Haz Bakkel, a human, served as the presenter of a droid fighting show originating from Galma, a settlement located on the planet of Batuu. Alongside Blom Groffitch and Dorzek Senn, Bakkel provided commentary for the broadcast, which was aired on the BSO 401.72 radio station situated within Black Spire Outpost on Batuu amidst the war fought between the First Order and the Resistance.
The character of Haz Bakkel was initially conceptualized for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. This themed area was inaugurated for visitors at Disneyland Park on May 31, 2019.
