Jar Jar is dead canonically!

Did wikipedia give an official source for this? I'll believe it (I would like to) when I see it. Knowing Lucas, he would prevent Jar Jar from dying canonically. Plus, if Lucas only made that statement himself and it is in no official Star Wars publication, then Jar Jar lived, according to Lucasfilm's canon policy.

Plus, I don't remember Boba Fett laughing in the new Return of the Jedi.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

most of these are the rumored changes as well as the other rumored changes which also proved to be true. Originally Jar Jar was supposed to get the axe in revenge of the sith, and the gungans were supposed to be exterminated according to palpatines anti alien policy. even according to unsubtantiated sources naboo was supposed to be blown up by the prototype death star. Padme was supposed to be in the ghost scenes and quigon jinn. Imperial march was to be added to a new hope (not true) death star destroys alderaan and jimmy smitts bail organa chracter is in his senate chambers when he and the entire planet is atomized (untrue). And until lucasfilm says otherwise it is jar jar who says "wesa free" because none of the other gungans sounded like him. Also how could jar jar be on alderaan when he so stupid he give the secret away that vader is leia's father and padme her real mother. would lucas have such bad taste as to have jar jar on alderaan as leia's nannie or babysitter?

I don't think Lucas ever mentioned JarJar's death, and never will. He simply faded away that character, as he did with Naboo. And how could Naboo be exploded by the prototype death star, if no one knew about it until ANH? Hmn... That brings a whole new question: how much did they know about the Death Star anyway? Leia had the plans hidden into the R2 unity, but they she know about the destructive power of it? Perhaps Bail Organa knew all along, and sent her to get those plans?

Good bye Jar Jar and don't come back!
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

Red heads ROCK. Blondes do not rock. Nuff said.

Why would Jar Jar be on Alderaan? To simply get rid of an unwanted character? It makes more sense for him to stay in obsurity on Naboo with the other Gungans rather than on Alderaan, where he has no reason for being there. Maybe he was on vacation?

As there is gonna be probably be more changes for the "next version" of Star Wars cant we have a scene that confirms Jar Jar was on Alderaan when it blows....

That would a very popular change by George Lucas.....

In the time, even before EP 1 was released, my thoughts went to a line from EP4.

"The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force."

I speculated that Lucas would prove that.
How?
Palpatine and (now) Vader destroy Naboo with the Force, in the worst way possible. In addition to removing the planet, they remove the knowledge of the planet as well. They wipe the memory of Naboo from the minds of all people except them.
Vader doesn't know Padme is on Naboo when it happens though.

Now, that way, you could have put Jar Jar on the planet as well, and then he's better than dead...

Are you serious about it? Vader and Palpatine exploding Naboo with the force, and erasing any memories of it? Why?! Why would they do that?! Don't you agree that if such thing happened in the prequels, the fans would LITERALLY eat GL's heart??

1. It wouldn't necessarily be 'exploding'.
2. At first my thought was that Vader does it alone, to prove himself to Palpatine. (He was going through the movies talking about how strong he is after all.)
3. I imagine some fans would have been unhappy. Others might have thought that such an act is an ultimate form of how powerful the darkside can be.

Back on topic. Until we get an explanation in some star wars publishing or video event in the official conitnuity, Jar Jar is not dead canonically. Lucas' staements have no bearing on continuity, unless he actually has them put to some official media. Therefore, Jar Jar's future after ROTS is uncertain at his time Case closed.

Why? If there had been a legitimate reason for it, why not? Maybe I'm wrong, but I never thought of Naboo as being a planet with a large fanbase. It's only remembered for being the planet with the funniest name and the shiniest ships.

and its the home to the most annoying creatures in the galaxy (Gungans) and the most annoying of the most annoying (Jar-Jar). I doubt most anyone would care. As for Jar-Jar's fate. Do we really want a book or something written about the further adventures of Jar-Jar that has his final fate? Who in their right mind would want to read that? Let him just fade away, like a bad memory...

I think we would all actually prefer to see him die a horrible death. *Sigh* Oh, well, just wishful thinking!

They came from me...and I came up with them before Lucas added Naboo to the celebrations at the end of ROTJ.
