Jar Jar Binks Art That Captivates Your Gaze

Discover the Unique Charm of Jar Jar Binks and Ahsoka Tano Through Art

Jar Jar Binks is a character that stands out for a multitude of reasons. His distinctive voice, quirky tongue, and the infamous blunders that catalyzed a galactic conflict make him unforgettable. However, it’s his captivating eyes that truly resonate with audiences, exuding a charm that is both endearing and memorable—screaming “Mesa back!” in a way that few characters can. This week, renowned artist Jason Edmiston showcases his talent in the Eyes Without a Face series, featuring two beloved characters from the Star Wars prequels: Jar Jar Binks and Ahsoka Tano, bringing their iconic features to life through captivating artwork.

Each piece of art, measuring 9 x 5 inches including the border, is produced in a limited edition of just 300, priced affordably at $35 each. Fans will have the opportunity to purchase these stunning artworks starting at noon ET on Friday, March 14, exclusively at Bottleneck Gallery. Don’t miss out on adding these unique pieces to your collection—mark your calendars!

If these captivating pieces look familiar, you have a keen eye for art! These stunning illustrations are the latest additions to Edmiston’s acclaimed Eyes Without a Face series, which started back in 2015 and has since celebrated numerous iconic characters from across popular culture. You can explore the extensive collection featured in a recently released book, showcasing the evolution of his artistry.

Initially, Edmiston was hesitant to delve into the Star Wars universe due to its vastness and significance. However, in 2022, he took the plunge, beginning with iconic figures like Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. He then expanded his repertoire to include Princess Leia and a Stormtrooper from the original trilogy, and even ventured into the prequels with Darth Maul. With this latest artwork, he embraces both a cinematic and animated character, demonstrating his versatile approach.

Edmiston has expressed a desire to explore every facet of the Star Wars galaxy, and with the introduction of these two distinctive artworks, he certainly achieves that goal. Although Rosario Dawson’s portrayal of Ahsoka Tano is beloved, capturing her animated version feels particularly fitting. And let’s not overlook Jar Jar Binks—whether you adore him or find him annoying, his expressive eyes will undoubtedly enhance your wall art collection.

Be sure to mark your calendars! Ahsoka and Jar Jar will be available for purchase starting at noon ET on Friday, March 14 at Bottleneck Gallery.
