Jar Jar, Shmi and Qui-Gon shares the same opinion about it: it's barbaric. Jar Jar also don't know, what is a difference between a queen and her loyal subjects. He offers the same warmth to Queen Amidala as he offered to Anakin and anyone else. And ironically, he is the only one who serves as a bridge between the two peoples. What Jar Jar knows is something essential, and something what most people in our times forgot: he is kind to everybody he meets, he views living beings as living beings instead of seeing the roles invented by society, and he don't see the walls what people build between each other.
He has the purest wisdom, the wisdom of the heart. His location is crucial: first and foremost, he is banished from the Gungan society, representing the Dark - warlike, proud, violent culture - and he is not allowed to enter to realm of the Naboo, the Light - the peaceful, ascendant, harmonic culture. He is in the middle, because he is the Balance what is achieved at the end of The Phantom Menace: he knows that when it comes to aggression, you need to fight back, to protect peace, so he is not welcomed in Naboo cities, and he is not fit for soldier - he is clumsy - so he is forced out from the Gungan city.
Jar Jar can only be accepted in a society what is ready to fight to protect it's values, but sees fighting itself something what needs to be avoided. Notice: eventually both the Naboo and the Gungan ends up in the swamp: on a holy site, to embrace each other. In conclusion, think Jar Jar's character is actually one of the best parts of Star Wars.
He appears annoying and stupid, but in reality, it's only because he can't find his place in our twisted world. He knows the law of love instead of the law of Man, if you like. He can't understood the rules of the society becoming so distant from nature, distant from natural kindness toward each other - he is lost in the world what lost in itself. I am happy that 20 years can alleviate disappointment and allow for new examinations. I think it is difficult for newer fans to really understand what it was like in , when mainstream Star Wars was only three movies and the imagery and feel of those original three were so deeply ingrained in the generation that grew up with them.
You had to be in the theater in to know the feeling. But, time is wonderful for retrospective analyses and broader awakenings. Jar Jar deserves it. Lucas has always been an adroit business man, and it soon became apparent that the prequels were more thinly veiled vehicles designed to sell toys than actual movies.
Even before the release of The Phantom Menace, Jar Jar earned derision for being a goofy caricature of Jamaican rastafarians or even a racist depiction of African Americans. Despite the film becoming a massive hit, the character of Jar Jar still received an overwhelmingly negative reception.
After questioning the trainer, Binks and Windu continued their rescue mission on an eopie and dalgo. Meanwhile, the cultists arrived at a Zardossan temple, where they were joined by the Nightsister Mother Talzin , who wanted to sacrifice Queen Julia to steal her Force energy. After tangling with the temple's stone guardians , Windu and Binks stormed the temple.
While Windu and Mother Talzin fought, Binks used one of the stone guardians' weapons to blast the cult members and to free Queen Julia from her bonds. While Binks grappled with the cult leader, the planets aligned, and a beam of energy blasted through a series of lenses.
While the cult leader was killed by the blast of energy, Julia pushed Binks out of harm's way. The Force sphere fell from its pedestal and shattered, releasing a powerful explosion.
Binks along with Windu and Julia survived this explosion and escaped the temple. Following her rescue, Queen Julia thanked Binks and Windu and expressed hope that these events would lead to a better understanding between the Bardottans and the Jedi.
Following the Battle of Coruscant , Binks was among the many politicians who greeted Chancellor Palpatine after Kenobi and Skywalker had successfully rescued him. Later, Binks was present in the Chancellor's office along with the rest of the senators when they presented the Petition of 2, to Palpatine and Anakin, acting as his personal bodyguard. Following the death of his colleague and close friend Senator Amidala, Binks was among the chief mourners attending her funeral, along with Boss Nass.
During the invasion of Mon Cala , the Jedi Padawan Ferren Barr had his droid Endee show a holographic image of a list of files compiled in his previous exploits. Among these was a file on Binks that was placed directly under a file for Darth Plagueis and above the file for Amidala. Because of his role in abetting the rise of the Empire, Binks was once again exiled by his people. After the Battle of Endor and the rise of the New Republic , he performed in the streets of Theed as a clown who was popular with children but not so much with their parents.
Many Gungan and Naboo adults refused to speak to him or say his name. Binks entertained the children by performing numerous antics including wagging his tongue, juggling glombo shells , spitting fish up in the air and catching them, dancing around, and swallowing and flushing out water through his ears.
Mapo was a charge at a nearby orphanage who had been severely burned after the Empire had bombed his home on the fuel depot Golus Station. Due to hideous burns, Mapo found few people who were willing to talk to him, let alone adopt him.
After Binks caught a pik-pok fish with his long tongue, he asked the boy where he came from. Mapo related how he had lost his parents during the Imperial bombardment of Golus Station. Taking pity on the boy, Binks did another trick by swallowing water and spraying it out through his ears. When Mapo told Binks that nobody talked to him, Binks revealed that he was an outcast because many Gungans and Naboo believed he had helped the Empire.
A sympathetic Mapo opined that he did not think that Binks had aided the Empire and suggested that they were both outcasts. While Binks appeared to accept his fate, Mapo pointed out that he had a low chance of being adopted due to his disfigurement.
When Mapo suggested that the two could go nowhere together, Binks replied that that was a "bombad"—or great—idea. When Mapo asked Binks if he could teach him to be a clown, Binks gratefully accepted Mapo's request and the boy's friendship. Sometime after the fall of the Empire, some individuals wrongly believed that Binks and Darth Vader were the same person.
Binks was remembered after the Galactic Civil War 's Battle of Endor , and he was mentioned by a member of the Whills as someone to be remembered in galactic history. Jar Jar Binks was often regarded by his peers as clumsy and annoying, traits that led many people to deride and underestimate him. His clumsiness led to his banishment from his home city of Otoh Gunga. On another occasion, his tendency to grab food with his tongue got him into trouble with a local bully on Tatooine named Sebulba.
Despite these flaws, Binks was also capable of being brave, loyal, and dependable. Binks played a significant role in turning the tide of the Invasion of Naboo by helping Queen Amidala to win the support of the Gungans in driving out the Trade Federation invaders.
Due to his role in the Battle of Naboo, the former Gungan outcast won much respect among both his people and the Naboo.
Binks was also dependable in the most challenging of situations. On one occasion, Binks displayed courage when he impersonated Boss Lyonie during a mission to stop the Separatists from turning the Gungans against the Naboo. Binks' actions helped restore relations between the Jedi Order and the Bardottans. While not comprehending the gravity of the situation, Binks was vaguely aware of the reasons he had been ostracized.
Binks was popular with refugee children due to his funny antics and a good sense of humor. Binks found an unlikely friend in the form of the disfigured refugee boy Mapo , who was one of the few people willing to speak to him. After Mapo opined that Binks was not to blame for helping the Empire, the Gungan gratefully accepted the boy's request to receive training to be a clown.
As a Gungan, Jar Jar Binks could live comfortably both on land and underwater. He had a long tongue which he used for grabbing food and other objects. Binks also knew how to pilot a bongo sub and had a good navigational knowledge of Naboo's watery core. On one occasion, he used his slime to seal Senator Amidala's damaged faceplate during a mission to Mon Cala, saving her from drowning in the oceans of that watery planet.
Homeless, Binks found work in Theed as a clown and street performer. Binks' funny antics and acrobatic exercises in a water fountain made him popular with refugee children. Jar Jar Binks was played by Ahmed Best in the prequel trilogy. Viewer response to the character in Star Wars : Episode I The Phantom Menace was deeply negative: Best stated the criticism "hurt me emotionally and it was hard to take at the time, [although] it wasn't debilitating for me.
I just put my shoes on and went back to work. According to Best, there was going to be a scene in which Palpatine thanked Binks for granting him the emergency powers that allowed him to take over the galaxy, but it was deleted from the final cut. Best claimed in early that this was in fact Phil LaMarr , [32] who confirmed it at the end of the year during an Avatar: The Last Airbender rewatch panel, where he talked about the roles he took over in the Clone Wars series. Jar Jar's fate following the events of the prequels was finally revealed in when Binks made a cameo appearance in Chuck Wendig 's novel Aftermath: Empire's End , the final installment of The Aftermath Trilogy , which is set after the events of Return of the Jedi.
According to book reviewer and author Chris Taylor, Binks' popularity with children and ostracism by adult Naboo and Gungans was a subtle commentary on the polarized attitudes towards the character within the Star Wars fan community. In late October , a Reddit user by the name of "Lumpawarroo" speculated that Binks was originally written as a major antagonist of the series, as Darth Jar Jar, and a prominent collaborator with Sheev Palpatine , before being redacted from the villain's role due to the character's initial and ongoing negative reception.
In William Shakespeare's The Phantom of Menace: Star Wars Part the First , Jar Jar Binks was portrayed as a wise character who played the role of the clown publicly to those such as the Jedi to mask his cunning insights regarding culture and politics. He was cast out from Gungan society for his radical opinions regarding uniting the Gungan culture with that of the humans of Naboo but maintained to Qui-Gon Jinn that he was ejected due to being "clumsy.
