Jar Jar Binks first appeared in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace (1999) as a Gungan from Naboo. Initially criticized for his slapstick humor, he became a foundational figure in internet culture through 'Prequel Memes.' The character is often used to represent accidental chaos, extreme clumsiness, or the popular 'Darth Jar Jar' fan theory, which suggests he was secretly a Sith Lord. Today, Jar Jar memes range from ironic appreciation to using his unique Gungan-speak dialect to make light of frustrating or awkward situations in everyday life.
