I dont think anyone has polarized the star wars
universe than Jar Jar Binks, who was #4 on my list.
You seem to either love him or hate him with very
little in between. When we finally found out that
Jar Jar was indeed on the way, many groaned, but yet
some cheered. In the movies he was nothing abut a
bumbling boob that, while meaning well, always
seemed to screw things up or make things go awry.
This is what many of us wanted in a mini and we were
not disappointed. Jar Jar as a mini is just as
annoying and a pain in the butt as the figure in the
movies.
Jar Jar has no real offense of his own, but what he
does do is make you attack yourself. Gencon was the
premiere of Jar Jar in major play, and almost
immediately in sealed play cries arose with stories
of Jar Jar just made Vader kill himself or Luke Just
killed himself because of Jar Jar. It was the
perfect piece with the perfect effect.
Whether it be by name or ability, there is no doubt
that Jar Jar is a top figure of 2008. They dont come
any more annoying than Jar Jar. For Friday we look
at what happens when you clone a star.

Falling at #7 on the countdown Jar Jar Binks fit the
exact mold I saw him in. Living or dieing on
saves. But when paired with Yoda CS, making those
saves becomes a lot easier and makes beating him a
hard and annoying piece to play against as some
members at the Wizards forums expressed. One thing
I think of when I see Jar Jar is that he is only
piece I can think that truly makes having accurate
shot a hinderance. How many commanders and games
have been lost due to accurate shot one of the best
abilities in the game, more than enough to count.
One problem for Jar Jar though is that with the
release of Yobuck people will be playing him which
of course means not playing Yoda CS which is what
made Jar Jar so good but other than that nothing has
changed for Jar Jar since his release.
