StarWars.com has unveiled a brand new still from J.J. Abrams'
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and it gives us a first look at one of the new alien characters that'll be introduced in the movie.
The cute little fella below is an Anzellan named Babu Frik, and he works among the Spice Runners of the planet Kijimi as a droidsmith.
Frik can reprogram or modify virtually any droid, and given C-3PO's altered appearance in the recent D23 trailer, there's speculation that he'll be tinkering with the iconic interpreter droid's programming for some reason.
Triple Force Friday is this weekend, and you can bet Babu Frik's likeness will appear on
a lot of the tie-in merchandise. Be sure to check back for all the big reveals in two days time, but for now get an early glimpse of some of Hasbro's Black Series action figures by clicking the "view list" button below.

Rey
Rey (Daisy Ridley) comes with several accessories including new Rise of Skywalker droid D-O and the lightsaber we saw her wield in the trailers. Yes, the weapon is indeed the same one that was destroyed in The Last Jedi.
“Rey carries the lightsaber once belonging to Anakin and Luke Skywalker, its shattered pieces reunited, as she continues down the Jedi path.”
Kylo Ren
Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) comes with his fiery saber and a detachable hood.
Nothing too revealing here, but the description does mebtion that the new Supreme Leader
“wields more power than ever before” and that he “continues to search for secrets of the Force from the depths of the dark side.”
Jannah
A brand new face to the franchise, Jannah (Naomi Ackie) is still shrouded in mystery. However, we now know that the character comes from an oceanic moon (what's the odds that's one of Endor's moons?) and leads a band of warriors who are "ready to charge against the forces of the First Order."
Second Sister Inquisitor
This masked villain is said to be a former Jedi who fell to the dark side under Darth Vader.
She'll be one of the main antagonists of the Fallen Order video game, but there are rumors that she may also appear in live-action form in either The Mandalorian or The Rise of Skywalker.
Purge Stormtrooper
This intimidating new wave of Imperial 'Trooper will appear in the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order game.
The Mandalorian
A pretty cool first action figure for Pedro Pascal's still unnamed bounty hunter in Disney+'s live-action Star Wars series, The Mandalorian.
Cara Dune
He'll have some serious backup in the form of Gina Carano's former Shock Trooper turned mercenary, Cara Dune.
D-O and BB-8
BB-8 comes with a new droid character we'll first meet in The Rise of Skywalker, D-O.
Offworld Jawa
Jawa fans rejoice! We haven't seen the diminutive hooded scavengers in quite some time, but they will appear in The Mandalorian.
