Jar Jar Binks was based on racist tropes. I don’t think it was done intentionally, yet it’s there. It’s a shame because I don’t think George is consciously a racist, yet I think unconscious racism does happen. Everyone around him at the time must have been yes men, afraid to tell him that Jar Jar Binks was a bad look.

P.S. It’s ok that you like the character. It’s also ok that you only like the first movie.

"Jar Jar Binks was based on racist tropes"

Wow. I legit never heard that before. I don't live in the Star Wars universe, I knew lots of fans didn't like Jar Jar but, I thought they just didn't like him. After I read this I hit Google. I am beyond embarrassed now. Thank you.
