10 Worst Sci-Fi Movie Characters Of All Time

10. Jar Jar Binks

There was no way Jar Jar Binks wasn't going to make his way onto this list, but he's getting dealt with early, seeing as he's little more than low-hanging fruit. This silly Gungan was annoying, a clumsy oaf, and an obvious attempt at comic relief, but that doesn't mean he wasn't useful.

After helping the Jedi make their way to the capital city of Naboo, he manages to then help the Queen negotiate an alliance between her people and the Gungans. When he's given the rank of General to fight the droid army, he manages to mess everything up, which somehow helps take out a ton of droids and tanks.

Fast-forward a decade, and he's the acting Senator of Naboo, representing the planet's affairs in the Galactic Senate while Senator Amidala was absent. He was manipulated by Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine to propose the Chancellor be granted emergency executive powers to raise a Grand Army of the Republic.

Binks' proposal was the key moment in Palpatine's plan that elevated him from being a representative to becoming the Emperor. Later, Binks was once more ostracised by his people due to his role in bringing about the end of the Republic, and he spent his later days working as a street performer in the capital city of Naboo.
