Star Wars: Galactic Racer has earned attention for its fast arcade-style racing and polished presentation, but one supporting character has become the game’s unexpected online celebrity: Biddy Blas.
The high-pitched Crocin racer is only one of many non-player competitors encountered in single-player and online events. Yet his frantic delivery, huge ego, refusal to accept defeat and habit of shouting have made him far more memorable than his relatively minor role might suggest. You can learn more about a Crocin racer through the Star Wars fan reference.
Why players cannot stop talking about Biddy Blas
Since the game launched on console and PC earlier this month, Biddy has appeared across social media in jokes, reaction posts, memes, video edits, TikToks and Reddit discussions. Fans have embraced the character’s strange energy, with posts ranging from affectionate nicknames to deliberately exaggerated reactions to his behaviour on the track.
Some of the community’s posts include many, many, many jokes, while other players have shared memes and video edits. The attention can make Biddy look like the game’s lead character, even though he is simply one of the racers players meet during the campaign and online play.
His appeal seems to come from the combination of an unusual design, an abrasive personality and a voice that is impossible to ignore. He is also an entertaining nuisance during races, where he can smash competitors into barriers at speed and bring their runs to an abrupt end.
Richard Summers-Calvert responds to the attention
Biddy Blas is voiced by Richard Summers-Calvert, an independent British wrestler and actor. The sudden response has been gratifying for him, although he has also described the scale of the attention as potentially overstimulating.
Summers-Calvert has been sharing favourite Biddy memes and edits, replying to fans and posting thank-you videos. In one message, the actor said he was grateful and happy that people love Biddy Blas. He also encouraged fans to contact local comic conventions if they would like him to attend and sign autographs in character.
His videos include Biddy’s signature cry, “SCRIB DOON”, helping the line spread beyond the game itself. Summers-Calvert has also shown that he understands why audiences enjoy the character despite Biddy’s tendency to play dirty on the circuit.
A small racer with a large online following
The enthusiasm continued through posts using #BiddyBlas, including a message from Summers-Calvert thanking fans for their likes, comments and engagement. He acknowledged that much of the attention is directed at Biddy rather than himself, but said he benefits from the character’s popularity and appreciates the affection, frustration and even criticism surrounding the racer.
That unusual mix of admiration and irritation is part of Biddy’s appeal. He is not a heroic lead or a major plot figure; he is a loud, difficult competitor who has managed to dominate the conversation around a game built around speed.
For now, Biddy remains one of Galactic Racer’s supporting racers. The obvious next question from fans is whether a future downloadable expansion could let players take control of him and attempt to win the Galactic League tournament. Until then, his “SCRIB DOON” catchphrase has already secured him a memorable place in the game’s growing community.
