Jar Jar Binks Makes Incognito Plea to Ron Howard For Han Solo Movie Role
Hollywood Reporter ^ | June 24, 2017 | Ryan Parker

"If you really want to turn this movie around, you have got to get Jar Jar in there, and not just a supporting role. Maybe it's a Jar Jar movie now." Meesa thinks it's a long shot.

In a recent Funny or Die clip, Jar Jar Binks makes a plea to Ron Howard to be added into the Han Solo spin-off after it was announced this week the Apollo 13 director was taking the reins.

Jar Jar is in disguise for the nearly two-minute faux clip in which he praises Howard's work and says he knows the mostly unpopular Phantom Menace character would be a great addition.

"The best choice would be to put Jar Jar in the movie," says Jar Jar with his voice changed. "Jar Jar Binks is a beloved character who is in great shape right now."

I’d watch a Jar Jar movie before anything to do with the Solo character Always hated the sneering,mumbling,formulaic cowboy cliché. AND his demon spawn is terrorizing the galaxy 30 years later. Enough of Solo-glad they finally killed him off(albeit years too late!).

Ol Lucas never got over the broad rejection of Jar Jar.

I liked Jar Jar much better in The Warriors.

Maybe they should add Howard the Duck to the movie.

Who cares? Owned by Disney as is ESPN. Boycott all of them!

Jar Jar never bothered me.

Her reminded me of characters from the paperback sci-fi novels that bookstores used to sell back in the days

I’m surprised that Ron Howard is willing to sully his reputation by associating himself with the Star Wars prequels debacle.

For a moment, I thought you said Jar-Jar was in “The Waltons.”

I know you’re talking about Kylo Ren. Myself, I’m looking forward to meeting Kylo Ren’s apprentice in Episode 8 or 9 — Kylo Stimpy.

Star Wars is literally the worst, least accurate depiction of any condition in outerspace.

That said, whenever anyone brings Star Wars out I am a bumbling IDIOT. I actually squeeled when I saw that Rogue One is coming to Netflix next month. I know every character and define “Superfan”

Star Wars makes me an idiot and I would camp out for weeks on end for tickets to events. I hate myself :)
