The canon name of Jar Jar’s dad is George R Binks.
just terrible art on that penultimate panel lol - blaster fire goes over the curvature of his skull, George Binks you're a terrible fucking shot
he is shooting while crouch jumping, the hit box is higher than the character model you can see
:very-smart:
this checks out i shall try to include such inspired maneuvers on my elden ring jedi build
someone along the line probably thought it would be a bit much to draw old George R Binks' head exploding into fragments of flaming brains and skull
Can't believe George Lucas and Co would draw the line at 'Graphic but anatomically correct depiction of George R Bink's suicide' but not 'George R Binks driven to suicide by his son, Jar-Jar' :disgost:
It's intentional - there's more pages, he just skins the top of his head, failing to actually kill himself. Goes unconscious but eventually wakes up.
This is funny, but I can't see Jar Jar without thinking about how his mocap actor got harassed and sent death threats by star wars fans.
Okay what the fuck was up with doing Jar Jar as a minstrel show thing but then hiring a black dude as the mocap actor??
I hate Star Wars fans that are older than 15. "You ruined my childhood" no you did that. By prolonging it so far into adulthood you turn into a rabid shitbag over children's media. If your response to disappointment is anger I am sorry, you are a fucking dumbass. Just be disappointed and move on.
Poor kid ended up being institutionalized with paranoid schizophrenia.
Ban child acting now - fuckin only job where child labour is still legal
What is it with Star Wars fanatics threatening actors? Every freaking movie.
George doesn’t talk like a minstrel show stereotype, so it would be an improvement
Same energy as when Arnold from the magic school bus attempted suicide on Pluto because his cousin was such an obnoxious know it all
Also I always thought it was weird the show tried to teach science using magic lol
That episode traumatized the fuck out of me as a kid. I had that shit on VHS and I loved that episode but always hated that bitch.
So this is very much a "We named him George after George Lucas" thing isn't it?
Especially funny since we know that George's real pride and joy was Sebulba
Yeah I'm not feeling this shit, the punchline is a dude hating his special-needs son so much he offs himself.
He did, sorta. It cuts to him dreaming about the woman he wanted to marry, then he wakes up with a head wound.
Jar Jar tries to do that, is told he will be eaten by giant monsters, and then his dad tries to throw him into the ocean before his mom stops him
YOU IGNORANT FOOL! WE ARE HALFWAY AROUND THE GLOBE IN TREACHEROUS WATERS, IT WOULD TAKE YOU FIFTY YEARS TO SWIM FOR HELP AND YOU COULDN'T SWIM FOR HALF A DAY WITHOUT BEING EATEN BY A… !

"Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was the most disappointing thing since my son"
Wait, where does his accent come from??? His parents don't have it but the big fat leader guy does. I NEED A WOOKIEPEDIA ARTICLE TO EXPLAIN THIS INCONSISTENCY
Hi, pedantic joyless nerd here. I have a physical copy of Star Wars Tales Volume 5, which includes this comic. Technically, he doesn't actually manage to kill himself (just skin his head), and Star Wars Tales isn't at all canon. There's a parody of the breakfast club with the original trilogy main cast in the same book. Also a story where Han and Chewie crash on Earth. Han is killed by natives and the ship is later found by Indiana Jones on the hunt for bigfoot, who turns out to be Chewbacca.
