At one point, Jar Jar thanks the Jedi for saving his life, for which Qui-Gon berates him for almost getting them killed and asks if he€™s brainless. €œI spake€, Jar Jar says, to which Qui-Gon Jinn curtly replies with the above words. If only they€™d dumped Jar Jar back in the forest. Or the planet€™s core.
