9 Years Ago, Star Wars Revealed Its Most Hated Character’s Fate (and It’s Heartbreaking)

For a long time, fans wondered what happened to Jar Jar Binks. Lucasfilm finally provided an answer within the official Star Wars story. The novel Aftermath: Empire’s End, released on February 21, 2017, reveals that Jar Jar lives a quiet, somewhat lonely life performing as a clown for children on Naboo. He was largely rejected by society after the Empire rose to power, as many blamed him for giving Palpatine emergency powers during the Clone Wars – a decision that ultimately led to the Empire’s creation. In the book, Jar Jar shares his story with a young boy named Mapo, who wants to learn from him, and Jar Jar welcomes the companionship.
