Lyrics to In your Eyes, in Gungan

Do you enjoy Peter Gabriel’s classic “In your Eyes”? Of course, we all do! But you know, what would make it even more enjoyable? If it were sung in Gunganse. Here are the lyrics to “In your Eyes” if Jar Jar were to sing it.[]

What does the Gungan word weesong mean?

Since starting this “International Talk Like Jar Jar Binks Day” project a few years ago, one of my primary tasks has been documenting all of the Gungan words and phrases that have ever been said in any Star Wars project. I’ve watched the films many times and gone through all of the episodes of the Clone Wars in which any Gungans appear. I’ve read through the scripts of the films and the novelizations. I’ve tracked down prequel era books that featured Jar Jar. I’ve created a database of Gungan words and their meanings, which has grown to include several hundred entries.  But there’s still one word that continues to perplex me. And that is “weesong.” []

Happy Life Day!

Jar Jar is not a Wookiee but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t enjoy celebrating Life Day every November 17th! If you didn’t know, Life Day is the holiday celebrated in the classic 1978 Star Wars Holiday special, which celebrates life, family, and friends.[]

Lyrics to Ironic in Gungan

Even though the next International Talk Like Jar Jar Binks Day is over 11 months away, I’ve occasionally been updating the database of words for the Gungan Translator on this site. A great source for Gungan words that I didn’t previously have in the translator is a series called “Episode I Adventures” written by prolific Star Wars author and editor, Ryder Windham, and released after The Phantom Menace came out in theaters.[]
