Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles Adds Playable Jar Jar Binks and More

Aspyr has unveiled a surprising addition to the upcoming re-release of Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles for modern consoles: the playable character, Jar Jar Binks! A new trailer showcases Jar Jar wielding a large staff in action-packed gameplay. This isn't the only new addition; Aspyr has also revealed nine other playable characters, with more to come.

The 2000 release of Jedi Power Battles featured beloved characters and locations from Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace. This updated version aims to recapture that nostalgia while adding exciting new content. Along with customizable lightsaber colors and cheat code support, players will enjoy a significantly expanded roster of playable characters, with Jar Jar Binks being the latest announcement.

A recently released trailer shows Jar Jar Binks in action, battling enemies with his staff. While some fans may have fantasized about a Darth Jar Jar-esque red lightsaber, this iteration remains true to the character's comedic nature, complete with his signature chaotic voice lines. Jar Jar Binks will be available when Jedi Power Battles launches on January 23rd; pre-orders are currently open.

Newly Revealed Playable Characters:

  • Jar Jar Binks
  • Rodian
  • Flame Droid
  • Gungan Guard
  • Destroyer Droid
  • Ishi Tib
  • Rifle Droid
  • Staff Tusken Raider
  • Weequay
  • Mercenary

Aspyr is significantly expanding the Jedi Power Battles roster. In addition to Jar Jar Binks, nine other new characters have been revealed, with more promised. The additions offer a diverse range of characters, including familiar faces like the Staff Tusken Raider and Rodian, along with various droid types (Flame Droid, Destroyer Droid, and Rifle Droid). Interestingly, Jar Jar isn't the only Gungan; the Gungan Guard also joins the playable lineup.

With the launch of Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles just weeks away, fans can soon experience these new characters firsthand. Aspyr's past experience with updating classic Star Wars games, such as Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, will hopefully translate to a truly satisfying and nostalgic experience for fans of Jedi Power Battles.
