Count C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels among the many, many people who were not huge fans of Jar Jar Binks, the bumbling Gungan character introduced by George Lucas in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.
Both Jar Jar and C-3P0 will continue to be controversial figures as long as the Star Wars films maintain their relevance in the overall pop culture conversation.
“Why don’t Star Wars OT fans hate C-3P0 as much as they hate Jar Jar?” goes the popular argument.
Interestingly, Daniels’ own overly-talkative, griping, uptight protocol droid is himself often maligned for being the Jar Jar Binks of the original Star Wars movie trilogy.
