The Rise of Skywalker was a freaking nightmare, but it had one bright spot: a tiny Anzellan droidsmith named Babu Frik. And now the cute little guy will be making the jump to Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga when it launches later this year.
āI think fans of the new trilogy will be pleased to hear that Babu Frik is making an appearance as a playable character,ā Dawn McDiarmid, lead hub designer at Travellerās Tales, said in the latest issue of OPM UK. āHe is possibly one of the cutest things I have ever seen.ā

Itās rumored that Babu Frik so endeared himself to Steven Spielberg that, after an early screening, the legendary director asked about the characterās fate when he wasnāt present in the filmās finale. It turns out Frik was originally meant to die during the destruction of his home planet until he was digitally inserted into a later scene. If only the rest of the movieās problems could be fixed so easily
Apologies to fellow Kotaku writer Zack Zwiezen, but Yaddle is old news. A playable Babu Frik is game-changing. Now all Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga needs to do is include Glup Shitto to become the greatest Star Wars game of all time.
