    • An outcast, Jar Jar spent his time in the Naboo swampland, surviving on raw shellfish or just about anything else he could find in the bogs. Jar Jar's fate took a twist when the hapless Gungan encountered a pair of Jedi as they eluded enemy forces during the Trade Federation invasion of Naboo.
    • By Gungan tradition, Jar Jar found himself indebted to Qui-Gon Jinn for saving his life. Jar Jar guided the Jedi to the underwater city of Otoh Gunga, where they secured transport to the Naboo capital of Theed. Jar Jar braved the "nocombackie law" to present Qui-Gon to the Gungan leader, Boss Nass, even though he risked the consequence of being "pounded" to death.
    • Queen Amidala requested that Jar Jar make contact with the Gungans. With Jar Jar's help, the Naboo and the Gungans forged an alliance that liberated the besieged world of Naboo. During the ground battle against the mechanized armies of the Trade Federation, Jar Jar was made a general in the Gungan Grand Army. After the battle, Jar Jar continued to ascend in Gungan society, putting his awkward past as an outcast behind him.
    • Jar Jar eventually became a Senior Representative for Naboo, serving in the Galactic Senate. While his compassion spoke volumes of the quality of his character, his inherent gullibility and trusting nature were easily exploited by the less scrupulous in the field of politics. For many, Jar Jar was but a joke, but he stood as a rare example of a non-corrupt politician interested only in the greater good of the Republic and his people.
    • After several botched assassination attempts on Senator Amidala forced her to flee the capital, Jar Jar served in her absence. The Gungan politician was there, in Palpatine's office, when it became apparent that desperate measures would be required to stop a Separatist force determined to start a war with the Republic.
    • Jar Jar took the initiative and proposed the motion granting emergency powers to Supreme Chancellor Palpatine -- a move that would have profound impact on the Galactic Republic.
    • During the Clone Wars, the Jedi Council dispatches Senator Bail Organa and Representative Jar Jar Binks to the planet Toydaria, where they are to convince the neutral regent, King Katuunko, to send aid to Ryloth. Katuunko follows his conscience and secretly aids the Republic, which Jar Jar is able to keep secret from the snooping Trade Federation agents with his inimitable distractions.
    • Senator Padmé Amidala, Representative Jar Jar Binks and protocol droid C-3PO travel to the planet Rodia on a diplomatic mission to restore the planet's faith in the Republic, which has neglected Rodia's plea for help against incessant pirate attacks on its supply lines. Unknown to the party, the Trade Federation has already made a deal to protect Rodia, and take Padmé prisoner.
    • Discovering Padmé has been taken prisoner, Jar Jar uses a Jedi cloak to disguise himself for a rescue attempt. He scales the tower in which Padmé is being held but falls into the swamp below, gulped down by a huge Kwazel Maw -- a turn of good luck, since the strong creature seemed peaceful, and Jar Jar proclaimed the helpful beast his new friend.
    • Re-engaging the Separatists, Jar Jar appeared in full Jedi robes and ordered the senator released. Droidekas opened fire on Jar Jar, but the Kwazel Maw erupted through the floor and began trashing droids left and right as it flailed about on dry land. Jar Jar rode the beast through the battle. Republic destroyers soon appeared and took the Separatists -- including Viceroy Nute Gunray -- prisoner.
    • Jar Jar arrived at Florrum as a junior diplomatic representative to deliver Republic spice as ransom to Weequay pirates, who had  captured Count Dooku. The shuttle carrying Jar Jar and the spice was shot down by the pirates, however, who hoped to steal the spice and keep their hostage. With only Jar Jar and a handful of clones surviving the crash, the Gungan took charge by leading the clones through the treacherous desert flats.
    • To go after the spice, Jar Jar had the idea of chasing the pirates on skalders -- four-legged burly creatures with thick hides -- which could run full bore through the desert flats due to a heightened sense of knowing when dangerous acid geysers would explode. The skalders caught up with the thieves and the clones opened fire. They blasted the bike hauling the crates, knocking the ransom free.
