Jar Jar Binks is making an epic comeback in LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy.

In the teaser trailer for Disney+’s four-part new Star Wars original, we see the Gungun brandishing a red lightsaber - the colour of the Sith - and telling a bystander, “Mesa going to hurt yousa.”

That’s not all. He’s also disembarking what looks to be the Millennium Falcon, painted in black and red. It seems like Jar Jar actor Ahmed Best is going to be getting his revenge.

George Lucas’ clumsy comedic relief attracted the ire of countless Star Wars fans in 1999’s Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. Since then, however, public perception has shifted.

There’s been a lot of sympathy for the heavily scorned Best. Also, a compelling fan theory suggesting Jar Jar was an undercover Sith operative all along have led to the character's revival.

In LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, we’ll see his true colours - and they’re black and red.

What is the story in LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy?

According to the official synopsis, “the entire Star Wars galaxy gets completely mixed up when an ordinary nerf-herder, Sig Greebling (Gaten Matarazzo), unearths a powerful artifact called the Cornerstone from a hidden Jedi temple. He finds himself thrust into adventure in a new, wondrously wild and twisted version of the galaxy where good guys are bad, bad guys are good, and the fate of all depends on Sig becoming the hero who can put all the pieces back together.”
