Legend

according to a humorous story that appeared on the HoloNet during the years following the Battle of Naboo, George R. Binks was the embattled father of Jar Jar Binks. A noted sailor and whale hunter who was a brave as any Gungan who ever lived, George seemed to have been cursed with an inept son. No matter how hard he tried, George couldn't get Jar Jar to change his ways. On one trip, Jar Jar allowed a sea creature to swamp their ship, and the pair was stranded on a desert island, along with the only other survivor, George's wife. He dreamed of ways to getting rid of Jar Jar and his immature outlook, but Mrs. Binks thwarted his every attempt. As the story unfolded, it was revealed that George had turned down the love of Sheebla to marry Mrs. Binks, since Sheebla was unable to bear him a son. Thus, it was ironic that George's only son turned out to be Jar Jar.
