Ahmed, a brave, middle-aged, male Gung@n came out on Friday the 4th of 2019. This day will surely go down in history as hopefully, the first and only time a man comes out as a cartoon character. Jar Jar was a pretty notorious space opera actor, and he got blamed for ruining an entire franchise, but he was one of Lucas' characters, and George did have the creative control of the subsequent prequels.
I guess what I’m trying to say is, Lucas inadvertently stuck the knife in, and later realized he should probably finish the job. When he sold the franchise to Di$ney, that was the final twist of the knife. You see what he did was kind of like what one does when they come across a mortally wounded peregrine falcon.
The first thing you do, unless you’re a real asshole, is put the rare creature out of its misery. Then, you take it to the nearest ethically flexible taxidermist who has a private collection for risqué enthusiasts who are fiscally fitter than your average bear.
Money changes hands and wala! Similar to the alchemists in the days of old, you’ve successfully turned lead into gold! As far as I see it, Ahmed should not be ashamed of his work, and if there are any suicidal thoughts, they should come from not having an agent with the wherewithal to get him a permanent cut of residuals. Shit, that makes me depressed just thinking about it.
Regardless, portraying him as the new Caitlyn Jenner should surely jump start his career to the point where he can continue to get work based on the extraordinary bravery and courage that it must have taken to come out of the closet and come forward as Jar Jar.
"And throughout my life, I've always wanted to be one of those actors that disappeared into roles. Jar Jar was that times one hundred because I could literally disappear into Jar Jar. I was not there, and that to me was the height of the art form." – Ahmed
