Babu Frik’s Fighting Style Shown In LEGO Star Wars BTS Video

Babu Frik’s fighting style has been revealed as part of a behind-the-scenes video for LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. The tiny Anzellan debuted in Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker and the idea of the 9-inch tall alien in a fistfight has amused fans and the developers of the game.

The LEGO Star Wars games have been hugely popular since the first game’s release in 2005. Previous games had only covered parts of the saga, be it the prequel trilogy, original trilogy, or one-offs such as the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens game. LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is the first time a LEGO Star Wars title will be covering all nine films from the entire mainline saga. As a result, this will be the first time many characters from The Last Jedi and The Rise Of Skywalker will be appearing in a LEGO game.

In a behind-the-scenes video posted on Warner Bros Games’ YouTube channel, many of the developers behind LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga gave interviews about the state of the game. The developers discussed the vast variety of explorable planets, collectibles, and characters that will be available for players upon the release of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. The team discussed their favorite playable characters, including ones such as Mama The Hutt, or characters who have been created entirely for this game. As part of this segment around the 4:40 mark, Mark Crane, Lead Animator on the game, commented on the appearance of Babu Frik, describing him as “hilarious, because he’s so tiny“, as the footage showed the miniature alien jumping and punching a Stormtrooper.

The BTS video shows Babu Frik hilariously overpowering Stormtroopers, which demonstrates just how vast and expansive the world of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. Beyond Babu Frik, each character has a unique gait, fighting style, and personality, which is quite impressive. Especially so given the number of characters from the movies that players will be able to control.

Although LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga already boasts an impressive number of playable characters in its core game, it has recently been announced that there will be DLC from outside the nine Skywalker Saga movies, including further characters from The Mandalorian, Rogue One, Solo, and more. These seven character packs can be purchased individually or can be purchased together as part of the Character Collection bundle, which is included in the Deluxe Edition of the game, alongside a physical miniature figure of Luke Skywalker with a carton of the infamous blue milk for those who buy the disc version of the game. After several delays since its initial announcement, fans are looking forward to finally getting their hands on what appears to be the biggest LEGO: Star Wars game to date.

LEGO Star Wars: Skywalker Saga will be coming to PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC on April 5, 2022.
