Meesa only have a Lego profile? Yousa should give meesa a movie profile, too....

[Imaginym]

Should Jar Jar Binks have a profile? He has feats in the movies he appears in, for one, & I'd imagine in the books & such, too. For example, jumping incredible heights, in a 'verse where jumping good is a force power.

Beating Droids in melee combat, reacting to blaster fire... Being implied to be responsible for sabotaging a ship. Possibly Social Influencing, even if he doesn't have Jedi Mind Tricks

And that's if we don't buy into him being a Sith Lord. Even if we treat it as being rewritten out, the official, canon versions of the movies still depict him doing things like making lip movements behind or near characters who make similar ones when saying things that'd support a Sith's goals, with no apparent purpose to his lip movements. (Especially since each of those would have to be animated.)

Sith Lord Jar Jar might not be canon, even if it was once intended so, but the actual canon still gives him enough to stand on his own, no?

Meesa best Sith Lord

As much as I'd like to make his profile about him being a Sith Lord, if my memory serves, we can't use cut content in profiles.

Jar Jar was never officially revealed as a Sith Lord & the scripts & such where he was were rewritten.

He MIGHT be able to get force powers as a "Possibly", since force-jump-like-jump, & doing what seem like Mind Tricks a few times. Should at least have Social Influencing, maybe other stuff for his feats.

This Respect Thread may also prove useful:

https://comicvine.gamespot.com/forums/gen-discussion-1/jar-jar-binks-respect-thread-1775710/ (Incidentally, we don't scale/composite comics & movie Jar Jar, right?)

From what I'm reading, he also has experience in military leadership, so his intelligence maybe should note that in any profile that gets made.

 

[Genericstickman]

Wasn't Jar Jar also able to take out a bunch of droids with a lightsaber?

 

[Imaginym]

I'm, admittedly, not that knowledgeable on the original movies. If you can prove it happened in canon, I probably won't disagree, if only because of my lack of qualifications.

How skillfully he uses a lightsaber is something to ponder, but it's at least notable.

 

[ZacharyGrossman273]

I mean

Maybe the force powers should be a "possible" since it's intentionally vague?

I am already in agreement with that.

His more ambiguous skills with Sith stuff aside, would his Gungan physiology might give him Underwater Breathing & any kind of Self-Sustenance? Also:

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jar_Jar_Binks#Skills_and_abilities

"As a Gungan, Jar Jar Binks was capable of living comfortably both on land and underwater."

"Binks also knew how to pilot a bongo sub and had a good navigational knowledge of Naboo's watery core."

"On one occasion, he used his slime to seal Senator Amidala's damaged faceplate during a mission to Mon Cala; saving her from drowning in the oceans of that watery planet."

"Binks was also good at communicating with animals as shown when he managed to tame several skalders, beasts of burden which provided him and his clone trooper comrades with transportation."

"Homeless, Binks found work in Theed as a clown and street performer. Binks' funny antics and acrobatic exercises in a water fountain made him popular with refugee children."


Also, his prehensile tongue, which he can use to grab food & stuff. Plus maybe Vehicular Mastery (Bongo Sub), whatever having slime that can act as a sealant is, Animal Manipulation & probably Acrobatics.

 

[ZacharyGrossman273]

Wait

Sith Jar Jar has been confirmed by word of god?

...what?

 

[Imaginym]

@ZacharyGrossman273:

Sort of? Jar Jar Binks's voice actor, Ahmed Best who had been in contact with George Lucas during the making of the prequel trilogy, responded to theories about Sith Jar Jar by Tweeting:

"I will say this, it feels really good when the hidden meaning behind the work is seen. No matter how long it takes. #TPM"

However, I'm not sure that affirms it as canonical enough for our standards.

Given the bumping, if there is interest in creating a Jar Jar Binks profiles.... (Well for starters, I somehow need to watch the movies he appears in. Yes, I have not. No, seriously. I haven't seem them.) Well, we need to get feats for him amassed. Calculated ideally.

Most important is probably an AP feat. Perhaps calculate the kinetic energy of him jumping? (May need to assume Jar Jar's mass if it's not stated officially. Perhaps the density of flesh & using the volume of a human?) Or the KE for him physically harming a Droid or something?

The point is, any character who can do Attack Potency or Striking Strength feats & survive should have at least that much durability. Newton's Third Law is the basis, IIRC. A common, simple explanation is that "Most people don't break their arm when they throw a punch.".

Alternatively, get an AP for one of his weapons?

I don't think it would be good form to make his profile with a bunch of stuff left Unknown, so unless he has scaling....

[Buttersamuri]

I would be down for a Jar jar page. I got plenty to put him against

 

[Buttersamuri]

I'll give the movies a watch. I haven't seen them either. see what's calcable

 

[Imaginym]

The Respect Thread I linked earlier this thread . I'd assume at the very least, him doing very high jumps may be able to find durability (He can survive pushing himself off the ground like that.) , possibly physical AP for at least his legs, since he can survive the force to propel himself off the ground that much. (Although I dunno if KE rules would hinder that approach to statting him.

But yeah, combing the movies &/or other media is probably a start.

 

[Buttersamuri]

High jumps have been calced before in a standard calc from somewhere. Which is wall level iirc for how high Jar jar can get.

 

[Imaginym]

I wouldn't be unhappy with Wall Level Jar Jar, so long as he has some concrete statistics. But if some other basis for stats for him is found, I'll be happy about that, too!

 

[Buttersamuri]

Droid scaling puts him at wall for certain too. So he is likely lower end wall level

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Booma/Legends

Boomas, apparently. Pretty interesting, IMHO:

"The booma consisted of blue plasma from the depths of Naboo's oceanic core, pressurized and forced into a shell that would burst if thrown hard enough. It was very effective against droids and vehicles because the plasma was electrified, and seemed to have the properties of an EMP weapon. It could also burn biological material and leave a trail of plasma "goo" upon impact."

"During the Battle of Grassy Plains, General Jar Jar Binks' clumsy misuse of a booma during that battle inadvertently took down the pilot of an Armored Assault Tank, causing the vehicle to crash."

 

[Buttersamuri]

Ok. I made a basic one. A summary is still needed. But here's it without the summary


Summary
Jar Jar Binks comes from a species known as the Gungan. Albeit creatures who in an underwater city they built long ago. Due to Jar Jars extreme clumsiness, and often stupidity, he was banished from his home after causing one to many accidents. However, after being saved by Obi-Wan, Jar Jar owed him a life debt. After Jar Jar took him to his city, Obi used this to talk his people into letting him leave. From then on Jar Jar followed him around to help him with his quest.

[Imaginym]

Looks pretty good so far, although I want to bring up some things. Unsure on what exactly to put in summary, though.

For now, however, I want to hit the hay like a pile of bricks; That is, sleep.

 

[Buttersamuri]

I can probably toss something together summary wise, shouldn't be hard. I'll wait to hear what things you want to bring up. I shall be off until then

 

[Imaginym]

See you later! Thanks for all your help so far!

 

[Buttersamuri]

No problem. Glad to help

 

[Genericstickman]

Should his page include stuff from the Disney continuity comics and The Clone Wars Show?

 

[Spinosaurus75DinosaurFan]

That looks good to me too

 

[Buttersamuri]

Should his page include stuff from the Disney continuity comics and The Clone Wars Show?

I don't think he was in the show or comics. And regardless. Those are separate canon anyway

 

[Genericstickman]

Don't we use both for the canon profiles?

 

[Buttersamuri]

I know we separate some canons. Regardless again, he doesn't make any appearances in them.

 

[Genericstickman]

actually he does

 

[Imaginym]

Okay, now that I'm a bit less drowzy....

@ Buttersamurai, regarding this big post :

"Speed: At least Peak Human (Keeps up with and seems to be notably faster than Battle Droids, His tongue seems to move faster than a normal person can react), Possibly Relativistic (Has [5099950-7883051439-Enorm.gif 602×256 pixels dodged lasers on multiple occasions)"

Did a link get mixed up in that?

"Durability: Wall level (Can jump very high into the air, Comparable to his Attack Potency,"

I feel like there could be better ways to word that part than "Comparable to his Attack Potency".

"Took an electric shock from a Pod racer, and it only made his tongue numb, Can survive pressure of being deep underwater, Took a shock from an electric staff unharmed"

Isn't Electricity durability negating? I'm wondering if this isn't a basis for Resistance to Electricity Manipulation.

Otherwise, I don't think much is wrong.

 

[Buttersamuri]

Now sure what happened to that speed thing. But. I fixed the linking issue there

That's typically what's said when saying it's comparable to their strength. Comparable to their AP.

Not really. Just it had enough electricity to make you go numb. But since it's a massive amount of electricity, I could add resistance yea. I'll give that an add.


And alrighty.
