The alien tracker Bazil will appear in an upcoming episode of The Acolyte. Get a new look at the creature now.
The Big Picture One of the most exciting elements of any new Star Wars project is discovering all the new planets, creatures, and droids being introduced to the galaxy. The Acolyte is no exception with its cast of characters that includes several aliens, the helpful repair droid, Pip, and now, Bazil, a helpful alien tracker that will appear in an upcoming episode.
"We thought about how we could include some of these things that were not only, you know, cute and lovable and adorable, but also showed signs of a bigger sort of character makeup. A character like this is much more engaging...What qualities are going to see in him that they would identify with? That will only work if they feel like there's an element that they could give him a cuddle or that he's friendly. You know, it's an important part of, I think, the Star Wars world.
Scanlan also discussed designing the droid Pip, explaining how important it was for the droid to appear functional but also allow for him to be expressive and to emotionally connect with the audience. Scanlan added, "Probably even more than BB-8, I think that designing Pip with Leslye was the most thorough investigation into a droid that we've ever done.
