Star Wars: Galactic Racer has produced plenty of highlights since launch, but its breakout star is a tiny alien with an ego the size of a Death Star. Biddy Blas, the hotshot racer whose screeching voice has taken over social media, is voiced by Richard Summers-Calvert — an indie UK pro wrestler and actor whose in-ring persona is a sinister circus ringmaster, which somehow makes perfect sense.
Summers-Calvert performs in wrestling as "The Spectacular Twt" Charles Crowley, and he has appeared across multiple promotions, including a recent run in Ring of Honor. Speaking to Soundsphere, he said Biddy Blas's explosion caught even him off guard: "I could tell Biddy Blas was gonna be popular early on. Then I woke up the next day and he'd blown up a bit, and then the next day it kind of dawned on me that this isn't normal."
The voice itself came out of the audition room. The brief called for a small man who was constantly on the edge and overcompensating, so Summers-Calvert pushed his pitch higher — and the game's directors loved it. The role still had its challenges, not least performing lines in Huttese, the Star Wars language of Jabba the Hutt. His signature catchphrase, "scrib doon," has since escaped the game entirely, and Summers-Calvert has said he is happy to scrib doon autographs for fans.
Since then, he has been flooded with messages and mentions, and even what he describes as "Biddy Blas thirst traps" online. The character has been memed endlessly in recent weeks and referenced by sports teams including the Pittsburgh Steelers. "I keep seeing online people talking about like cuteness aggression, and they love him so much they want to throw him at the wall," Summers-Calvert added.
For wrestling fans, it is another example of how naturally sports entertainment's theatrical streak connects with video games. Roman Reigns plays Akuma in the new Street Fighter movie, and Kenny Omega has built signature attacks out of references to his favorite games. A ringmaster-voiced alien going viral in a Star Wars racer is simply the latest crossover — and if the "scrib doon" chants keep spreading, a wrestler finishing move by that name feels inevitable.
Star Wars: Galactic Racer, from Fuse Games, blends Burnout- and Wipeout-inspired speed with a roguelite structure that makes every run feel dangerous, and it has been hailed as the highest-rated Star Wars game in 20 years. It is out now on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S — and thanks to Biddy Blas, it may have produced the franchise's unlikeliest star since Grogu.
