Baby Yoda isn't the only adorable creature that viewers have come to love. Ever since The Rise of Skywalker was released, Star Wars fans have also taken a liking on Babu Frik, a tiny and adorable droidsmith that works alongside Spice Runners. The character didn't have much of a screentime, but he did make a mark. And now, Lucasfilm has released an extended scene of the creature from the movie.
When Rey and the rest of the gang went to Kijimi to ask for help from Zorii Bliss. She led them to the droidsmith who could lend a hand in making C-3PO translate the writings on the Sith Dagger. Babu Frik could make this possible, but there's a catch - C-3PO's memory would be erased in the process.
The character also had a line that fans found really cute, which is when 3PO introduced himself once again after having his memory erased. No one answered back to the droid though, but the creature did. "I, Babu Frik," he said, in a really adorable voice. Babu Frik was voiced by Shirley Henderson, who is known for her role as Moaning Myrtle from the Harry Potter franchise.
When Episode IX got released, some fans are even choosing Babu Frik over Baby Yoda. Viewers can't seem to get over the creature, including Frozen 2's Josh Gad who demands a Babu Frik Star Wars spin-off.
