10 Terrible Star Wars Characters With ONE Incredible Scene

3. "There's Always A Bigger Fish" - Jar Jar Binks

Even arguably the most derided and rejected character in Star Wars history bumbled his way through one awesome moment during the Skywalker Saga.

Through no real fault of the hugely committed Ahmed Best, Jar Jar Binks' silly antics and the character being accused of perpetuating racial stereotypes resulted in the Gungan being classed as one of the least enjoyable parts of the hit-and-miss prequels.

However, there's still no denying that Jar Jar was actually very much present during one of Episode I's finest sequences.

When Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi are guided through the Naboo waters by the slapstick figure, the trio are soon met by a number of frightening underwater beasties. Not long after being yanked back by a CGI gooberfish, a monumental and impressively crafted digital monster - a Sando aqua monster, to be more precise - stopped by to have that creature for dinner, too.

It was that unpredictable series of events that eventually gave birth to Jinn's instantly iconic "there's always a bigger fish" statement as George Lucas fantastically established that these fictional oceans were just as deadly as the rest of this galaxy far, far away.

Jar Jar may not have done all that much in the pulsating sequence, admittedly, but he was still there understandably losing his mind in the passenger seat while Naboo's insane wildlife looked to eat the trio alive.
