Dear DICE developers and producer Paul Keslin,
It
has come to our attention through a YouTube interview between
DICE producer Paul Keslin and interviewer Angry Joe, uploaded to the public on
YouTube on 17th June 2017, that Mr. Keslin and other developers at DICE are *fans* of the character Jar Jar Binks, and have expressed interest to Lucasfilm
to include Jar Jar Binks in the upcoming game Battlefront II.
We,
the undersigned, think this is a brilliant
idea and fully
support you in this.
Some
of us believe in the popular Star Wars fan theory known as 'the Darth Jar Jar
theory' which first surfaced on reddit on 30th October 2015 by
famed redditor u/Lumpawarroo, and which since then has gone viral, becoming at one point one of the most popular fan theories on Reddit.
You may have heard of it.
It inspired one fan, author and future r/darthjarjar moderator u/onemanaswerfactory, to create the darthjarjar.com website and then the r/DarthJarJar subreddit,
the members of which went on to analyse the films, the Clone Wars and Rebels TV
shows, and other Star Wars media.
The first part of r/DarthJarJar's
2 year long work has been collated in in this Holocron.
If we are not correct in our theory, then we
are at least dedicated, passionate and creative fans. A frequent poster and
r/DarthJarJar’s artist, remthedeathgoddess on DeviantArt, has created the Featured Image. Though believers in this theory are only a small part of your fanbase, we can translate our passion into increased sales of Battlefront II.
We
would be immensely grateful if you would consider the inclusion of a Darth Jar
Jar character in the game, if not playable, then as a non-playable enemy, or
another dark-side NPC.
However,
the support is not limited to believers of the Darth
Jar Jar theory.
There
are many others for whom (non-Sith, even clumsy) Jar Jar Binks is an
interesting character in his own right, however all too often these Jar Jar
fans, like us and like yourselves, are ridiculed by the haters of Jar Jar.
As Ahmed Best once said, the
fans who liked Jar Jar as children are now grown into adults, (some with awesome jobs such as game developers for instance!) and will not
stand for the bullying for the characters they choose to like.
If you were to include even
a non-Sith Jar Jar in a massive online game such as Battlefront II, it would
mean a lot to these fans, of which there are many more than you may think.
We, the
undersigned, would like DICE to include Jar Jar in the updates of Battlefront
II.
We understand that you may not
respond to this petition, and the difficulty of your job, creating awesome Battlefront
games, without responding to fan requests.
However we would like you to
consider it.
Thank
you.
From, a fellow Jar Jar fan.
I'd really like to play as Jar Jar in Battlefront II. It makes sense to put his character in the game seeing as Naboo is one of the locations.
