Me-sa Not Liking This Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Easter Egg

Star Wars fans, adult Disney people, and theme-park nerds are currently flipping their gourds about Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Disneyland’s newest land opens to the public later this week, and Polygon’s Chris Plante has found an Easter egg that is sure to make at least one of those demo’s apoplectic. A gold bust of Jar Jar Binks, the dingus-turned-senator of the Star Wars prequels, can be found in Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities. This is the shop run by an animatronic snail guy that sells high-end replicas. On the second floor of the shop are numerous antiques and rare finds, including a statue in tribute to Jar Jar. The statue’s solid-gold status could make it a nod to not only the prequels but Raiders of the Lost Ark as well. What Imagineer came up with this little tribute, and are they aware that Jar Jar cast the vote that basically ended the Republic? Jar Jar Binks truly brings shame to all of Gungankind.
