| Love him or hate him (and alot of folks hate him)...That doesnt change that he was one of the major characters of Star Wars Episode 1. He took up ALOT of screen time. So why is there no mini for him yet. Bounty Hunters is set 6 and still no Jar Jar. Set 7 is Starships and set 8 will be Classic Trilogy again. Wheres the love? | |

| The only love Jar Jar gets is the love to hate him.  Seriously though considering the other gungans they've done not to mention some of the other recent more obscure characters they've done it does seem like a Jar Jar mini is due. | | | |

| | I must say I wish I could forget he was part of the genre at all. I certainly don't want one but I a certainly don't want to stomp on others desires for him. We get quite a few obscure or generic miniatures so slipping him in wouldn't effect me much. | | | |

| | I recall this question being posed to the designers of SWM at last years Gen-con I think. They said there were no plans in the works to do a Jar-Jar figure due to his overwhelming unpopularity among fans. | |

| They could make him a simple mini. Give him draw fire like c3po has. I cant think of anything other than draw fire that he deserves but they still should make him.

| Jar jar is the SWM equivalent of a gnome. A lot of people hate him and the designers don't feel impelled to rush production 
Besides, named characters tend to end up in R/VR slots. Can you imagine the furor when people started pulling Jar Jar as their rare?  | |

| Just for Jar Jar they should add a new class of rarity, ultra very rare.

| | Yuck! I hate Jar Jar. If there must be a mini, please make him a one shot promo or something. Although, I do find the thought of missiling him with my hail fire droid amusing. | |

| They could give him a commander effect.
Name: General Jar Jar
HP: 60
Defense: 15
Attack: -5
Damage: 10
Special abilities: Draw Fire
Commander Effects: Allies within 6 squares may reroll each save once.
I give him that commander effect becuase of how annoyingly lucky he is that jedi showed up.

He should be SO rare that no one EVER got him on a booster... pretty much the way it is right now!

| | A rare Republic figure with some sort of downside, with Draw Fire and Evasion sounds about right. The annoying little bugger gets shot at alot, but nothing realy connects. | |

I like the idea of him being vr and having a quite a good commander effect.
so peaople who get him in a pck would say......'Arrr no! I got jar jar.......wait hang on.....he's pretty useful'
a bit like mas amedda, i thought an 8 point rare is garbage but he is one of the most useful rares of my collection.

| Well Lucas said that Jar jar must be! and it is a priority! but he said that since Universe release!
For marketing it is a bad idea to make him, but he must be in a set (non-huge set) to satisfy people and the collection, maybe a dumb miniature with drawfire or fumble critical (if he scores natural 20 or 1) deals critical damage to enemy and 10 pts of damage to himself.
that cfx would make him really really Powerfull! maybe something simplier and making him really cheap! maybe a 3 points miniature! we all need people to open doors. | |

| | If they do ever make him then I think making sure he's a desirable figure to play is a must, either from a competative or purely fun standpoint. | | | |

| WotC_Rob stated at GenCon that Wicket would be made before Jar Jar.
I hope that they make the figure Jar Jar Binks, Gungan Senator, with the Special Ability Call for Emergency Power, which would allow you to include in your squad any figure whose name contains Darth Sidious or Emperor Palpaltine! | |

With that ability he should cost about 20pts to, the tradeoff being that Palpatine costs about 25% more.

| | I like the Dannick Jerrico mini, as well as Dr. Evazan. Many people who disliked those as VR's would still have them over Jar Jar. | |

| I really hate DR Evazan! well it is the last three pieces i need to complete universe XD
Jar Jar should not be a VR, i rather other characters; he should be Rare. | |

| hello everyone
i think a jarjar minis should have a drawfire ability and 1 point cost and is the only minis that is very common meaning it be included on every booster.
jarjar should be the most annoying minis ever and people will love to shoot him in the game. that will be fun as his character is.
collectors will go like "besides jarjar what other minis did you get from the boosters". and like "i have around a hundred boosters and what would i do with a hundred jarjars"
jarjar will be so common that shooting ranges will make him as targets on moving carnivals.
his ability card can then be used to start campfires and BarBQ fires around the US.
i want jarjar to be the most annoying SWM in history.
"mise figure you hate jarjar"
