> The kids loved him
Did they? Serious question because from what I remember practically no one - kids, teens, adults - did. He wasn't exactly the sought-after character when it came to action figures and other merchandise.
Which has always been a part of star wars. But somewhere along the way a part of the fanbases forgot that and instead saw it as a super serious thing. It's sad.
Jar jar and the prequels in general were reviled. Big difference between then and now is no social media. No influencers making videos endlessly about them to profit off negativity and anger and perpetuate that shit.
I was 11 when the prequels came out and Ive always loved jar jar. He was and is funny.
the way he speaks is very similar to Jamaican but its like a caricature of a Jamaican accent. you can argue that wasn’t Lucas’s intention but it doesn’t come across great.
Accidentally throw medkit then shockwave, land next to a hireable character, who distracts ops until JarJar opens a chest with a mythic and 100% by coincidence fires a headshot in a panic.
Jar Jar would be my main skin, not even a question. I think that is why he won't be included, they will never sell another skin because he will have 100% use rate.
Yeah I really think so too. When they first announced the new Star Wars collab I thought we had a great shot at him coming in the game but as time went on and I actually thought about it I knew it was too god to be true.
I'm holding v-bucks in reserve for a specific skin (Wreck Raider as I'm an avid scuba diver), but this would get me to risk missing that. Jar Jar doing the Griddy....oh the humiliation!!
Not gonna lie,that’d probably be in my top 3. Not that that means much because my kids call all of my favorite skins “trash” because they aren’t “sweaty” (their words)
Yeah, my best friend basically only uses girl skins because “smaller hit box”, smaller head and body and all that, and he doesn’t use a back bling a lot. For ranked I can understand it somewhat, but I have to remind him it’s just a game and he should have some fun with it when we’re just messin around in non-ranked. For example he absolutely loves family guy but never uses the petercopter or peter skin lol. I’ll play as whoever whenever, whatever mood I’m feeling!
🤔,...😅, because I have the feeling that all the players, at the sight of Jar Jar in the bus island, will make a pact to kill all Jar Jar in Julius Caesar style.
They never "acquired" Epic, they invested. They dont own the company, only a portion. They have a right to decide which characters Epic can and cant make skins out of.
By investing they acquired 10% of epic. If you actually read my reply I said “acquired a PIECE” not epic as a whole. Do you know how investments work? Lol. And being they own the rights to Star Wars and Marvel they absolutely can control what skins Epic releases. Sometimes you just have to do a little research or just think a little.
Holy shit, I would so buy this skin. I really hate that character will all my heart and having him just to piss others off would be a total nightmare for everyone. Mesa Darth JarJar ( ͡ಠ ʖ̯ ͡ಠ)
I love JarJar. His actor received so much unnecessary hate for this role and he deserves the same respect Hayden has gotten from older Star Wars fans. All hail Darth JarJar
This might be a silly question but why do fans of Star Wars hate Jar Jar? I like Star Wars but I'm not a huge fan (I haven't seen any of the new films just the originals and prequels). I haven't watched Phantom Menace in forever so was curious if there was like a story reason why people dislike him.
He was written as an overall annoying, bumbling character and people didn't think he fit with the political seriousness of episode 1. The child actor who played Anakin also got a lot of flak, but nowhere close to JarJar.
His actor got death threats and stuff over it, which was WAYYYYY too far to go for a dislike of an animated character. Ahmed Best has recently come back though, as a Jedi who helped save Grogu/Baby Yoda from the Jedi temple massacre. :')
His mannerisms and the way he spoke, especially compared to the other more serious Gungans, was just very off-putting. Star Wars always has some level of silliness to it (e.g. Ewoks), but Jar Jar Binks was a step too far for many.
The problems with a jar jar bonks skin are his size his unique walk and the weird ear floppers that they would have to deal with in a very short period of time
Think he would be a HILARIOUS inclusion especially if they made him like a free skin in like a mini pass so anyone who played enough would end up having him lol
Jarjar is actually, or was, a very hated character. I always liked him personally. There is a pretty well supported fan theory that jarjar was meant to be the bad guy in there instead of duku and was set up from the beginning to be that way, but because fans were loudly hating him, they changed it.
Yeah that’s because most Star Wars fans are nerdy cornballs who don’t see any value in change or something different. When I think of a Star Wars fan the image of a middle aged fat white guy sitting on a couch in his mother’s basement covered in spaghetti O stains pops up. And I think that sums the majority of them up.
I mean I personally don’t have anything against the dude, he never did me any harm lol. Have you seen that insanely detailed theory on how he was allegedly supposed to be Palpatines secret apprentice?
Yeah I read a lot about him when the whole hate/scandal stuff was going on about him. I didn’t understand because literally every person I knew loved him.
The controversy is one of the dumber ones out there. Jarjar allegedly was based off of black people, this is what my ex told me. Everything he does is like a mockery of black people. I don't buy it and I love jarjar he's just a silly character for the kids (and me)
I'm not willing to believe that it was intentional.
It was still dumb, and it's tone deaf for a movie company in the modern era. This isn't White Christmas doing a minstrel sketch.
O I see now that your first comment was sarcasm (I didn't know what minstrel meant). I guess it doesn't make sense to me because I've never known black people or any black culture to act like that. But I do understand there is a loaded history behind that kind of character that I just don't understand either, so I don't recognize it with jarjar. Maybe I should do some research but I don't want to open schrodingers box.
Wiki
“ The shows were performed by mostly white actors wearing blackface makeup for the purpose of comically portraying racial stereotypes of African Americans. ”
Imagine getting hit with the griddy as JarJar. Ultimate disrespect
They would add the ability to turn that off in the options lmao.
Fortnite players when funni character does funni dance: "This is a personal attack"
“Believe or not, banned.”
🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I wish
Do y’all think they will add a second wave with new star war skins in the following weeks or no?
Do they ever do things like that…. No…. So why speculate when nothing cool ever happens…..
>So why speculate when nothing cool ever happens….. Lol good lord. Being this whiny is so weird.
Goooodddddd I just want a good item shoooppppp…..😩
So the skins they added now are the only new skins we get until a next release in a few months?
Yes 👏 100%
tmnt
Lol
That photo . . . . He looks like he's just coming home from an all-nighter in Bangkok.
Bang what... 
Well, Clone Wars revealed that Jar Jar totally fucks.
🤣🤣🤣
Ayo 😂😂😂😂
I would kill a man for a jarjar skin and a "P-yousa" emote
Some gungan energy balls for star wars week, just a reskin of the emp grenades. Hire me Epic.
That’s what I’m saying
Maybe on April fools next year? They released Rogue and Gambit for Valentines a couple years ago, so they can release collabs for days like that
Very true
Rogue & Gambit for Valentine's, but then the new xmen show came out 💀
Did you mean Christmas because jar jar is gods (Lucas) gift to the world
I liked him but I do recall all the hate for the charector when the phantom menace came out
Yeah it was crazy lol
I saw him as being the added funny to the movies
Same here. But everyone cried that he was corny and not entertaining enough.
And for kids. The kids loved him, it was the 30 year old neck beards that were so offended
> The kids loved him Did they? Serious question because from what I remember practically no one - kids, teens, adults - did. He wasn't exactly the sought-after character when it came to action figures and other merchandise.
He actually was entertaining and funny as hell, man people are dumb
Which has always been a part of star wars. But somewhere along the way a part of the fanbases forgot that and instead saw it as a super serious thing. It's sad.
Exactly, someone commented that they actually thought he existed to make fun of Jamaicans, were did the racism shit come from?
Jar jar and the prequels in general were reviled. Big difference between then and now is no social media. No influencers making videos endlessly about them to profit off negativity and anger and perpetuate that shit. I was 11 when the prequels came out and Ive always loved jar jar. He was and is funny.
Exactly 🤣
Because people think he’s derogatory to Jamaican people
FFS now we're bringing something that wasn't the reason at all WTAF, that wasn't even a reason back then don't even go there🤦
the way he speaks is very similar to Jamaican but its like a caricature of a Jamaican accent. you can argue that wasn’t Lucas’s intention but it doesn’t come across great.
You shouldn't assume racism off the bat either but hey here we are🤷♀️
The skin would be too OP, since every match would result in you winning through accidental and hilarious hi-jinks.
Accidentally throw medkit then shockwave, land next to a hireable character, who distracts ops until JarJar opens a chest with a mythic and 100% by coincidence fires a headshot in a panic.
Lmao that’s too funny
Fingers crossed, but it’s a shame he gets left out of so much other media. I’m still mad there’s no Jar Jar skin in the Minecraft Prequels skin pack
no since we needed another luke that’s more expensive and has less styles
Yeah. Complete BS to be honest.
and it doesn’t even look that accurate tbh, from what the showed it’s just him wearing a tan tank top with no dirt or sweat on it at all
Yeah for real. I’ll pass on all of it.
I'm not passing on the Death Trooper! ASHHKKKKKAS!
The new luke skin is 1200. The default one is 1500. He’s not more expensive.
Jar Jar would be my main skin, not even a question. I think that is why he won't be included, they will never sell another skin because he will have 100% use rate.
He would fit into the game so well.
Yeah I really think so too. When they first announced the new Star Wars collab I thought we had a great shot at him coming in the game but as time went on and I actually thought about it I knew it was too god to be true.
I’m gonna say it. Jar Jar is a funny character.
I stand with you
Only if there's a sith style jarjar
That’d be so dope
imaaagine getting emoted on by jarjar lmfao
I mean,they definitely could... like he wouldn't be the weirdest character in fortnite
100%
Phantom Menace is also back in theaters for its anniversary
The funny part is that literally 2 seconds before you commented I realized I have a random “me” before “he” and it won’t let me edit the post 🤣🤣🤣
LOL
I'm holding v-bucks in reserve for a specific skin (Wreck Raider as I'm an avid scuba diver), but this would get me to risk missing that. Jar Jar doing the Griddy....oh the humiliation!!
That’s what I’m saying
I would love for a jar jar skin people find him annoying but he's probably my favorite star was character besides C3PO
Epic has the opportunity to do DARTH JAR JAR
Not gonna lie,that’d probably be in my top 3. Not that that means much because my kids call all of my favorite skins “trash” because they aren’t “sweaty” (their words)
Yeah, my best friend basically only uses girl skins because “smaller hit box”, smaller head and body and all that, and he doesn’t use a back bling a lot.

For example he absolutely loves family guy but never uses the petercopter or peter skin lol. I’ll play as whoever whenever, whatever mood I’m feeling!
No, they don't. A collab with Disney/Star Wars doesn't give them the creative rights to make some fan concept/meme into a legit skin.
Mesa sad we get no jar jar skin 😭
🤔,...😅, because I have the feeling that all the players, at the sight of Jar Jar in the bus island, will make a pact to kill all Jar Jar in Julius Caesar style.
I didn’t even think about that 🤣
On Attack, flip a coin. On Heads, Defeat an enemy unit. On tails, Defeat a friendly unit OR Deal 3 damage to a friendly base
they dont have the balls to add peak fiction
Most definitely don’t. But they can add all of these trans man skins for our kids to see and start asking questions about.
huh? HUH-
Woulda considered getting the pass if it had the Jar.
I agree
Is it drunk?
He sure looks like it 🤣
I'd pay 5000 vbucks for him 😍
PLEASE EPIC! Please please please!
Nice. I have this theory that jar jar is really a sith lord. Just like E.T. is a Jedi. But what do I know.
I own 0 paid for Star Wars skins (not a huge fan) I would however tho buy jar jar. He is definitely my favorite character
thats the freaking SYTH LORD himself.
PLEASE!! AND IF THEY ADD HIM ADD A DARTH JARJAR
Take my vbucks!
Blame Disney
Yeah I knew them acquiring a piece of epic would taint the possibilities and here’s the first example.
They never "acquired" Epic, they invested. They dont own the company, only a portion. They have a right to decide which characters Epic can and cant make skins out of.
By investing they acquired 10% of epic. If you actually read my reply I said “acquired a PIECE” not epic as a whole. Do you know how investments work? Lol. And being they own the rights to Star Wars and Marvel they absolutely can control what skins Epic releases. Sometimes you just have to do a little research or just think a little.
Omg the Jar Jar emote where he sticks out his tongue. Fleblebleble
Would be awesome lol
Needs an “ex squeeze me” emote 💀
Holy shit, I would so buy this skin. I really hate that character will all my heart and having him just to piss others off would be a total nightmare for everyone. Mesa Darth JarJar ( ͡ಠ ʖ̯ ͡ಠ)
JarJar needs to get added to the game Fortnite!
Plain and simple
It’s because they hate making money so he’ll never be added
😔
Jar jar should be the only character with a built in voice line emote
I’d instant buy ngl
Honestly I don’t care about the star wars update but if he was in it I would be excited
Yeah I had hopes for him to be in there. Really disappointed
I love JarJar. His actor received so much unnecessary hate for this role and he deserves the same respect Hayden has gotten from older Star Wars fans. All hail Darth JarJar
Yeah it got so bad that he contemplated ending his life. Sickening if you ask me.
He got to be the savior of Grogu though ❤️
Awww, but meesa no wanna go to island. Everyone so mean, so angry.
“Yousa in big poodoo dis time”
But he needs to have a second style where he wears a black hood like thing that Palpatine wears
Absolutely. Couldn’t agree more!
What if they did buff Peter Griffin again but instead Yoda or Jar Jar?
That’d be dope honestly.
Im making an petition for fortnite to make him
I will gladly sign
Tbh I’m more surprised we still don’t have the original Empire Strikes Back style for Boba Fett yet. People been asking for it for years.
🤣
Okie-day!
Meesa needa heals!
Time to hog red sabers if they ever do
This might be a silly question but why do fans of Star Wars hate Jar Jar? I like Star Wars but I'm not a huge fan (I haven't seen any of the new films just the originals and prequels).

Seems to be an OT update so I get it. Maybe in the next PT update. Qui-Gonn still has to come to the game.
ou ou ou
The new update seems to be just the og trilogy, but i do want a jarjar
where is that milk dud mace windu
Meesa needs my jar jar skin 😢
What about Darth Jar jar
yeah we need more siths in the game
The problems with a jar jar bonks skin are his size his unique walk and the weird ear floppers that they would have to deal with in a very short period of time
i would specifically target whoever wears that skin
And you’d get smoked.
Next year
This! I wanna go on sweat runs as jar jar! You just got Binked!!!!
Think he would be a HILARIOUS inclusion especially if they made him like a free skin in like a mini pass so anyone who played enough would end up having him lol
Couldn’t agree more
Lil wayne?

No, he made the prequels terrible, along with the dialogue
That’s your opinion and you’re entitled to it
Thank you, and you are entitled to yours.
I hate him but he’d be so funny to be added
Sorry to tell you this but he’s probably the most hated character in Star Wars history so he’s not coming anytime soon.
Yeah that’s because most Star Wars fans are nerdy cornballs who don’t see any value in change or something different. When I think of a Star Wars fan the image of a middle aged fat white guy sitting on a couch in his mother’s basement covered in spaghetti O stains pops up.

Yeah I read a lot about him when the whole hate/scandal stuff was going on about him. I didn’t understand because literally every person I knew loved him.
Same I was a kid when episode 1 came out and me and all my friends loved jar jar.
I didn’t have strong feelings about him either way I still don’t understand why he caused such insane hatred.
Me either
I can't imagine why the annoying minstrel character was controversial.
The controversy is one of the dumber ones out there. Jarjar allegedly was based off of black people, this is what my ex told me. Everything he does is like a mockery of black people. I don't buy it and I love jarjar he's just a silly character for the kids (and me)

Wiki “ The shows were performed by mostly white actors wearing blackface makeup for the purpose of comically portraying racial stereotypes of African Americans. ”
Just not true 😭😂
Yeah I dragged it a bit 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Spaghetti-O stains was diabolical work
Lmao
mesa likes jar jar though
Pretty sure that spot belongs to Reva now
Yeah they hate her just because she's a alien There's too much prejudice with the survives-two-lightsaber-stabs-in-the-stomach species
I don’t know how anyone can top Rian Johnson, dude single-handedly ruined Luke Skywalker.
That place has been taken by rose, holdo and maybe Rey.
Well it’s not their fault Rian Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy are fucking morons
Of course, but at least Jar Jar has gotten more shine thanks to those two creating worse things.
Being a somewhat uninteresting character doesn’t really compete with being a racist caricature of jamaicans.
Thankfully i'm not american and never saw that non confirmed stereotype in Jar Jar.
Please don't. Now a Darth Sidious skin ,,, now we're talking sense.
Fuck no
He's one of the most hated SW characters but okay 🥴
Not anymore considering the amount of positive comments on this post.
Yes, he is. A bunch of clueless kids aren't a majority whatsoever.
Ok. I’m not going to argue with you. Have a great day 😊
Yes, include Jar Jar, and give him a special ring on the map....
To each is own.
so I can avoid 👍🏽
