Ahmed Best, the man who played Jar Jar Binks in the 1999 film “Star Wars: Episode 1 — The Phantom Menace,” said the bashing he received from ardent fans of the franchise made him suicidal. “20 years next year I faced a media backlash that still affects my career today,” he wrote. “This was the place I almost ended my life. It’s still hard to talk about. I survived and now this little guy is my gift for survival. Would this be a good story for my solo show? Lemme know.”
