History Characters / StarWarsGalacticRepublicSenate

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: He can be seen as the Prequel Trilogy's early answer to Chewbacca, being a distinctly alien sidekick character amongst a cast of humans and droids. Notably, both Chewie and Jar Jar owe life debts to one of the other protagonists in response to their own lives being saved (Han for Chewie, Qui-Gon for Jar Jar). However, the similarities end there; Chewie is a tough, stoic, dependable, GentleGiant who only communicates with growls and only occasionally serves as comic relief, whereas Jar Jar is an outright PluckyComicRelief shoe-in who never shuts up and proves to be an utter liability throughout the whole adventure.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Downplayed as there is no one who truly detests him. But almost every character he has been put on a team with has expressed their dismay about his quirks. The sole exceptions are a few other Gungans, the Bardottans who trust and respect him, Queen Julia who's been completely wooed by his -- as Master Yoda put it -- "innocence of a child", and later the children who he entertains once he becomes a street performer. Other characters like Padmé, Obi-Wan and Anakin may usually show uncertainty and skepticism about his competence, but also treat him kindly and also usually they are impressed by his bravery and helpfulness which earns him more respect from them.

* UncleTomfoolery: Jar Jar Binks is accused of resembling black caricatures in minstrel shows and early American cinema, highlighting his Jamaican-like accent, clumsiness, naivety and shuffling gait, and being cowardly all typical traits of minstrel characters. It does not help physically, he has large nostrils and his "lips" make up half of his face, both traits commonly exaggerated in black caricatures also his large floppy ears have been compared to dreadlocks. Jar-Jar's first lines in the series, "Mee-sa your humble servant," call slavery and domestic servitude to mind.

* CorruptPolitician: Utilized his connections and wealth to exert influence over the Republic's bureaucracy and had a large number of other politicians, judges, and lobbyists on his payroll. He notably used his influence to halt Tan Divo's efforts to root out crime and corruption on Coruscant, which Moe was profiting off of.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: She's a greedy war profiteer but she recognizes the evil of the Empire and is disgusted by it as well as Rampart's actions. She's rallied by Chichi and Omega into helping try to take Rampart down.

!!Senator Danry Ledwellow
!!!'''Homeworld:''' Er'Kit

->'''Appearances:''' ''VideoGame/{{Commander}}''

Danry Ledwellow was the representative of Er'Kit in the Galactic Senate. Shortly before the Clone Wars, he took bribes from Thalassian slavers to allow them to operate without disruption on his homeworld in exchange for a private army of Separatist hailfire droids. Eventually, his collaboration with the slavers was discovered by Republic officials and he was arrested on a charge of corruption, also losing his position as senator. His private army fell into the hands of Blood Dawn slavers on Er'Kit, which would be demolished by Saponza's Gang during the Galactic Civil War.
