Popular Reviews of The Redemption of Jar Jar Binks

I may have hated Jar Jar but I never blamed Ahmed Best. Actors are not the characters they play. It is crushing to know how much the fan backlash harmed Ahmed, how material the effects were of such a petty and vaporous grievance. I loathed every moment of Jar Jar and I'm sorry for getting so swept up in that hateful pile-on. Ahmed is a great guy and never deserved what happened to him. Dylan is an incredible host and so full of compassion. This series feels right at home with his other work on Conversations with People Who Hate Me, where he reaches out and builds human connections between two sides of digital divides. He's a perfect diplomat for the internet age and the work he does here is truly special.
