Second Annual Talk Like Jar Jar Binks Day review
Well everybody, the second annual International Talk Like Jar Jar Binks Day has come and gone. And while it’s natural to be feeling a bit of the post International Talk Like Jar Jar Binks Day blues, maybe looking at some of the International Talk Like Jar Jar Binks Day fun might help!
Just based on social media, we had a lot more people participating this year than last! Great success! And I’m hoping we’ll have even more next year, and the next, etc.
One awesome thing is that Jar Jar Binks actor himself, Ahmed Best, participated in International Talk Like Jar Jar Binks Day when he responded to my birthday wish to him in Gungan.
Additionally Star Wars Boss Pablo Hidalgo even got in on the fun when he responded to my inquiry about a possible Jar Jar Binks standalone film in Gungan. (And what you might not have known is that “Dissen not for mesa to be sayin” in Gungan translates to “Yes, a Jar Jar Binks film is in active development and will be coming to theaters eventually.”)
And then there’s this awesome Talk Like Jar Jar Binks Day video that JORCO Media put together!
It’s awesome! Thanks guys!
Finally there were a lot of people talking like Jar Jar Binks on Twitter! Here is just a sampling of the tweets I found.
It’sa after midnight over hair so…
