Remember that dipshit Jar Jar Binks, the problematic and annoying character from George Lucas' unfortunate Star Wars prequels? He was the one who the kids were supposed to like—but didn't. He was the one who was supposed to be funny—but wasn't. He was the one who was granted an interim place in the Galactic Senate and was manipulated into proposing they give power to Chancellor Palpatine to build an army, directly leading to the creation of the Galactic Empire. Yeah, that jackass rightfully disappeared after a brief appearance in Revenge of the Sith. You probably don't care what happened to him, but I'm going to tell you anyway because he got exactly what he deserved. And don't worry, because this doesn't mean he's going to be in Star Wars VIII.

The Star Wars universe doesn't begin and end with those eight (soon to be nine) movies. Haha not at all! There are cartoons, comic books, video games, graphic novels, Christmas specials, board games, card games, novels, encyclopedias, and oh god so much more filling in the gaps that the 16-something hours of Star Wars films couldn't get to. For anyone concerned with the fate of Admiral Ackbar ("It's a trap!") or Wedge Antilles ("Copy, Gold Leader!"), these supplementary materials are the perfect way to spend your brief time on this planet.

Most of us, though, don't have time for that and must rely on synopses published on the internet. Next week marks the release of Star Wars Aftermath: Empire's End, a new book in the official franchise canon that takes place between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens. And Mashable has kindly saved us the trouble and summarized Jar Jar's pathetic and deserving fate:

Star Wars fans will learn that Jar Jar was haunted by and shunned for his political screw-up. In exile he has become a literal clown, performing for kids.

Yes. Please, go on.

At one point a character "encounters a Gungan performing for kids on the streets, clowning around in a fountain twice a day while being studiously avoided by the grown-ups." Then this interaction occurs:

"Jar Jar makin some uh-oh mistakens," the Gungan says, explaining why he isn't wanted anywhere either. "Desa hisen Naboo tink I help the uh-oh Empire." He stares into the distance, suggesting he knows more than he's saying.

Certainly I wouldn't wish this fate on anyone, but since this is a fictional alien that ruined my childhood, it gives me some real sick joy. But, sad news for the actor who played Jar Jar: There will be no opportunity to redeem his career.
