Jar Jar Binks - sw0017

Jar Jar Binks (sw0017) is one of the original LEGO® Star Wars minifigures from 1999, featuring a plain tan Gungan head, tan torso and dark grey legs. Based on the memorable character from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, this early version appeared in five LEGO Star Wars sets released between 1999 and 2000.

Original Jar Jar Binks Minifigure from 1999

This classic Jar Jar Binks design captures the distinctive appearance of the Gungan character using early LEGO Star Wars elements. Its unprinted tan head is the key feature separating sw0017 from the later Jar Jar Binks minifigure with a printed head.

First appearing in Naboo Swamp (7121-1), the figure was also included in Gungan Sub, Mos Espa Podrace, Gungan Patrol and the Star Wars Podracing Bucket. It is a useful addition for collectors restoring original Episode I sets or building a display of early LEGO Star Wars characters.
