Coming in 2026 from Hot Toys, is one of the most derided characters in Star Wars history. Yes, it’s Jar Jar Binks.
Here hesa comin’
Back in the spring of 1999, hype was at a fever pitch for the first big screen Star Wars films since the 80s. The initial installment of what was to be a new trilogy, The Phantom Menace introduced legions of brand new fans to the series, and brought a whole new era to the existing base. The film opened to a bit of a mixed review bag, but fans weren’t swayed. It was packed with everything that they were looking for, meaning Jedi, Sith, and plenty of action. Oh and… Jar Jar.
As mentioned above, Jar Jar Binks was integral to the overall plot of Episode 1, which partially took place on his homeworld of Naboo. But even with some level of import, his presence was instantly derided by many for his jokey demeanor, which included a groan-inducing way of speaking.
Of course, as most things do after enough time passes, Jar Jar is looked upon much more fondly these days. Sure, some fans continue to delight in poking fun at him, but there are just as many (if not more) who have grown to like the Gungan. And if you’re one of the latter, then you might want to add one of Hot Toys’ latest reveals to your own collection.
Retailer Sideshow has officially shared the news today that Jar Jar will be joining Hot Toys’ Star Wars line, with a 13″ tall collector figure. He’ll come complete with his trademark outfit, interchangeable face sculpts, eyes, and even a detachable tongue.
