STAR WARS: THE PHANTOM MENACE Actor Ahmed Best Defends His Place In Motion Capture History
The actor who played the much-derided Jar Jar Binks in Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace responded to a fan who claims his role in the history of performance capture is being unfairly diminished.
We all know how fans responded to Jar Jar Binks in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. While the cringeworthy comic relief character has become a bit of a scapegoat for the Star Wars prequels in general, the performance capture used to create Jar Jar should be acknowledged as groundbreaking.
However, some fans don't think the actor who brought the character to life, Ahmed Best, is getting the credit he deserves. After a video of Andy Serkis talking about the development of performance capture was shared with Best on Twitter yesterday, the actor went on to explain how the crew who did the code and animation for Jar Jar deserve lots of credit as well.

This month, we asked you to chime in and cast your votes for the Star Wars movie you consider to be the best one. Well, the results are now in, and you might be surprised by what comes first...and last!
It's become all too commonplace for us to talk about the Star Wars movies that have failed to become a reality under Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy's watch, but we can now add another to the list.
We haven't taken a trip to the Galaxy Far, Far Away on the big screen since The Rise of Skywalker, but Lucasfilm is expected to officially announced at least three new Star Wars movies at Celebration.
We just recently learned that Damon Lindelof and Justin Britt-Gibson had parted ways with Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's untitled Star Wars movie, and Lucasfilm has already found a replacement...
Yet another filmmaker has parted ways with Lucasfilm, and while we don't know whether creative differences were involved, Damon Lindelof is no longer developing a Star Wars movie for the troubled studio.
