10 Wholesome Behind-The-Scenes Star Wars Moments

As this list has already noted, way too many brilliant actors have seen their Star Wars dreams turn into nightmares due to the way critics and some parts of the audience reacted to their performances or presence in the galaxy far, far away.

Before those aforementioned stars all experienced unacceptable levels of abuse and criticism, though, Ahmed Best was the first person to really go through horrendous waves fan and critical backlash for his work in the franchise.

Best debuted in Episode I - The Phantom Menace, of course, helping bring the groundbreaking fully CGI supporting character of Jar Jar Binks to life. However, the negative reception to Binks and abuse sent Best's way ultimately led to the actor considering taking his own life.

But then something rather wholesome finally happened.

24 years after Best's first Star Wars appearance, the actor surprisingly returned to the franchise in The Mandalorian TV show, being revealed as the Jedi Master - Kelleran Beq - who saved Grogu during Order 66. And the reaction to his lightsaber-wielding Star Wars comeback online was positive to say the least, with fans going out of their way to let Best know just how loved he was and happy they were to see him back in this galaxy.

It took way too long, but it finally feels like Best is getting the flowers he's always deserved for being such an important part of both the Star Wars universe and the game-changing motion-capture technology being constantly used today. 

You love to see it.
