International Talk Like Jar Jar Binks Day

Check out this Great Jar Jar costume!

There’s one more Jar Jar cosplayer out there and the world is a better place for it! Kyle Lusignan, a Star Wars fan from Texas, recently obtained a promotional Jar Jar Binks statue, manufactured by Pepsi Co. and Frito Lay back in 1999 for The Phantom Menace release, and modified it so he could wear it as a costume. It took Lusignan about 2 weeks to convert the statue into a wearable form, and the pictures and videos of his recent test fitting proved to be pretty popular when he shared them on Facebook. Mr. Lusignan also shared a bunch of his photos with us, and you can see them here.[]

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.[]
