A Profile Of Jar Jar Binks And The Gungans - The Phantom Podcast
This week Griffin and David delve into the character we all know and love: Jar Jar Binks. How does an outcast of the Gungan society go on to save his people? The answer might just be tasteless comedy and a dash of racism.\nWould Jar Jar Binks\u2019 character be less offensive if developed as a noble savage rather than a goof that exclusively speaks in broken english?
