Star Wars: Galactic Racer’s Biddy Blas Actor Expresses Gratitude Amid Overwhelming Fan Support

If you’ve been browsing the web lately, you might have stumbled upon the rising fanbase for Biddy Blas, the standout character from Star Wars: Galactic Racer. This quirky, fast-talking reptilian racer has captured the hearts of many with his eccentric personality, grandiose delusions, and, let’s be honest, his rather grating voice. The actor behind Blas is feeling “overwhelmed” by the character’s popularity and is grateful for the enthusiastic responses.

When Star Wars: Galactic Racer hit consoles and PC earlier this month, it received glowing reviews, and I expected to see plenty of chatter about how fantastic the game is, with many calling it one of the year’s best racing titles. While the game has garnered acclaim for its arcade racing thrills and stunning visuals, I didn’t foresee the internet’s infatuation with Biddy Blas, a Crocin racer who despises losing and loves to shout.

Over the past week, this new Star Wars character has been the subject of countless jokes, tweets, memes, video edits, TikToks, Reddit posts, and more. If you weren’t paying attention, you might think Biddy Blas is the main character or a key figure in Galactic Racer, but he’s actually just one of many NPC racers you encounter in both single-player and online modes.

Yet, there’s something about Biddy Blas that resonates with fans, especially those who appreciate quirky characters, leading to his unexpected rise to stardom.

Biddy Blas is voiced by indie UK wrestler and actor Richard Summers-Calvert, who seems genuinely thrilled by the sudden fame, even if it feels a bit “overstimulating.” He’s been sharing his favorite Biddy Blas memes and video edits on social media, engaging with fans, and posting videos expressing his gratitude.

“I am so, so grateful and so, so happy that everybody loves Biddy Blas,” he said in a recent video. He also encouraged fans to reach out to local comic cons and conventions if they want him to make an appearance and “scrib doon” some autographs.

In his videos, you can hear him enthusiastically shouting SCRIB DOON, one of Biddy’s now-iconic lines. He acknowledges that Biddy can be a bit of a menace on the racetrack, known for slamming opponents into walls at high speeds, often ruining their runs. Classic Biddy.

“I just want to say thank you again for all the likes, comments, engagements, and everything,” Summers-Calvert expressed in another video. “I know you’re doing it for Biddy. I know you’re doing it for him, but I benefit from him as well. I appreciate all the love…and hate, and frustration. And I just want to say thank you one more time. It probably won’t be the last time. So there you go. SCRIB DOOOON!”

Now, when can we expect a Biddy Blas DLC expansion for Star Wars: Galactic Racer that lets us play as this little troublemaker and help him clinch victory in the Galactic League tournament?
