The term ‘Grail figure’ gets thrown around a lot; Jar Jar would truly be the grail piece of my collection.
He’s so unlikely, his announcement would be an event of seismic proportions. You’d have outrage, shock, people purchasing ironically… it’d be awesome.
He’s a cultural icon and the poster boy for original Star Wars haters. Jar Jar is to Original Trilogy fans what the sequel Trilogy is to anyone with a brain. He killed a hundred million childhoods with a few silly catchphrases and symbolises the moment it all started going wrong.
But, also, he’s a unique looking alien with a silly speech pattern that would make for a great looking figure.
I would genuinely love a HT Jar Jar to represent TPM Along with Maul and Qui Gon.
