New Character Unveiled in Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles

Aspyr's upcoming release of Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles for modern consoles features a surprising playable character: Jar Jar Binks! A new trailer showcases Jar Jar wielding a staff in action-packed gameplay.

The updated version also boasts customizable lightsaber colors and cheat code support, enhancing the nostalgic experience.

The recently released trailer highlights Jar Jar's signature chaotic style and voice lines. While some fans may have fantasized about a Darth Jar Jar-esque red lightsaber, he'll instead be utilizing a staff. Jar Jar Binks will be playable upon the game's launch on January 23rd; pre-orders are currently available.

Newly Revealed Playable Characters:

• Jar Jar Binks
• Rodian
• Flame Droid

The diverse additions include familiar faces like the Staff Tusken Raider and Rodian, alongside various droid types (Flame Droid, Destroyer Droid, and Rifle Droid). The inclusion of both Jar Jar Binks and the Gungan Guard demonstrates Aspyr's commitment to expanding the game's playable options.

With the release date fast approaching, fans eagerly anticipate experiencing these new characters and the overall updated game. Aspyr's past successes in updating classic Star Wars titles, such as Star Wars: Bounty Hunter, offer hope for a truly satisfying and nostalgic experience with this revamped version of Jedi Power Battles.
