The cult members placed Binks in a cage suspended above a lava pit where he found the other captured Dagoyan masters, who informed him that they were to be sacrificed to Malmourral. Binks managed to contact Master Windu with his comlink and transmit his location. However, the Frangawl cult leader discovered it and had it destroyed. Binks also encountered Julia who revealed that the Frangawl cultists were stealing the Force from the Dagoyan masters. The Frangawl cultists then attempted to sacrifice Binks himself.
However, Master Windu arrived and managed to fight off the cult members and free Binks. Unfortunately, the cult leader escaped the planet with the Queen in a starship. While traveling through space, Binks recounted to Master Windu how he had witnessed the cultists sacrificing one of the Dagoyan Masters and extracting the Living Force from his body which they stored in the Bardottan Sphere. Based on this information, Windu deduced that the cultists would extract the Living Force from Queen Julia herself and used his Force powers to track her location.
Their travels took them to a market square on the moon Zardossa Stix. Amidst the crowd, Binks caught up with the screaming Julia but found himself cornered by several of the cultists. Binks managed to flee his pursuers and tried to pursue the group with the captive Queen. During the ensuing chaos, Windu saved Binks from being gunned down by a cultist armed with a EWHB heavy repeating blaster.
Continuing their pursuit, Binks and Windu were set upon by an animal trainer and his two gundarks. During the fray, the trainer relieved Windu of his lightsaber using his whip.
Binks then punched the trainer and retrieved the lightsaber with his tongue, and returned it to the Jedi Master. Windu managed to stun one of the gundarks and to kill the other. Binks continued the pursuit but the cultists escaped in two speeders. 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 in order 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 guardian's 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 managed to push 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 managed to survive this explosion and escape the temple.
Following her rescue, Queen Julia thanked Binks and Windu and expressed hope that these events would lead to better understanding between the Bardottans and the Jedi. Jar Jar Binks continued to represent the Gungans in Naboo's senatorial delegation throughout the Clone Wars, though his accomplishments in politics were never as significant as his vote on the Military Creation Act. He had also apparently learned to keep his mouth shut after the "Emergency Powers" debacle, learning from his substantial mistake that had led to one of the bloodiest wars in galactic history.
After the formation of the New Order , Binks was considered an ally of the new Emperor, and an Imperial HoloVision report shortly after the end of the Clone Wars mentioned that he had personally sent Senator Binks to an undisclosed location.
Binks was alive and well in 6. While he was never involved in this liberation, he was situated relatively close to some of the action. Jar Jar Binks was clumsier than most of his fellow Gungans, which was the reason why he was banished from Otoh Gunga. He would often explain his dislike, lashing out with his long tongue. Like all Gungans, he spoke with a peculiar Basic dialect, which sometimes made him hard to understand.
He often held a certain irreverence for his superiors—often making faces behind their backs, but he would still obey their orders. He was socially active, trying to communicate with sentients around him, and making new friends.
He had some aptitude mechanically; he was able to perform maintenance on Anakin Skywalker's pod. For that deed, he was promoted to general. He would lead the Gungan army against the battle droids, destroying many of them, even if sometimes by accident. As a politician, Binks successfully represented the Gungans for several years, but when he had to take the role of senator, he was easily manipulated by Palpatine's cronies.
During the filming of the prequel trilogy , Best appeared on set in costume to provide a reference point for the other actors and appeared partially on-screen in a few shots, such as the close-up of Jar Jar's hand getting stuck in Skywalker's podracer.
During the early development stages of The Phantom Menace , George Lucas had first envisioned Jar Jar as an "talking, feeling, walking, running, falling, fainting bundle of amphibious comic relief. Many fans pinned their disappointments with The Phantom Menace on Jar Jar and his comedic antics, which they felt both fell flat on their targets and even offended some viewers.
Many Star Wars fans express their distaste for the character of Binks in a variety of media. One such group of disgruntled viewers were prompted to create a fan film named "Jar Jar's Walking Papers," which depicts the death of Jar Jar. This plot was invented to give an additional action in the Otoh Gunga mission, but the movie does not show that this event occurred, so this event is non-canon. Bush and his election promise of " no new taxes.
It is flanked by mounted trophies of a Kowakian monkey-lizard head and a Dianoga eyestalk, both nods to Salacious B. Crumb and the trash compactor monster from Episode IV.
The carbonite-encased Binks is a nod to a full-sized version that a fan made for one of the Star Wars Celebrations and is now located at the Letterman Digital Arts Center. Binks , in contrast to his son, was a dignified, intelligent character, who despairs at Binks's foolish antics. The Liberation of Coruscant mission of the Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds: Clone Campaigns game features a sprite identified as Jar Jar among the skyscrapers of Coruscant , seen only if the player decides to explore the whole game map with an air unit or by using cheat codes.
This is a superficially canonical indication that Binks was alive and well, and living on Coruscant, during the New Republic era. It may also be only an " Easter egg " like many featured in the game, and thus dubiously canonical.
In the Naboo celebration scene inserted into the end of the version of Return of the Jedi , several Gungans are seen taking part in the celebrations. One Gungan can be heard shouting "Wesa free! Wood says he inserted the unscripted line as a joke, and Lucas liked it enough to leave in the final cut.
In late October , a Reddit user by the name of "Lumpawarroo" published a theory speculating that Binks was originally written as a major antagonist of the series, as Darth Jar Jar , and a prominent collaborator with Palpatine, before being redacted from the villain's role due to the character's initial and ongoing negative reception.
The post quickly became viral and received significant media coverage internationally by independent bloggers and major news outlets like The Guardian , The Washington Post , and The New York Times that included analysis of his actions in The Phantom Menace.
Ahmed Best, who portrayed Jar Jar Binks in motion capture and voice, tweeted his thoughts on how it "feels good" when the truth comes out shortly after the theory gained widespread popularity. He was elected to the position of senator on a "no new taxes" platform.
During the Clone Wars, Binks was re-elected with wide popular approval, despite the fact that his opponent another Gungan brought up his record of clumsiness, political errors, and service in 'war. When contacted by Darth Sidious, he also somehow managed to convince Sidious to work for him. After Binks's retirement, he married and later fathered a son who they named Abso Bar Binks. He was a kind father and always tried to bring presents home to both his wife and children, but the presents were always confiscated by the Empire at checkpoints.
This led his son to join the growing Rebellion and join the crew of the Tantive V. The result of the attack led to Binks being hit with a blaster bolt and breaking into pieces, though his legs still ran around.
He has his name and the words " Gungan Style " above him. Binks is represented musically by his own motif called Jar Jar's Theme. Wookieepedia Explore. The Bad Batch. Star Wars.

Archived from the original on January 26 , Archived from the original on December 6 , So, in the spirit of appreciation, let's explore everything that makes this character tick. As quoted in People Magazine , Lucas explained, "I can't even begin to tell you how much of an influence Disney has had on me The similarities between the two characters are indeed clear: Just look at their gangly physiques, floppy ears, and unerring positivity.
Jar Jar also shares Goofy's innate clumsiness — his loose-limbed blundering often leads to mishaps and misadventures.
Goofy's not the only influence on Jar Jar, however: His actor, Ahmed Best, also drew inspiration from legendary physical comedians of early cinema, including Buster Keaton. You may not have heard of Terryl Whitlatch, but there's a good chance you've seen her work. After studying zoology at Sonoma State University, Whitlach turned to creature design. While other artists contributed to the final design, Whitlatch was responsible for everything from Jar Jar's walk to his coloration to his skeleton.
As she remembered in a interview with ArtStation Magazine , Whitlatch was exhausted after wrapping up work on a Super Bowl commercial, "and a little drawing of a worried frog-like creature came out of [that state of mind]. When she was brought on as the creature designer for The Phantom Menace , Whitlatch brought the sketch with her to Skywalker Ranch.
In the end, as she relayed in an interview with Allan McKay , Jar Jar's design also drew from real-world sources, combining elements from dinosaurs, amphibians, and parrotfish. According to Whitlatch, using Earthly elements is the big-picture key to designing Star Wars, so that "people can imagine themselves in that universe. Yes, you read that right. Michael Jackson, the legendary pop star , really wanted to play Jar Jar Binks.
Marinate on that one. I still am. Hoping to clarify things, Vice pressed him on the subject. According to Best, when Lucas took some of the cast backstage to meet Jackson at Wembley Arena, "George introduced me as 'Jar Jar' and I was like, t hat's kind of weird. Lucas responded that Jackson had wanted the role, but that he wanted to do it in prosthetics and makeup, while Lucas wanted to bring the character to life using CGI.
Jackson has appeared on the big screen before, notably as the Scarecrow in 's The Wiz. But Best is right to note that it is very difficult to watch Michael Jackson on screen and not be keenly aware that you are watching the King of Pop. Ultimately, whether or not the benefits of a fully practical Jar Jar would have outweighed the costs of Jackson's distracting presence will always remain a mystery. Say literally whatever you want about Jar Jar Binks, but his importance in the history of motion capture performance is undeniable.
Indeed, Jar Jar holds the distinction of being the first entirely computer-generated supporting character in a live-action feature film. On set, Ahmed Best wore a prosthetic costume that served as both a reference for his fellow actors and for the animators, who could use the prosthetics to create believable lighting.
In , a video from WIRED claiming to cover the "history of performance-capture technology" omitted mention of the infamous Gungan. This sparked a wider conversation about Best and ILM's trailblazing contribution to motion capture, which has since become a vital part of modern filmmaking.
In response to Jar Jar's erasure from the WIRED video and from conversations of mo-cap's history more broadly , Best emphasized that "to deny Jar Jar's place in film history is to deny the hundreds of VFX technicians, animators, code writers, and producers their respect Jar Jar walked so Gollum could run. It is easy to assume Lucas' investment is purely financial — after all, one of the loudest criticisms levied against Jar Jar is that he, like the Ewoks before him , only exists to sell Star Wars toys to easily-impressed children.
However, even after all these years, Lucas continues to profess what appears to be honest, unwavering love for Jar Jar Binks.
At a fan event celebrating the 20th anniversary of T he Phantom Menace, Lucas announced, "[ The Phantom Menace ] is one of my favorite movies and of course Jar Jar is my favorite character. Rather than ignore his creation, or apologize for what fans perceive as Jar Jar's sins, Lucas has doubled down on his conviction that Jar Jar rules.
It's honestly kind of sweet. If you're familiar with the Star Wars prequels, there's a good chance you're aware of the vicious backlash directed towards Jar Jar Binks. Skip Navigation Disney. Log In. Show More Loading What's This? Jar Jar the Mechanic. Emergency Powers. Jar Jar the Jedi.
