That should be more than enough Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker behind the scenes facts to hold you over until the next theatrical release from a galaxy far, far away is released.
And then there’s the fun little story about how one of the most celebrated filmmakers of all time (and an old friend of George Lucas) saved what is perhaps the cutest character in the Star Wars movies, Babu Frik.
After that, Babu Frik was saved and no one left the theater emotionally scarred.
In an interview with Empire, The Rise of Skywalker’s creature effects creative supervisor, Neal Scanlan revealed that there Frik was originally going to be on Kijimi when destroyed by one of the Star Destroyers, but when Steven Spielberg attended an early screening, he asked about the little droidsmith and his fate.
