| Jar Jar Binks to appear in next SW movie |
Jar Jar has been the most controversial Star Wars character since Lucas changed the first movie to show Han Solo not shooting first. Binks was a completely CGI figure in the newer trilogy. Many largely looked at the figure as at best a comedy prop showcasing what Lucas could do with CGI, not what he should do with CGI; at worse the character was looked at as a potentially racist figure with a stereotypical sing song African American dialect.
Binks portrayed a lost foolish creature in the first movie that befriended young Anakin Skywalker (aka Darth Vader). In the second movie Binks was elevated to a Galactic Senator and was used as a puppet by Chancellor Palpetine to rest power from the Senate and to Palpatine, who soon turned the Galaxy into his own Empire.
