Biography

Jar Jar Binks, a Gungan exile, guided Qui-Gon Jinn to Otoh Gunga and later represented the Gungans in the Galactic Senate. His motion to grant Chancellor Palpatine emergency powers enabled the clone army's use. Padmé was away when he yielded the vote that let Palpatine raise the clone army.
