Star Wars: Jedi Power Battles Gets a Hilarious New Playable Character: Jar Jar Binks!

Aspyr has dropped a surprise announcement: Jar Jar Binks is joining the playable roster in the upcoming re-release of Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles for modern consoles! A new trailer showcases the Gungan's surprisingly effective combat skills, wielding a hefty staff.

The updated Jedi Power Battles aims to recapture the magic of the original, adding features like customizable lightsaber colors and cheat code support. But the addition of new characters, including the unexpectedly agile Jar Jar, adds a whole new layer of fun. The trailer highlights Jar Jar's signature chaotic energy and comedic voice lines.

The New Playable Characters (So Far):

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

This diverse selection includes familiar faces like the Staff Tusken Raider and Rodian, alongside various droid types. Even Jar Jar isn't alone, as the Gungan Guard also makes an appearance. With several more characters yet to be unveiled, the final roster promises to be truly impressive.

Launching January 23rd, Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles is just around the corner. Pre-orders are open now! Aspyr’s track record with classic Star Wars game updates, such as Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, suggests this re-release could be a satisfying experience for nostalgic fans and newcomers alike.
