Yes, you already know who I’m talking about.

Jar Jar Binks

And, as a character, Jar Jar is tasked with an impossible mission from the get-go.

He is required to be serious, yet also lighthearted.

Knowledgeable in the ways of the galaxy, yet easily bamboozled.

THIS IS NOT SARCASM!

Jar Jar deserved a chance to address the criticisms levied him and grow just like any other character.

Thankfully, there’s still time to rectify this galactic mistake.

Heck, it may even convert a few fans along the way too.
