Ahmed Best thought he’d made it big when cast as Jar Jar Binks in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. But it turned into a nightmare of online abuse and accusations of racism. With a new podcast revisiting his story, the actor talks about why he’s still proud of his historic role
It is a shame as Best was really good as a CGI actor. Of all the criticisms I have of the character, none of them come from the acting.
All they had to do was have a third act reveal of Darth Jar Jar with a complete tone shift like they did with Yoda in Empire. Fucker would have been iconic.
Great read! I had no idea.
Darth Jar Jar
It honestly makes a lot of sense.
… poor guy!
ive done some really cringy shit in my time, but i couldn’t imagine having to take credit for giving life to fucking jar-jar. 😭
Did you read the article? The guy almost killed himself from having to listen to comments like this one. Asshole. Keep it to yourself.
