Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles Reveals Another New Character

Aspyr's upcoming release of Star Wars Episode 1: Jedi Power Battles for modern consoles features a surprising new playable character: Jar Jar Binks. This revelation, along with a new gameplay trailer showcasing Binks wielding a staff, has generated considerable buzz.

The 2000 original featured a roster of iconic characters, and this updated version aims to capitalize on nostalgia while adding fresh content. Beyond lightsaber color customization and cheat code support, the remastered game boasts a significant expansion to its playable character lineup.

The trailer highlights Jar Jar's chaotic combat style, utilizing a large staff rather than a lightsaber, and incorporating his signature boisterous voice lines. He'll be available when the game launches on January 23rd, and pre-orders are currently open.

Newly Revealed Playable Characters:

Aspyr has unveiled ten new playable characters, with more promised. This diverse roster includes:

• Jar Jar Binks
• Rodian
• Flame Droid
• Gungan Guard
• Destroyer Droid
• Ishi Tib
• Rifle Droid
• Staff Tusken Raider
• Weequay
• Mercenary

The inclusion of various droids and iconic Star Wars species adds depth and variety to the gameplay experience.

With the release date fast approaching, fans eagerly anticipate experiencing these additions, hoping Aspyr's experience with other classic Star Wars game updates (like Star Wars: Bounty Hunter) translates to a successful and satisfying reimagining of Jedi Power Battles.
