“Keep your Baby Yoda…ALL HAIL BABU FRIK” tweeted user @TheDarkJudge. Babu Frik is a droidsmith in The Rise of Skywalker and helps Poe, Finn, Rey, and Chewbacca. Though he speaks no English, audiences fell in love with his small stature and adorable mannerisms.

Though he only had a few short scenes in The Rise of Skywalker, audiences’ obsession with Babu Frik may convince Disney to give us more Babu Frik content in the future. Some are even hoping for a Babu Frik/Baby Yoda crossover. Twitter user @deevotheman tweeted “a spin-off buddy cop show with Babu Frik & Baby Yoda. Do it you cowards.”
