It's been 20 years since Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, the first prequel of the Star Wars saga, was released. At the time, it was the hottest movie ticket of the year, with fans lining up for hours just to see it. But it also introduced arguably the most controversial character in the franchise: Jar Jar Binks.

Jar Jar Binks received tons of backlash when the movie came out for his slapstick humour, which eventually devolved into fan harassment and death threats against the actor who portrayed him, Ahmed Best.

It was Best's very first role in a major Hollywood blockbuster and it changed his life, for better, but also for worse. Recently, he's opened up online about the toll it took on his career and even his life.

Despite all of this, he's still very fond of the character, and is even developing a one-man show about all of it. Best joined q's Tom Power live from Los Angeles to talk about the legacy of Jar Jar Binks and what's next.
