 CNN -- Jar Jar jars viewers, spawns criticism -- June 9, 1999
Jar Jar Binks, a member of the Gungan tribe from the planet Naboo, is the first breakout character from "The Phantom Menace." He's even made the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

"The leader of Jar Jar's tribe is a fat, bumbling buffoon with a rumbling voice, and he seems to be a caricature of a stereotypical African tribal chieftain," Dyson says.
