Celebrate the most stellar fandom of them all with the new
Funko POP! Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Jar Jar Binks Funko Pop! Vinyl Figure - GameStop Exclusive.
Jar Jar Binks is one of the most unpopular characters in the Star Wars universe, but even though his appearances in the films have drastically decreased, he hasn't been left behind entirely.
The Gungan outcast was introduced in
Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, intended to appeal to younger audiences, but unfortunately, Binks quickly became one of the most hated characters in Star Wars.
The new Jar Jar Binks GameStop Exclusive Funko Pop! is now available for pre-order at the links below (click to jump!) It's expected to be released in January 2022.
Binks was supposed to put the humorous note in the story, just as the incomparable C3PO in the original trilogy.
Jar Jar Binks was a cowardly, bumbling, six-foot-two, long-eared Gungan who spoke with a Jamaican accent and the ability to screw up everything he did.
George Lucas, thinking of his young children, had conceived a character that was supposed to delight all the little ones, but in the end, it caused the opposite effect.

He returned in
Star Wars: Attack of the Clones in a minor but significant role. Fans witnessed how he participated in the rise of the Empire.
His last appearance in the film saga was in
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, where he can be seen in a few scenes without substantial dialogue.
Jar Jar Binks later returned in a supporting role in
Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series.
In
Aftermath: Empire's End by Chuck Wendig, published in 2017, we learn that Binks befriended a refugee boy named Mapo, who had been badly burned when the Empire bombed his home. They become street performers in Theed, loved by children and hated by adults.
Whether or not Jar Jar Binks is still alive or has found a new home elsewhere with his friend Mapo will remain unknown until the next film in the saga drops some clues, or a new novel sheds some light on the matter.
