Ubisoft's Star Wars Game Should Focus on Jar Jar Binks and Gungans

Yous've no doubt heard the news, Ubisoft Massive announcing that it will exist working with the newly appear Lucasfilm Games to create a make-new Star Wars game. And and then far, details are incredibly scarce, which is no surprise. But we do know that artistic director, Julian Gerighty has said it will be a story-driven, open-globe game. And that got me thinking near all the many stories in the Star Wars universe we could see come forth. And I finally settled on a story in which you lot play as a Gungan warrior on Naboo. Or, and hear me out here, you play as Jar Jar Binks.

There's a huge, potentially global dislike toward Jar Jar Binks and I've never quite understood why. Sure, the character was goofy and obviously presented in such a way to give the films some comedic nudge. I was coming up to the historic period of 10 when I saw Phantom Menace in cinemas, and sure enough, the character left an impression on me. There'due south no denying that he was one of the most memorable characters and didn't deserve the hatred of which the actor, Ahmed Best was subjected to.

Star Wars is a huge universe of which many planets with many cultures reside. And while Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Clubhas you jumping between different planets, I tin can't imagine Ubisoft having an open-earth on numerous planets, and as such would just settle for one story on one planet. And I think a story assault Naboo would be fantastic.

Naboo is an iconic planet, which is populated past both humans and Gungans — depending on the timeline. It boasts flooded caves, beautiful waters, grassy hills, dense forests, slimy swamps, vast seas, and even the cute city, Theed. It has everything you'd expect from a Ubisoft open-world game.

And that's non all, the new Star Wars game has been said to be being developed on the Snowdrop engine, which has previously been used to developThe Divisionserial, Starlink: Battle for Atlas,and plain an UntitledAvatargame. Nosotros already know Snowdrop tin handle a massive metropolis equally presented byThe Division.We knowStarlinkwas capable of doing the shooty pew-pew effects thatStar Warsis known for every bit well every bit exploring planets' vast landscapes. And given how cute theAvatarmotion picture's wood was, the Snowdrop engine would have to deliver the aforementioned level of detail.

[Naboo] has everything yous'd look from a Ubisoft open-world game.

Simply having the role player take control of a Gungan warrior of sorts with an RPG organization to level up and acquire new skills could permit fans of the Star Warsuniverse to learn more most the Gungan species, perhaps even finding the story taking identify during the period in which Naboo joined the Galactic Commonwealth, that style players could experience some gripping missions ready during the early celebrations of the Festival of Lite. Video games love those big events where the activity takes place unknowingly effectually jubilant NPCs.

At present, the whole idea of playing equally Jar Jar Binks himself could allow the states to experience his life either leading up to the events in The Phantom Menace such as his adjournment, or the bits in between the films that we don't see, or even his love interest. But and so, Ubisoft'south welcomed opinion on allowing players to play as dissimilar protagonists such as Assassin's Creed Odysseyand Assassin's Creed Valhallamay hateful it'd be better to present a story of a Gungan warrior that goes through similar situations, with Jar Jar Binks playing a recurring role.

[Gungan'southward] seem to have the dexterity for performing all way of traversal tricks.

I don't know almost y'all, but I'd love to be able to explore the underwater-based Otoh Gunga or go fishing at ane of the lakes. I'd like to climb up the Gallo Mountains or wander through the streets of Theed. The planet has a whole host of potential for RPG elements. Flora to gather, species to observe, and those exploring glorious waterfalls you'll recall Anakin and Padme having a picnic nearby.

And that'south another reason why playing every bit a Gungan would make sense. Naboo is the Gungan's homeworld, and they seem to take the dexterity for performing all manner of traversal tricks. I imagine that while some may exist better suited for dealing devastating blows in gainsay, others would be able to clamber up trees in the swamps and forests, others may be able to swim with speed.

And in an RPG game, you lot'd have the power to choose where your skills in the Gungan population prevarication, besides as how charismatic you are, or persuasive. And taking heed from theAssassin Creedgames, imagine being able to seduce and bed another Gungan character.

I just experience like the story of being a Jedi or a Sith has become massively overdone now, and I'd like to see Ubisoft explore a more diverse story arc.

And then there's the awesome armour and weapons nosotros see the Gungan'southward employ in the films. In that location'southward enough of room for players to craft or earn new armour to look absurd and protected, and lots of weapons to shift between from ranged to melee. Oh, and those large, weird Ostrich looking Kaadu things that you could ride around the world for quicker transport.

I just feel like the story of being a Jedi or a Sith has get massively overdone now, and I'd like to meet Ubisoft explore a more diverse story arc. 1 that doesn't rely on mastering the ability of the force, and doing spinny lightsaber tricks, no matter how cool the weapon is. A Gungan-focused story might seem like a dizzy thought, but given what the planet has to offer, and the rich history of the species to explore, I think it could be a pretty good idea.

I guess nosotros'll have to wait until nosotros finally hear the first information be announced for the upcoming Star Wars game being developed by Ubisoft Massive. I just hope there's no space flight. I'grand not overly groovy on flying spaceships that much anymore. I'grand not sure why.

Have something to tell us well-nigh this commodity?
