A clip featuring the character Biddy Blas from Star Wars: Galactic Racer has gained significant traction on social media, prompting a response from Lucasfilm Games Producer Craig Derrick.
Biddy Blas, a character from the game, has become a viral sensation due to his memorable voice lines, particularly his boastful introduction. In the game, Blas, a Crocin, is known for his dubious tactics, including offering a player a "gift" that is actually a bomb, designed to explode the recipient's ship and give opponents an advantage.
Derrick shared his amusement and appreciation for the fan attention on Twitter/X, stating, "It’s amazing to see so many people loving Galactic Racer! Thank you for all the kind words! Every one of my social feeds is filled with posts about the game… while the algorithm continues to properly prioritize Mister Biddy Blas. I love it."
Fans have affectionately embraced Blas, with some dubbing him the "glup shitto of the year" and joking about their in-game encounters with him. The game itself, Star Wars: Galactic Racer, has received positive reception, with IGN scoring it an 8 out of 10. The review noted its fast-paced anti-gravity racing and visual appeal, while also pointing out a tendency toward repetition due to a limited selection of revisited planets.
Developer Fuse Games has also announced that Star Wars: Galactic Racer will receive an update in the coming weeks that will double the multiplayer party limit.
