Ahmed Best, an actor who is part of Star Wars lore thanks to his performance as Jar Jar Binks in the prequels, has made his glorious return.
Ahmed Best made a surprise appearance in this week’s episode of “The Mandalorian” (“Chapter 20: The Foundling” for those keeping track at home). But if you were thinking that Best would make a return as Jar-Jar Binks, the character he immortalized in “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace,” think again.
To explain: while the main story in the episode involved a bunch of Mandalorian fighters trying to bring a child back from the clutches of a large, dragon-like creature, much of the secondary plot was devoted to a lengthy flashback of Grogu escaping the Jedi Temple on Coruscant after Order 66 has been delivered. That means plenty of Clone Troopers gunning down plenty of Jedi, young and old. And this is where Best emerged.
