Lucasfilm Games producer Craig Derrick praised the quick online surge surrounding Star Wars: Galactic Racer after fans turned an alien pilot named Biddy Blas into a viral gaming hit. Social feeds filled with short clips of the boastful character introducing himself in Huttese, and Derrick thanked players for enjoying the speeder release. The production team partnered with UK studio Fuse Games to build high-speed racing for PC and consoles [1].
Craig Derrick Celebrates Viral Biddy Blas Fandom
Twitter user NIB sparked the online wave on October 6, 2026, by sharing a video clip of Blas delivering funny lines with laughing skull emojis. Players took to the boastful lines right away and passed the clip around until the alien racer became a familiar meme [1].
Derrick reacted to the flood of posts from players, saying it’s wonderful to see people enjoying the game while laughing at how the feed algorithm boosted the character. “It’s amazing to see so many people loving Galactic Racer!” he wrote. “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.” His cheerful message showed that developers were following player reactions each day [1].
Fans began calling Blas the “glup shitto of the year” while sharing stories about their rough races against him on different circuits. One fan joked that they would die for Blas, but they had also slammed him into a wall at 500mph several times during heats [1]. Players find that it’s a natural fit for the arcade mood, as both Galactic Racer and Criterion Games’ 2008 release Burnout Paradise reward pilots who ram opponents off the track [2].
Huttese Dialogue Turns Crocin Pilot Into Social Sensation
Blas belongs to the Crocin species, and he’s known for bragging about his speed before engines even start up. In Huttese, Blas tells the player: “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!” His big ego turned that opening speech into an instant favorite [1].
The line “Biddy Blas! Scrib doon!” turned into a catchy phrase that players repeated on social platforms. The pilot’s loud Huttese shout quickly became a common line across the community. Virginia Glaze of IGN said she couldn’t stop saying the words in daily conversation. Her own friends were already tired of hearing the phrase. Behind the silly talk sits a sneaky rival who will do anything to win a race, including handing the player an apparent gift that holds a hidden bomb. If a racer accepts the package, the engine blows up on the spot and gives other speeders a head start. One player joked that Blas was hilarious but deserved to die [1].
Tricky rivals force drivers to stay alert during every lap of the tour. In Galactic Racer, pilots speed through dangerous tracks where one bad turn or sneaky trap can ruin a good run, so there’s always a need to protect a lead instead of just relying on pure speed [2]. That mix of humor and danger keeps people coming back for more heats [1].
Lucasfilm Games Connects Speeder Action to Classic Racers
It’s a project that connects straight to the roots of Star Wars console racing. Back on April 30, 1999, Lucasfilm Games joined Aspyr, Nintendo, and Disney Interactive to launch Star Wars Episode 1: Racer on the Nintendo 64, winning over many players who loved pushing hovercraft through tight turns. Aden Carter of DualShockers said that Galactic Racer feels like the remake fans wanted, as it keeps a similar HUD and quick steering while replacing classic podracers with repulsorcraft speeders [2].
Instead of a simple sprint to the finish line, the title uses a rogue-like loop built around tokens. Drivers risk their tokens in each heat, losing them when they wreck and earning them back as they advance until they finish the tour. Carter said this setup creates a fun risk and reward loop that isn’t common in standard racing games. Each lap carries real weight as pilots try not to crash [2].
That mix of speed and car destruction mirrors other classic titles that Carter suggested for fans of the game. Criterion Games showed in Burnout Paradise how fun big crashes can be, and Electronic Arts brought that game back in 2018 with extra content under an E10+ rating. A similar rough combat style appears in Pixel Dash Studios’ Road Redemption, which Tripwire Interactive launched on October 7, 2019, letting players fight with baseball bats and shotguns on motorcycles [2].
Fuse Games Prepares Expanded Multiplayer for Galactic Racer
Solid reviews helped give the game a strong start before the social memes took off. Reviewer Luke Reilly of IGN gave the title an 8 out of 10 score, praising its blistering speed while saying that running through the same small set of planets can feel repetitive. Reilly wrote that the game “has successfully lit the afterburners on a long-dormant slice of the Star Wars universe,” showing that speeder combat still appeals to players today [1].
Early praise for the reviews of Star Wars: Galactic Racer pointed to its slick vehicle control and antigravity drifts, showing that fans were eager for an arcade comeback. Developer Fuse Games doesn’t plan to leave the game as it is, having shared that party limits in multiplayer will soon double through an update coming in the next few weeks. The larger lobbies will allow more friends to join private lobbies together, making online sessions even livelier as pilots battle through tight chicanes [1].
Bigger party caps will pull Galactic Racer closer to other chaotic multiplayer titles in the genre. Caged Element’s Grip: Combat Racing, launched by Wired Productions on February 2, 2016, supported up to 10 players in wild arenas where rockets flew along wall and ceiling tracks [2].
How Lucasfilm Games Built on Star Wars Racing History
Many players seeing the viral clips have asked about the role of Lucasfilm Games, wondering how the team works under Disney. The label works with outside studios to make Star Wars games without running large internal teams, letting specialized developers handle the software. Derrick’s quick replies on Twitter/X show that there’s close attention paid by Lucasfilm Games to fan discussions. That attention helped fun moments like Biddy Blas’s speech find a bigger audience [1].
Futuristic racing includes plenty of other options for players who want to try different styles after beating the tour. Carter pointed to Redout 2, made by 34BigThings and published by Saber Interactive on June 16, 2022, as a fast sci-fi title with bright courses and deep craft customization. Other indie examples include Distance, which arrived on December 9, 2014, with parkour wall-riding and Steam workshop tracks, and BallisticNG, which pays tribute to older titles like Wipeout, Rollcage, and Jet Moto [2].
Whether through past tributes or fun new pilots like Biddy Blas, speeder racing hasn’t lost its dedicated following [2]. Derrick’s friendly post proves that great characters don’t need hours of cutscenes to win people over when funny voice lines hit the spot. As Fuse Games works on its multiplayer update, players won’t stop shouting “Scrib doon!” as they speed through the stars [1].
