Jar Jar Binks is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise. An Otolla Gungan from the planet Naboo, he began as an outcast from Gungan society but regained standing by helping secure an alliance between the Gungans and the Naboo during the Trade Federation's invasion of their shared homeworld.
Promoted to the rank of Bombad General, Binks led Gungan forces during the Battle of Naboo. In the years that followed he became a Junior Representative for Naboo in the Galactic Senate, serving alongside Senator Padmé Amidala, and later undertook a number of diplomatic missions during the Clone Wars.
Binks is also remembered for proposing that the Senate grant Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine the emergency powers used to create the Grand Army of the Republic, a decision that helped enable the Republic's transformation into the Galactic Empire.
