Babu Frik (Star Wars: Episode IX: Rise of Skywalker)
Finally, it only took the entire saga, but someone created a race of aliens that are composed entirely of freaky little dudes. Babu Frik, a member of the Anzellan species, first appears in Rise of Skywalker and regardless of how you feel about that film, you can’t deny the allure of Frik.
Even famed director Steven Speilberg, reportedly after seeing an early version of the film, was so into Babu Frik that he was confused about what happened to the little dude. So apparently director JJ Abrams and ILM digitally added that shot of Frik popping up in an X-Wing cockpit at the end as a way of going “It’s okay everyone, your favorite tiny freak is alive and well.” Not sure if Speilberg had anything to do with these little freaks showing up in the most recent season of The Mandalorian on Disney+, though…
