Jar Jar Binks actor reflects on racist online trolls, star wars fan lunatics, and sellout accusations that almost lead him to commit

[Heafcliffe]

When we say "black progression" in the industry, that doesn't mean "c00n progression."

Tough for me to show empathy on this one.

George Lucas was making this whole thing up as he went along. Because he gave a generation of geeks something cooler than D&D he gets a pass on producing about a 2 and a half films worth of good content across 6 films.

Star Wars is the sci fi equivalent of Kiss. There is nothing beneath the surface but it captured a group of teens at just the right time

The same way a nikka running behind a white bytch screaming

Don’t care how outspoken John been afterwards
Somewhere in his mind that shyt should have clicked during filming
He don’t get no grace either

He was supposed to be a Jedi and they switched it up on him. I don’t fault dude for taking that role.

Man foh
This nikka had three films to come to his senses
No matter what the fukk they promised him
That first film script should have been enough for him to pause and say
The fukk y’all on
Nah that nikka got that bread
Saw how them Star War fans were trying to play him and the lil paag bytch
Saw how they tried to play him and Isaac as a gay couple
Saw how his “best friend” Daisy was hitting him with
During one interview
Then the unfortunate passing of Mr. Floyd and Covid happened
And the nikka became a coli militant
That nikka deserves no grace for that shyt
The only real one holding it down was Billy Dee
shyt Donald Glover should be ashamed of that fukk shyt ass portrayal of young Lando too

 

[The D-List Vet]

nah, fukk him. how do you read those lines, as a black man, and not think "man, this doesn't sound right".

"me sa no want go boom boom"??

Best fukking post in here has me dying, looking crazy in public.

That's the problem for Black actors in Hollywood. They lose no matter what they do.

Because if they take the offensive token Black roles like Jar Jar or Finn, they get mocked and they'll probably never be taken seriously or given better roles because cacs will always do them dirty.

And if they don't take the roles then they're out a paycheck that they need along with potential career advancement.

I freaking loved darth marr.



Doing missions for him made me move over to the darkside completely. Tremel was cool too. Definitely died too early, compared to that bytchy cac Harkun.

Just saw that the Jar Jar character is mentioned in an exhibit at The Jim Crow Museum. They say that he was modern extension of Step N Fetchit

 

[Red Money]

99 I was in middle school. There was definitely convo in the media about him being a spook old school movie black man that was selling out.

My fam said that character seemed out of place as well.... and I found him too annoying and I skipped rewatching it on any medium. I might revisit the movie one day.

 

[Buddy]

I think I've only seen a handful of the Star Wars movies like once or twice but I remember this character. What's the difference between him and Yoda? They both talk weird. Was he really on some intergalactic Stepin Fetchit shyt?
