In my malaise, I got to thinking: Is it possible to rehabilitate Jar Jar Binks? I mean, I haven't seen Solo, but would it be possible to transform a gross racial caricature with the most annoying traits in the history of cinema into a loveable rogue or something?

Could there be a prequel that told the story of how heavy drug use in his youth made Jar Jar the way he was?

Or are we limited to a sequel story? Something like, "The Trial and Execution of An Accident Prone Alien"?

What's the consensus? How would you tell his story? Or is there no hope at all?

How would you tell his story?

It would probably involve a nasty accident, then move on to the interesting life of the rocket engine that had just incinerated him for 3hrs

Having him actually be somebody else in disguise the whole time is the only thing I can think of. Basically make him a Scooby Doo villain

Just remake forest gump with Jar Jar in the title role. He's even got the accidental war hero story already.

Ironic performance artist?

Elite warrior trying to hide his skills?

Culture ambassador/Special Circumstances agent?

Schrickvr6 has it. He was going to be the Sith overlord or something or other.

Someone did a mini thesis on  a world of nerd website. Very interesting to me,a nerd.

Maybe a New Hope?

That would actually be great and make up for the shitty prequels and middling new movies. Just have Jar Jar appear in the next one and kill Kevin the teenager, scourge of doors and control panels or whatever he's called.

Chewbacca can rip him in half and eat him, in the film of Chewbacca which is all in Shryiiwook (?) with subtitles, with a Wookie sex scene.

They could bring him back as an alcy,  on a park bench with Luke and Leia, necking cider and fags. Would explain both of their faces and acting performances in the last film, he'd fit right in.

Wasn't she actually dead during much of the filming? I'm not saying it's an excuse mind but I can imagine it makes acting that bit more difficult.
