Whatever happened to Jar Jar Binks? (A cautionary tale for the GOP?)


According to a New Star Wars Novel, Jar Jar Binks Lived Out the Rest of His Life As a Sad Clown Haunted by Guilt
By Jackson McHenry

After he goofily, accidentally helped give Senator Palpatine control over the galactic senate and made Star Wars fans over the age of 8 question their allegiance to the franchise, we didn’t see much of Jar Jar Binks in the Star Wars universe. The Star Wars novel Aftermath: Empire’s End is finally giving the world’s Jar Jar heads the closure they need. The novel contains a section wherein we learn that the goofy Gungan was shunned for his political mistakes, and eventually took up a life on Naboo as a sad clown haunted by his guilt.
