Star Wars: Jar Jar #1 is a canon one-shot comic book published by Marvel Comics.
This issue gives Jar Jar Binks a major spotlight and redemption arc, co-written by Ahmed Best (the actor who originally played Jar Jar in the prequels, and also portrayed Jedi Knight Kelleran Beq in The Mandalorian) alongside Marc Guggenheim. Art is handled by Laura Braga and Kieran McKeown, with colors by Michael Atiyeh, and the main cover by Taurin Clarke. It’s a 32-page (or ~28-32 depending on the listing).
Official Synopsis
JAR JAR RETURNS — CO-WRITTEN BY JAR JAR HIMSELF, AHMED BEST! JAR JAR faces the consequences of giving emergency powers to CHANCELLOR PALPATINE. What pivotal role does Jar Jar play in the formation of the REBEL ALLIANCE? Guest-starring fan-favorite JEDI KNIGHT KELLERAN BEQ!
The story explores Jar Jar dealing with the fallout from his infamous Senate vote in Revenge of the Sith, leading to a journey that ties into early Rebel Alliance seeds. It features a meeting between Jar Jar and Kelleran Beq (making for a cool meta moment since both are portrayed by Best), and early reader reactions on X describe it as a form of «official redemption» for the character after years of memes and criticism—highlighting his guilt, growth, and unexpected contributions to the galaxy’s resistance.
