Biddy Blas, a reptilian character from Star Wars: Galactic Racer, has taken over social media with fan-made skits, memes, and thirst traps. His shrill Huttese barks and tiny stature have made him an unlikely star, with a greater reach and impact than the game's high review scores. Richard Summers-Calvert, the voice behind Blas, says he knew he had created something special, but had no idea it would be this successful and positive.
The contrast of Blas being a boisterous presence trapped in a small package is what makes him so funny. Summers-Calvert, who also goes by the name Charles Crowley in professional wrestling, says Blas' charisma is what makes him invaluable and a joy to bring to life as an actor. He credits his late mother, a stuntwoman, stand-up comic, and actor, for inspiring him to embrace his energy and not be afraid to look silly.
