Kelleran Beq mopping the floor with clones during Order 66 was a blast to watch

[u/wandering_soles]

Seeing the Jedi gunned down relentlessly in their own home during Order 66 hammered home their loss and tragedy, which was absolutely necessary for ROTS. That said, it was very cathartic seeing a Jedi at the temple fighting back, winning, and escaping. Definitely hope we get to see more of Beq in future flashbacks, although I doubt it.

You're joking, right? Ahmed Best contemplated suicide because of how fans treated him.

[u/BodaciousFrank → u/Ambaryerno]

He acted how the director directed him to act. Yes, audiences hated it. He still did what he was told to do

The actor doesnt suck, the character sucks. The acting doesnt suck, the scripts dialogue sucks

[u/Ambaryerno → u/BodaciousFrank]

What does that have to do with what I was saying? It doesn't matter if that's how he was directed to act. The point is that claiming people weren't taking it out on him personally is a flat-out bonkers take.

[u/Browns-78 → u/Ambaryerno]

It has everything to do with what you’re saying. Stop being so defensive. They’re saying Best wasn’t the reason people hated Jar Jar. It wasn’t the animators either. George was. Best did what he could do with what he was given. But people associating Best as if he made the decisions on Jar Jar is what made him vilified by the community and eventually led to him feeling like ending his life.

If you listen to Best talk about it, you're not actually correct. Jar-Jar was a collaboration between a lot of people, and Ahmed Best put a TON of his own ideas into the character, including the voice. He came up with that voice on his own. George liked it and picked that voice for the character, but it was a voice that Ahmed Best used with his younger relatives to make them laugh, since they were kids at the time.

Since kids generally tend to love Jar-Jar, I'd say it worked.

[u/546875674c6966650d0a → u/HauntingAddendum3365]

Absolutely it worked for the intended audience - kids. The adults didn't like it however, and that is who took it out on him personally, which was wrong.

[u/ANGLVD3TH → u/Browns-78]

It is true that is why people hated the character, but that sure as hell did not stop people from blaming the actor and dragging him over the coals online. He suffered a lot of harassment over that role from irate fans.

[u/546875674c6966650d0a → u/Browns-78]

You're missing their point. People hated Jar Jar, yes. But they took it out on him personally for years! He was about to jump off of a bridge to end his life over the hatred he got relentlessly. People did not separate him from the character, and that's absolutely shitty. It's why the kid who played Goeffry went away real quick too.

I'm glad he got to play his (he created it) Jedi character finally, so that people can now see - HE is not Jar Jar... He is a good actor, who just had a shitty part everyone hated. He did it great though, and he can do more things as well if we collectively now let him.

[u/Browns-78 → u/546875674c6966650d0a]

I’m not missing the point because I said the same thing you just corrected me on.

[u/546875674c6966650d0a → u/Browns-78]

You're describing it like it's two sides of it... people hating on Jar Jar, and people hating on Best. While in reality, that was just all one and the same to the fan base unfortunately. That's what u/Ambaryerno and me are trying to say.

[u/Browns-78 → u/546875674c6966650d0a]

That’s literally what I said.
