## Resource

Babu Frik is a small Anzellan droidsmith from Star Wars: The Rise of the Skylwalker, known for his ability to reprogram droids and his memorable catchphrase "Hey!". Voiced by Shirley Henderson, he became a fan favorite for his unique voice and personality. Originally, the tiny Anzellan was intended to perish when the Final Order destroyed the planet Kijimi. However, after J.J. Abrams screened an early cut for Steven Spielberg, Spielberg specifically asked what happened to the character, leading the crew to edit Babu into the climactic Battle of Exegol as a Y-wing pilot alongside Zori Bliss.
