Talk:Jar Jar Binks/Legends

Rumors of the Past
Back before the year 2002, people told my Jar Jar would die in Episode II, plus I heard that from so many places.

Was I the only one who heard this rumor or did others hear it as well? Double D 01:36, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)


 * I'm assuming that some people Hoped Jar Jar would die, and that may be how they started. However, it appears they were just that, rumors. -- SFH 01:49, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Senator
Jar Jar Binks was a Representative...not a Senator. Am I wrong? --SparqMan 09:50, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)


 * A handful of sources use the title Senator, notable his Ep II action figure. It is possible an alternate title for "Represenatative" is "Junior Senator" which was thrown around in old WEG sources.  This would also explain why Bail Antilles's aides, Aks Moe's aides, and Orn Free Taa's aides are called "Senator so and so" in some sources, and how there can be more than one Senator for Ryloth, Devaron, etc.JustinGann 10:46, 8 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Tonight's Evasive Action:Prey strip said in aurebesh that Emperor Palpatine sent Senator Binks somewhere, so maybe he is the Senator of Naboo now.--Rune Haako 02:35, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Jar Jar's death
Unlike what the main article states, Jar Jar did die on Alderaan when it was blown up in episode IV, Jar Jar had moved there to assist Bail Organa.

It cannot be any other way, Jar Jar was so annoying (to put it mildly) that the only way I can tolerate his presence is by knowing he died on Alderaan. I cheer every time Alderaan gets blown up in episode IV! --82.156.49.1 03:48, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Fine. Show us a Canon source and we will submit. Until then, STOP PUTTING IT IN THE ARTICLE! -- SFH 04:04, 31 Dec 2005 (UTC) P.h 01:35, 11 Jan 2006 (UTC)p.h
 * Jar Jar hating is so 1999. You'd think the peer pressure wulda worn off by now. --86.135.217.213 02:33, 4 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Binks' death on Alderaan is Supershadow crap. Lt. 1993 20:05, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Naw man, it is true. When they show Aldreraan blow up, there is a little Gungan in the foreground screaming "Wesa dead!" It has to be Jar Jar. Just kidding.

Lucas comments
Edited this passage: ''Edit: This theory was supported by a comment by George Lucas on the Star Wars Episode III DVD. The information that Jar Jar returned to Coruscant and served the Imperial Senate also originates from Lucas.'' primarily for stylistic reasons. Can someone confirm that my revised text, which states that A comment by George Lucas on the Revenge of the Sith DVD indicates that Jar Jar returned to Coruscant and served the Imperial Senate, is correct? The previous version makes it seem like Lucas has said both that Binks died on Alderaan and that he lived on Coruscant.

Also, wasn't it confirmed that the Gungan on Naboo in the ROTJ victory celebration wasn't Jar Jar? &mdash; Silly Dan 00:26, 15 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I think that the sentence this theory was supported by GL refers to the theory that the "Death of Jar Jar" speculation, perhaps originates from fans who hated him. MoffRebus 23:10, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

EU
Don't ya just love how so little EU will touch him? :D Adamwankenobi 12:38, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC) I just noticed something. It says in Jar Jar's bio that he settled down and had a family. There is no proof of that.Hitokiri Akins 20:54, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, he's pretty much got his own Young Reader's series - including a relationship with the female gungan Fassa. Yes, Jar Jar had a girlfriend... QuentinGeorge 21:01, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Someone should probably make an article on Fassa (Gungan). That article leads to a male Twi'lek. -- SFH 21:05, 13 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I liked Jar Jar's two Tales comics. Kuralyov 23:17, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * That bit of info was based on Lucas' comments on Jar Jar's fate. Adamwankenobi 23:55, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It may be based on that, but it's still conjecture, and has no definite proof in the either the EU or G-canon. However, if someone can provide a link to where it was said or proof that he said it, I will relent.Hitokiri Akins 12:54, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Hidden information on Jar Jar's possible fate

 * If anyone follows the Evasive Action: Prey webstrip, you know that yesterday's strip showed Tremayne watching a Holonet news broadcast. On top of the screen showed a message in Aurebesh and so I translated it and this is what it said.

“In other news... Gungan Senator Binks was sent by Emperor Palpatine to...”

What can be made of this? I have a hunch it wasn't something good. DarthMaul431 01:32, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * It confirms that Jar Jar succeeds Padme in the senate, though... QuentinGeorge 01:35, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Who says it wasn't something nice? "Gungan Senator Binks was sent by Emperor Palpatine to..." "...get some delicious ice cream." Or something to that effect. We just don't know. &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  02:28, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly. It doesn't confirm his death, only that he was Senator after Padme. QuentinGeorge 05:05, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Why would you assume Palpatine would want anything bad to happen to Jar Jar? Palpatine probably loves having someone that easily manipulated around, I'd wager if anything he'd want more people that dumb on the Senate, not less... after all, it's the smart politicians who can see through Palpatine's lies and cause dissent. --199.79.168.160 06:46, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd have to disagree, with Palpatines mistrust of any non-human . Yes , we all wish he died a horrible death . Of course this happened a long , long time ago sooooo odds are that dork is dead .TK867 22:06, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * If Jar Jar continues to be of use to Palpatine, he's not going to squander the advantage by offing Jar Jar just because he's xenophobic. Palpatine's too shrewd a politician to do that - Kwenn 22:08, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I like Darth Culator's "delicious ice cream" theory myself. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:28, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Where do people get the idea that Palpatine didn't trust/hated non-humans? A Zabrak apprentice, numerous non-human advisors and aides...  No, I'd say he wasn't anti-non-human at all.  A more suiting statement would be to say that he merely USED xenophobia and racism inherent in the Core's vastly human majority against the mostly alien Rim.  Why?  Same reason EVERY dictator NEEDS an enemy to survive.  -SWVRoma
 * And Thrawn.... Cutch 05:40, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

Picture
I would like to see a good picture of Jar Jar up here from Episode I. It was, afterall, his most prominent time in G-Cannon. Would someone please put one up?--66.188.62.225 19:48, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Done. Adamwankenobi Talk to me! My home. 20:02, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I've put the AOTC pic back in the main box, because it's a less distracting pic of him. QuentinGeorge 22:49, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm sort of an unbiased third party here, I don't care either way, but... "less distracting"? a) How is it less distracting, and b) distracting from what? Cutch 04:10, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Simpsons Reference
Comic book guy, on the Simpsons, is shown sleeping with a Jar Jar doll. Can't remember the exact episode, though.

There was also the Jar-Jar knock off, Jim-Jam .TK867 04:22, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Jar Jar racism controversy
I noticed that this article contains no information on the controversy concerning a connection between Jar Jar and black people (in most cases, Jamaicans). This includes Lucas' quotes on the theory, the "Jar Jar"/"Jah Jah" issue, and et cetera. Should this article be unlocked for the time being? I can supply information on the matter if need be. (In fact, Wikipedia has a good deal of information on the controversy as well.) MC Otaku 09:49, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Some information is already in the second paragraph of the BtS section (though it doesn't mention Jamaicans specifically.) I suppose the article could be unprotected now, though. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:27, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, the theory is dumb, especially the Jamaican bit, and I don't think is needed in the article. QuentinGeorge 01:57, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree that it's silly, but at the very least it should be pointed out that the controversy existed. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 02:16, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Jar Jar appearing in Galactic Battlegrounds is an Easter egg...
...so I am removing the last sentence which speculates "he may have been present during the Liberation of Coruscant."

Jar Jar in the battle of naboo
Yeah sure he sets of those energy boalls and blew up a few driods but i believe this article is exaggerating the number of droids killed.-jackchen123
