Behind the scenes

Vanbec Reclica was played by Rebecca Van Cleave in the 2019 film Star Wars: Episode IX The Rise of Skywalker,[2] who is listed as "creature and droid puppeteer" in the film's credits.[3] The character's name serves as a tuckerization of the actress' name.[2] A costume concept for the character was created by Calum Alexander Watt[4] based on concept art that Jake Lunt Davies had done for a potential Kijimi resident in the film.[5] Watt was unaware the characters were meant to be dancers and so drew them armed with rifles.[6]
