Liam Neeson defends Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and Jar Jar Binks actor Ahmed Best
"I'm very proud of the film"

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Phantom Menace got a pretty ꧟bad wrap, as did all the prequels. Perhaps none felt the brunt of that more than Jar Jar Binks actor Ahmed Best, who received his fair share of criticism during his time playing the goofy Gungan.
Liam Neeson, who played Qui-Gon Jinn in Episode 1, has recently backed both Phantom Menace and Best, even going as far as saying he was “proud” o🥂f the first entry in the Star Wars prequel trilogy.
“It really hurt his career," Neeson said of Best. "And I have to say when I was making that film… he was probably one of the funniest guys and talented guys I had ever worked with. I remember calling my old ex-agent… and said, 'I think I just worked with the new Eddie Murphy.' I still believe that. Truly, he ha🍎d all of his in ♏stitches – including George Lucas. But I liked the movie,” he reaffirmed.
At least these stories have happy endings. Ahmed Best returned to a galaxy far, far away earlier this year with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Disney Plus gameshow 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge and, remarkably, some public opini🍌on on the prequels have swayed and mellowed over time. A surprise to be sure, bꦐut a welcome one.
