jar jar binks
We were beginning to wonder what exactly started one of the strangest Star Wars Related massive trending topics on Twitter.com Jar Jar Binks, yes folks JAR JAR BINKS was one of the top trending topics to end Sunday night and start the discussions on Monday Morning. So we pondered what could possibly have started this. First thoughts, did he pass away? OK checked around, and no to our relief he is still alive and well. Whether you liked Jar Jar or not there is a human being behind that character and he is a very nice human being by the name of Ahmed Best who's twin brother Rapper Khalid Best who apparently (according to another article) went to prom with Lauryn Hill.
Many people did not like the character of Jar Jar Binks if only because he stole away too many scenes with too many antics, forgetting that when they were younger it was R2D2, Chewbacca and later the Ewoks that were a chunk of comical characters for the kids to enjoy. Jar Jar just had too many antics for the taste of a now grown up movie base that forgets the movies are also for the next generations as well. And kids loved Jar jar (the young ones) The actor that portrays Jar Jar Binks is actually a very talented young man by the name of Ahmed Best who also starred in Stomp the musical. If you play close attention you can see him playing other roles in Episode 2 as one of the council members disembarking from a transport with Obi Wan Kenobi (Played in the prequels by Ewan McGregor) and later on also featured in the bar scene having a drink in the background.
Well it's quite possible that the twitter trending topic was started because of either the new app that allows you to translate regular sentences into Jar Jar Binks speak or because of the following story about the life sized dolls being used as sex toys. The story came out in 1999 but was more recently reposted again ten years after it first came out as a Ten Year Anniversary series of articles written by the church. In this case they were basically calling the Life Sized Jar Jar Binks dolls a TOOL of THE DEVIL and a sexual play toy for both male and female Younglings.
