Gleep Glossary: A Star Wars Story #20 - Jar Jar Binks
Added 2020-08-13 00:14:49 +0000 UTCOn this month's very special edition of the Gleep Glossary, the gang is chatting about one of the all-time greats, everyone's favorite Gungan—Jar Jar Binks! How many jobs has Jar Jar washed out of? How much of Phantom Menace's problem is Jar Jar's fault? And was Jar Jar really based on Goofy? PLUS: Wow, George Lucas really started sleeping on some of these character bios!

Gleep Glossary: A Star Wars Story is a show where the guys try to honor the history and legacy of SW characters, most of whom we've been told don't matter anymore!

Wait...so Rep. Binks was a Dooku asset?

2020-12-29 19:35:16 +0000 UTCI'm shocked to my bones to hear anyone else acknowledge Geggy Tah. Fun trivia: Geggy Tah was released on David Byrne's music label, Luaka Bop.

2020-10-03 06:44:42 +0000 UTCMan that clip makes it so obvious these movies were terrible from shop to sodom. (my new expression, which is a bad expression) I love the obvious intellectual disdain for everything democratic so apparent in McDiarmid's performance. You can insert imaginary "ughs" and even a "yada yada". What I also noticed is that Best is doing his damnedest to sound sincere, which is ... creepy? Definitely he's been Mind Punk'd.

2020-08-20 21:55:53 +0000 UTCI was glad to hear Cabin call out Jar Jar's "dellow felegates" line in the clip you played! I did a double take and had to rewind the commentary to check if I heard it right.

2020-08-18 21:04:23 +0000 UTCI actually LOVE the “Jar Jar Binks is a Sith Lord/Darth Plaugeis” theory. Mind you, I also think it’s complete bullshit. Lol.
