Jar Jar Binks actor almost ended his life after Star Wars backlash
Back in 1999 Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace hit cinemas, the first of film in the franchise to be released since 1983’s Return of the Jedi.
While the film made over $1 billion, a huge feat for 20 years ago, it’s now much derided as one of the worst Star Wars movies to date.
And no character from that film has been more criticised than Jar Jar Binks, the slapstick Gungan companion of Anakin Skywalker.
Best, who played Jar Jar Binks, has previously spoken out on how the bad reaction affected him, but has now revealed it almost led to him taking his own life.
