for a significant chunk of the internet. Beyond the bravado, Blas is also genuinely dangerous in-game: he'll offer players a "gift" that turns out to be a bomb, blowing up their ship and handing opponents a head start. Lucasfilm Games executive producer Craig Derrick acknowledged the wave on X on October 7, writing: "The algorithm continues to properly prioritize Mister Biddy Blas. I love it."

Galactic Racer, developed by Fuse Games, has landed well with critics — IGN gave it an 8/10, praising its looks and speed while noting a thin planet roster, and PC Gamer landed at a 76. The game revives the pod-racing corner of Star Wars that has been largely dormant since the original Star Wars Episode I: Racer in 1999. Blas himself fits neatly into the "Glup Shitto" tradition — the fan-coined term for obscure Star Wars background characters that somehow become community obsessions. His species, the Crocin, previously appeared in Solo: A Star Wars Story, though Blas is the first to claim a Huttball career and a stint as a jatz trumpeter.

Fans are split between adoration and revenge fantasies — one player noted they'd "die for Biddy Blas" while also having "slammed him into a wall at 500mph multiple times," and another vowed to kill him after accepting his explosive gift. Fuse Games has a post-launch patch coming in the next few weeks that will double the multiplayer party limit, so there will be plenty more opportunities to either befriend or obliterate Mister Blas.
