The hierarchy of power in the Glup Shittoverse is about to change as Star Wars: Galactic Racer's Biddy Blas is proving to be an incredibly obnoxious fan favorite.

Even as someone who saw The Rise of Skywalker and had my interest in anything Star Wars immediately leave my body due to how bad it was… I still love all of the little freaks found in the world. The Salacious B Crumb, Sy Snootles, Klaud. And thanks to the joys of podracing, Star Wars: Galactic Racer is prime Glup Shitto territory, with one of the all-time greats – racing legend Ben Quadinaros – returning to the fray.

However, even with the return of the most beloved and iconic Star Wars character ever conceived, a new contender to the throne has emerged in the form of an original character built specifically for Galactic Racer, Biddy Blas. Now, Mr. Blas has the appearance of a stout little guy with an alligator face wearing a sick racing helmet, which is already a banger, but his true claim to being peak comes when he speaks.

Mr. Biddy Blas speaks in Huttese in an incredibly obnoxious tone. You can't understand what this guy is saying without subtitles and you just know he's the worst. Hell, he can (and will) blow up your vehicle for fun if you let him. And yet there's something so entrancing about him.

Naturally, fans were quick to take to him, with one Twitter user saying "everyone meet Biddy Blas your new favourite Glup Shitto from Galactic Racer," while others are already answering him as their all-time favorite – calling him "the best Glup Shitto ever".

Meanwhile another says, "His voice is one of the greatest voices I've ever heard in a Star Wars thing," adding: "I have to imagine George Lucas would shed a tear faced with someone who perfectly understood his assignment for a change."

Blas is voiced by Richard Summers-Calvert, who had roles in 007 First Light and Total War: Warhammer 3, but may perhaps be better known as British indie wrestler Charles Crowley.

However, the gospel of Biddy Blas was foretold to us. Speaking to GamesRadar+ at Gamescom 2026, Nathaniel Daw, the narrative director at Fuse Games, said that he loves Biddy the most out of the cast, describing him as "a short, angry little alien who just gets really angry all the time. He's a bad loser and he's a worse winner." And I'd say that lines up with the hero we see today.

Star Wars: Galactic Racer Metacritic score makes it one of the best-rated Star Wars games of all time, beating every Battlefront title.

Lanterns co-creator and co-writer Tom King has revealed why the team chose to seemingly unpunish Hal Jordan's murderer, explaining that the reality is so much worse than going to jail.

Warning, the following contains major spoilers for Lanterns season 1 episode 8, so make sure you're all caught up before reading on.

In the Lanterns finale, we finally learn who shot and killed Hal Jordan. It turns out to be his girlfriend, Sheriff Kerry Kane. Yep, the same person who found Hal's body frozen on the bleachers and alerted John Stewart back in episode 1. But when John finds out the truth, instead of punishing Kerry or taking her to intergalactic jail, he lets her be.

"We had a big debate. It was like, 'Does Kerry Kane get punished?'" said King on The Ringer-Verse's House of R podcast. "Nothing could punish her more than the fact that she did that thing and she has to live with it. There's no, like, jail isn't worse than that."

John leaves Kerry to live with the fact that she has killed the person she loved. After finding out that Kerry's son Noah is a Manhunter, Hal asks Kerry to meet him at the football field, where he reveals what he knows. He asks Kerry to run away with him. But instead, she panics and shoots him in the head, seemingly out of fear that Hal would kill her son – which is what he would have done if he were following Corp guidelines.

John also lets Noah get away scot-free. As explained earlier in the season, Manhunters are incredibly dangerous extraterrestrials and have wiped out whole species. But even though he saw the destruction one Manhunter caused on a different planet, John chooses not to kill Noah, despite Noah asking him to do it. Instead, John wants Noah to make his own choices aside from what he is programmed to do. In a way, John sees a lot of himself in Noah. You can read more about that in our Lanterns ending explained.

It is not clear if we will ever see Hal again, in the flesh or as a hologram. However, the writers' room for Lanterns season 2 is already open despite HBO not yet renewing the DCU series for a second season. Next up for James Gunn's DCU Chapter One is Clayface followed by Man of Tomorrow, which welcomes back Aaron Pierre's Stewart.

Lanterns season 1 is streaming in full on HBO Max. For more, check out our Lanterns review, and keep up with upcoming DC movies and shows on the way.
