Jar Jar Binks Actor Finally Feels the Love From Fans

Paeter recently talked about how we can better, more lovingly criticize things we don't like, and he played a clip from this video...



Ahmed Best, the actor who voiced Jar Jar Binks, was close to suicide due to the intense negative backlash he received after The Phantom Menace came out.

Thankfully he didn't go through with it, and he lived to experience this at Star Wars Celebration 2019...

"STAR WARS DAILY: ONCE SHUNNED, JAR JAR ACTOR AHMED BEST GETS A STANDING OVATION"

"The biggest reaction came for Best, though. He received an extended standing ovation, and then the crowd began to chant his name. The vibe in the hall was electric with positivity and love for a man who was so bullied for his role in the first years after the movie that he contemplated suicide. He asked the crowd to stop, though, lest he break down in tears."

That's so cool. Would have loved to have seen that. Hopefully that makes at least one room full of geeks who will think twice when posting. Thanks for sharing this!

I think this is the video of the interview:

Nice! Thanks for posting this!
