Hugh Grant stars as a strange and dangerous villain in Heretic, A24's new horror flick that debuted with $11 million last weekend. And at one point in the film he does an impression of Star Wars character Jar-Jar Binks and folks, it’s the worst impression of the hated alien I’ve ever heard. Suggested ReadingLive Forever in the Universe of 'New World: Aeternum'Suggested ReadingHeretic, a movie about two young women who quickly regret entering the home of Grant’s character, landed in theaters on November 8 and has already become one of A24's highest-grossing pictures, beating out movies like I Saw the TV Glow and Love Lies Bleeding in just a few days. Impressive stuff! What’s not so impressive is a moment in the movie in which Hugh Grant’s character does a brief impersonation of Jar-Jar Binks. On November 12, IGN posted a clip from Heretic showing Grant’s character talking about how, in the future, people will worship Jar-Jar Binks as a religious figure. The clip was later “borrowed” and reposted by DiscussingFilm on Twitter, where it blew up.Jar-Jar first appeared in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace in 1999 and people hated him. The negative reaction and abuse pushed Jar-Jar’s actor, Ahmed Best, to nearly kill himself. But since then, he’s bounced back, has a great family, and has returned to Star Wars as a badass Jedi who saved Grogu. Anyway, I have to imagine that Hugh Grant is aware of who Jar-Jar Binks is and at least looked up one video of the character talking. So I’m going to assume that the horrible impersonation is on purpose and is an example of how the character doesn’t know much about who Jar-Jar is, which might be a clue toward how much you can trust him. Or maybe Grant did it,. Daddy Binks - Infinite Fandom:Initiative - Facebook Daddy Binks Steam Community: Who's Your Daddy?!. Daddy BinksDaddy Binks - Infinite Fandom:Initiative - Facebook
It’s funny the things that stick out in your mind sometimes. For whatever reason I have a vivid memory of the first time I heard about Jar Jar Binks. It was in an Entertainment Weekly article about The Phantom Menace I believe, and Liam Neeson was predicting that a silly-talking space frog named Jar Jar Binks voiced by Ahmed Best would be a standout among the film’s cast, a fan favorite that audiences wouldn’t be able to stop talking about. In a Monkey’s Paw scenario, Neeson’s words about everybody talking about Jar Jar Binks came true in the darkest possible fashion. Jar Jar Binks did, in fact, stand out from the rest of the cast in the sense that he was inevitably singled out as an egregious, fatal flaw that all but single-handedly sunk an already dodgy enterprise. Nearly two decades on we still haven’t stopped talking about what an abomination Jar Jar is. We’ve never stopped wondering what the hell George Lucas was thinking when he sprung that abomination upon a world that only ever wanted to love him and his creations. Two decades on Jar Jar Binks remains a controversial figure who angrily demands to be in the conversation when discussing the worst characters ever created. Jar Jar Binks isn’t just hated the way unpopular characters are hated. He’s hated the way monsters, real and otherwise, are hated. He’s hated the way Hitler and Harvey Weinstein are hated. Jar Jar Binks is hated with a ferocity and intensity that has abated over the years only because it would be impossible to sustain that level of seething, soul-consuming permanently. I hate to be a hater, but “Talk like Jar Jar Day” has become so commercialized it’s lost all meaning. Jar Jar Binks is a crowd-pleaser only in the sense that his violent onscreen death would instantly become one of the most popular, crowd-pleasing moments in any Star Wars movie, or, really, any movie ever for that matter. Jar Jar Binks toys served a dual purpose in giving children something to play with and adults something to ritualistically set ablazeDaddy Binks Gifts Merchandise - Redbubble
No Star Wars character has been the recipient of as much hatred from their fanbase as Jar Jar Binks. Originally intended as a comic relief character for Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace, audiences took an immediate dislike to Jar Jar. Many critics claimed the Gungan was a racial caricature, quickly fostering an attitude of indifference at best, and at worst, giving fans license to ridicule Jar Jar through offensive jokes, memes, and Internet videos. One fan even suggested Jar Jar was secretly a Sith Lord, encouraging more online bullying of the character. Before long the overwhelming hatred spilled into Star Wars media itself, with comic books and even novels reflecting fan loathing, showing Jar Jar being abused by his father, and ending up homeless on Naboo. And while they were jokes at the time, recent confessions from Jar Jar actor Ahmed Best, who contemplated suicide due to backlash toward his character have shown them in a much harsher light. As horrible as this is, comparing Jar Jar’s fate in Star Wars media to newer canon offers a far more positive conclusion. One that shows how nobly Jar Jar Binks responded to his mistreatment. Let’s take a look at how online bullying of Jar Jar Binks led to some real-life consequences, and how the new canon has given Jar Jar's heroic response to abuse. Star Wars Made Jar Jar Binks & Suicide a Joke It's hard to believe the levels that fan hatred of Jar Jar Binks actually rose to at their peak, and how broadly they came to influence Star Wars media. The general response was prompting mean-spirited stories of the Gungan, with none in worse taste then the Dark Horse comic book Star Wars Tales #20, in a tale entitled “George R. Binks.” The short story introduces readers to Jar Jar’s father, George -- an almost unmistakable reference to Jar Jar’s real world “father” George Lucas. In the story, George R. Binks is shown to be a Naboo whaling captain, who winds up marooned on a deserted island with his wife and son. How? Because Jar Jar accidentally capsized their boat, obviously! After one case of Jar Jar's actions and intentions leading to calamity after another, and his father's growing annoyance, George eventually encourages Jar Jar to swim for help, hoping he’ll get eaten by a sea monster.

Ever wonder who’s bringing all the sports drama with a dash of sass? Well, look no further than Julie Stewart-Binks. This Canadian sports broadcasting queen isn’t just a voice for the game, she’s the whole production. From covering Stanley Cups to Super Bowls, Julie’s made a name for herself across some of the biggest sports stages, including Fox Sports, ESPN, and Barstool Sports. And while she’s often talking touchdowns, hoops, and pucks, the woman behind the mic is much more than just stats and soundbites. So, grab your popcorn (or beer, we’re not judging) as we break down the family, net worth, and everything in between for Julie Stewart-Binks.She’s the girl who can nail an NFL breakdown in one breath and throw out a witty pop culture reference in the next. But before she was lighting up our screens with her cool commentary, Julie was just a kid with dreams — and an awesome support system. From a family of journalists to a marriage to an action hero (yes, you read that right), Julie’s story is as compelling as any game-winning touchdown. Let’s kick off with some deets on the family behind this star.ADVERTISEMENTArticle continues below this adWho Are Julie Stewart-Binks’ parents?Born on April 30, 1987, in Toronto, Julie comes from a pedigree of story-makers. Her mom, Georgie Binks, is a respected journalist, while her dad, Will Stewart, is Canadian. You could say Julie’s got storytelling in her blood — kinda like how every NFL fan has “Go Team” ingrained in their soul. Along with her younger brother, Ian Stewart-Binks, the family shared a passion for hard work, which undoubtedly set Julie up for her epic career in broadcasting. It’s like how a quarterback needs their O-line — support is everything, and Julie’s family has been her MVP since day one. Julie once tweeted, “Honored to be included in Octagon year end review. Working as a host for CBC coverage of the Olympics was arguably the highlight of my career. ❤️”She is also a huge contributor to a pancreatic cancer research program that was inspired by her Aunt Sue who happens to be a survivor of the same.Julie Stewart-Binks worked as a host for FS1’s coverage of the 2014 Sochi Olympics and as a field reporter for baseball and softball for the Olympic Broadcast Service at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020. Fun fact: her grandfather, Dr. John Stewart, was the rowing doctor for Team Canada at the 1976 and 1984 Olympic Games, and her mother, Georgie Binks, is a former CBC News reporter.

The 1999 "Star Wars" prequel movie "Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace" introduces fans to several new characters in creator George Lucas' sprawling space opera, including Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson), the Jedi Master of young Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor); Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman), the future mother of Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher); and a bumbling member from the Gungan alien race named Jar Jar Binks (Ahmed Best).Unfortunately, Best was never the same after playing Jar Jar Binks, with the character subject to vicious backlash from fans online exacerbated by reports of the abuse by the press. The hatred aimed at the actor himself was so intense that his phone number was leaked and he received death threats on his answering machine. "It was terrible," Best told the Guardian in a July 2023 interview. "It was the lowest I've been in my life." Fortunately, he survived and thrived, as evidenced by his comeback in the "Star Wars" universe. Best returned to Star Wars as a Jedi Knight on The Mandalorian Lucasfilm/Disney+ Having endured the hate for playing Jar Jar Binks in the "Star Wars" prequel trilogy, Ahmed Best was given a rare chance to play another character from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away in 2023 with a guest role in Season 3, Episode 4 of the hit Disney+ series "The Mandalorian." Although he was hesitant to join the series considering how Jar Jar Binks was blasted by fans nearly 25 years before, thankfully, his appearance as Jedi Knight Kelleran Beq, who in a flashback scene saves Grogu during the events of Order 66, was widely embraced.The Jar Jar Binks actor responded to the love he received from "The Mandalorian" fans by posting a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying, "'Star Wars' fans on social media, thank you so much for everybody who ever rocked with me! I am more of a fan than I am a person in these movies, and I have always been and always will be."Apart from his turns in "The Phantom Menace" and on "The Mandalorian," Best's credits include voice work for several video games, including "The Last of Us: Part II" and "Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2," as well as various "Star Wars" projects. Best has even lampooned his work by voicing Jar Jar Binks for the stop-motion animated comedy series "Robot Chicken." On-screen,.

Star Wars Finally Makes Darth Jar Jar Binks A Reality Lucasfilm "Mesa going to hurt yousa." Never before has something so silly sounded so intimidating.Of course, only Jar Jar Binks (Ahmed Best) would say something like that. While the Star Wars franchise has tried to downplay the character and other poorly-received elements of the prequel trilogy in recent years, this character has returned in a whole new form. It comes with the release of the "LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy" trailer, which depicts how the galaxy far, far away gets its building blocks all mixed up. But when the bricks all come back together, things aren't how they were before, with AT-ATs now sporting the emblem of the Rebellion and Ewoks becoming bounty hunters.It's basically one big Star Wars-themed "What If..." story designed to explore new ideas. The biggest reveal is Darth Jar Jar, who will once again be voiced by Ahmed Best (whose future in the Star Wars franchise looks better than ever before, these days). It looks like a fun LEGO Star Wars adventure with plenty of Easter eggs for fans to enjoy. Plus, it pays tribute to a long-running Star Wars fan theory. The Darth Jar Jar Binks fan theory comes full circle "Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace" is one of the worst-received Star Wars movies of all time. Jar Jar Binks and his ridiculous escapades surely play a big role in that reputation, but some people hoped to redeem the character with a viral fan theory about how Jar Jar was a Sith Lord all along. The theory essentially posits that George Lucas intended Jar Jar Binks to be a significant threat later on in the franchise, even though he's a bumbling idiot at first. His behavior and demeanor were, according to the fan thesis, all a ruse to gain access to the Rebellion's inner circles, with Jar Jar eventually helping Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) rise to power.The only reason this didn't happen explicitly was due to the backlash fans had toward Jar Jar Binks ... or so the theory goes. The upcoming LEGO Star Wars special clearly takes place in a reality where everything goes topsy-turvy, and in this new, re-bricked reality, Jar Jar Binks is evil. It's certainly not canon, but it is fun to see a fan theory come to life in an official project.The response to the trailer and Darth Jar Jar has been overwhelmingly positive on social media, with people getting hyped over the new Sith Lord. On X (formerly known as Twitter), @Chinonso_nornor seemed to speak for many fans when they wrote, "NGL, Darth Jar Jar looks amazing!" Even if the evil Gungan only exists in this one special, it will allow fans to finally experience just how despicable the character can be when "LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy" debuts on Disney+ on September 13, 2024.Olivia Binks Daddy Boo - YouTube
Jar Jar Binks may be one of the most infamous characters in the entire Star Wars franchise, and his fate in the galaxy far, far away has always been a big question for fans. While Jar Jar Binks was first seen as a clueless comedic character who was less than funny, he eventually grew to have a more meaningful relationship with characters and fans. Yet, despite having a significant impact on the events of the Prequel trilogy, Jar Jar Binks became a person who was shunned by the galaxy. He became an unwilling participant in the rise of Palpatine and the Empire. Jar Jar also played a key role in multiple Star Wars films, namely Attack of the Clones. He introduced a motion into the Senate that gave Chancellor Sheev Palpatine emergency powers over the Republic just before the Clone Wars. This was the beginning of the end for Jar Jar, and he was rarely seen again in any of the Star Wars movies. He made a brief appearance in Revenge of the Sith, but his fate is somewhat of a mystery after that. Yet, Jar Jar's fate was revealed eventually, and Jar Jar became a symbol for how the entire fanbase felt about the character. Updated by Jordan Iacobucci on March 8, 2025: The Star Wars franchise continues to expand with new projects like Skeleton Crew and multiple new movies, including James Mangold's Dawn of the Jedi, Rey's New Jedi Order film, and The Mandalorian & Grogu. With all these new projects on the horizon, dive back into the tragic fates of one of the franchise's most comedic characters. This article has been updated to include more commentary on Jar Jar Binks and to adhere to CBR's updated formatting guidelines.

George decides to just put himself out of his misery. When contemplating suicide with a blaster to his head, Jar Jar's mother urges George to reconsider what he has to live for. When instructed to "think of your son," he frowns, and pulls the trigger. The attempt is unsuccessful, but plays to the most vicious and mean-spirited of Star Wars fans. Especially in the final cruel twist, Jar Jar’s kind hearted mother reveals George had hoped to marry a different woman, and have a different child, before ending up stuck with them both. And if that single comic doesn't explain how bad things had gotten, then the main reason why a Jar Jar Binks suicide joke has aged terribly sure will. Fan Harassment Nearly Drove Ahmed Best to Suicide While many fans, writers, and artists felt justified in ridiculing Jar Jar Binks -- a character only ever created to make audiences laugh -- most didn't consider the effect it had on the people involved in their creation. Most importantly Ahmed Best, Jar Jar Binks' actor who opened up about his suicidal thoughts after being accused of promoting racial stereotypes through Jar Jar. What began as a job helping to lay the foundation of future performance capture and CG technology, eventually led to even Best wanting to leave Jar Jar Binks behind. Best, an African American actor of West Indian descent, was particularly hurt by those who accused him of promoting racial caricatures, stating, “I was called every racial stereotype you can imagine… It was debilitating. I didn’t know how to respond.” Feeling alone and depressed, Best, at 26 years old, walked onto the Brooklyn Bridge one night and considered jumping off. When a gust of wind knocked Best off balance, however, the actor caught himself and realized he still wanted to live and make it through the next day. Twenty years later, Best shared his near-suicide attempt on Twitter and, thankfully, received an outpouring of support. Star Wars Canon Has Finally Changed The in-continuity novel Star Wars Aftermath: Empire’s End reveals Jar Jar’s final fate post-Return of the Jedi. Here, readers discover Jar Jar is now a homeless jester on Naboo who performs for many refugee children hoping to be adopted. While the children adore the Gungan, the adults refuse to speak to Jar Jar, whom they blame for helping Supreme Chancellor Palpatine become Emperor (Jar Jar later reveals hisComments
