CLASSIC ART: WARRIORS OF THE PLAINS!

 

Captain Tarpals and his brave Gungan warriors assemble on the plains of Naboo, astride their loyal Kaadu mounts, before their great battle against the Trade Federation begins, in lovely production painting art by Doug Chiang for EPISODE I.

THE 'PHANTOM' AT TWENTY: WHEN JAR JAR WENT TO WAR!

No time to rest, Jar Jar!

It's "ouch time' for the Gungans as their battle against the Trade Federation is cut short with the destruction of their shield and the arrival of the rolling Droidekas, forcing them back into the hills and ultimately to surrender, but not before 'Bombad General' Jar Jar Binks' clumsiness soon sends him back into the war zone to cause unintentional enemy casualties! A deliberately whacky comedy sequence for the film created by George Lucas in homage to the incredible comic talents and stunt works of the Classic Hollywood B/W movie great, Buster Keaton.

Going downhill in an avalanche of Booma energy balls.

Hang on Jar Jar!

Captain Tarpals (far left) to the rescue?

THE CLONE WARS: A DIFFERENT KIND OF COMBAT!

Pathetic and incompetent aliens the Gungan peoples of Naboo are certainly not, as General Grievous discovers to his surprise and cost in battle against them, during events within the intriguing The Clone Wars animated series Season Four episode, Shadow Warrior.

Looking meaner than ever in the Battlefront II game.

It's nice to see the gruesome Prequel saga villain make an impressive recent comeback:

BEHIND THE SCENES: GUNGANS ON CALL...

Getting ready to film their next scene set within the blue screen environs of what will become the watery confines of Naboo's Otoh Gunga, Jar Jar Binks actor Ahmed Best and Steven Spiers, playing Captain Tarpals, are on set at Leavesden Studios, during the 1997 filming of EPISODE I.
