Jar Jar Binks
Details about the brilliant Star Wars character called Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars Episode 1 i One The Phantom Menace, who to this day receives more fan mail at Lucasfilm than all other Star Wars characters combined together

George Lucas speaks about Jar Jar Binks from The Phantom Menace:

"When I was working on the old films, I wanted the Wookiees like Chewbacca to appear in Return of the Jedi. It didn't work out so the Wookiees became the Ewoks.

I had no idea the Ewoks would be by far the most popular characters from the old films. The volume of fan mail at Lucasfilm dedicated to the Ewoks was much, much more then what we were prepared to handle.

Likewise, when I conceived of the idea of Jar Jar Binks, I never once suspected I was creating the most popular Star Wars character of all time.

The fan mail we got related to Jar Jar was so immense we added additional staff to take care of the special fans, who love Jar Jar.

The greatest moments of my life were the births of my three children. However, the greatest creative moment of my life turned out to be the creation of Jar Jar.

I wanted a character for The Phantom Menace, who would be extremely hilarious. It worked much better than I thought possible. The primary target audience for Star Wars is children.

Even now, Jar Jar receives more fan mail than all the other Star Wars characters added together even when you include the Ewoks, who still remain very popular with fans.

If I find the time in the future, I can envision giving Jar Jar his own television series or full length movie. Yet it may unfortunately never happen because I've got so many other ideas I want to explore first." (Source: George Lucas, the unparalleled film maker behind the magic of Star Wars.)
