Fans of the prequel series have outshone in numbers cynical trilogy fans that bullied the actor.
No one deserves their much-delayed accolades as part of the Star Wars franchise more than Ahmed Best , who portrayed Jar Jar Binks in George Lucas ’ prequel trilogy. The actor was met with the first very public show of vitriol from Star Wars ’ toxic fandom, which is something we’re unfortunately much more used to seeing these days.
“It’s such a cultural phenomenon, and there are few Black voices in Star Wars, so I feel that I’m partially obliged to keep my voice out there.” He has since advocated for actors and talent that represent the franchise who have been bullied by the fandom, including “Kelly Marie for sure. She’s a phenomenal actor.” He added that the hate she got for her performance as Rose Tico in The Last Jedi was “completely unwarranted.
