A trio of Balinaka dancers performed on planet Tatooine around 32 BBY. Those Balinaka artists from the icy world of Garnib danced at the podracers' hovel, performing a chorus-line routine on stage.
The Balinaka were introduced as comical background characters in Star Wars: Anakin's Speedway, a children's video game released by Lucas Learning in 2000. It was Maryn Roos, the Lead Artist on the project, who chose to include the bear-like beings into the game after discovering them in old West End Games material for Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.
