He was actually, he is canonically the most beloved Chancellor in the history of the republic, still seen in a good light even in the modern-day.
Chancellor Blotus
He's not dumb... or truly stupid...How dumb was jarjar in the movies ?,i remember him being easily distracted and very clumsy but not if he was stupid on the top of that.
Roos Tarpals and Boss Nass are gonna have heart attacks when they hear the news.
The Empires human-centrist hyper racism didn't come from nowhere, unfortunately.
Magoose, how many Bothans died to see Jar Jar elected?the Bothan commentator was shouting, his fur bristling with outrage.
I feel bad for Bail here, but I also can't help but feel he had it coming. Like, how did you expect this to be perceived as nothing other than racism?"I'm sorry, Alcia... but who is Jar Jar and what is a Gungan?"
This is where the fun begins.Mostly because the rewards will come when building a government.
yep...
Bail was not bailed out by Jimmy smitts charisma.I feel bad for Bail here, but I also can't help but feel he had it coming. Like, how did you expect this to be perceived as nothing other than racism?
I just hope I will have the kind of involvement as the first vote.
I'm not going to show you the rolls.I wonder how much of ol' Sheev's afflictions are him feigning. Maybe this time around, Plagueis didn't go down without a fight and gave Sidious a hell of an engagement, meaning he had to rest and recover instead if devoting time to political campaigning?
Yes i think so, because palpatine pulled the trigger early and plaguies was not lulled in victory and comfort so i see this as a sign that he probably took a few hits and has to fight the drawback of his shielding and concealing of his true nature.I wonder how much of ol' Sheev's afflictions he is feigning. Maybe this time around, Plagueis didn't go down without a fight and gave Sidious a hell of an engagement, meaning he had to rest and recover instead of devoting time to political campaigning?
He'll take everything Jar Jar says as an insult, won't he?You hesitated, your gaze flicking between the Queen and Palpatine, unsure how to respond. The words stumbled out before you could stop them, awkward as always. "Mesa jusa sorry yousa were notsa da una whosa won da office, Senator Palpatine."
His smile twitched, barely noticeable to anyone who wasn't looking closely. His voice, however, remained smooth as he replied. "Oh, Jar Jar, I thank you for your kind words," he said, a faint touch of something darker slipping into his tone. "But the people and the Senate have spoken."
"This is a sentient who barely qualifies for the basics of a representative!" the Bothan commentator was shouting, his fur bristling with outrage. "He's held no formal political office aside from a minor diplomatic role, and even that was with Jedi support. The only command he's ever held was a battlefield command, and he spent most of that time running off to the front lines, leaving other officers to command strategy while he went leading to the front!"
You winced, feeling the sting of the critique. Sure, you weren't perfect. You knew that. But did they have to say it so loudly?
His co-host, a smirking Twi'lek woman, waved a hand dismissively. "Truly? You think Chancellor Binks is unqualified? Or are you just mad that he doesn't fit the Republic's usual mold for a leader?"
You couldn't help but feel a small flicker of gratitude toward her. Finally, someone who seemed to have a bit of sense. Even if it didn't change the fact that you really, really wanted to go home.
"He seems more than capable," she continued. "The Jedi recognized his worth, and that should give us all pause. He's more than just his peculiar speech patterns and clumsy demeanor."
The Bothan slammed his fist down on the desk, his voice rising in frustration. "The man can barely walk without tripping over himself! And don't get me started on the way he talks! Half the Senate can't even understand him!"
How rude. Your eyes narrowed, annoyance creeping in. *You* could walk just fine, thank you very much. Maybe you tripped *occasionally*, but who didn't?
The Twi'lek laughed lightly. "There are people across the galaxy who think we need a common hero right now. He won a great battle. He helped end the Naboo crisis and was declared a hero by not just his own people, but by the Naboo themselves. Queen Amidala's speech that ousted Chancellor Valorum was heard across the galaxy. It's no wonder the Gungan became a symbol."
The Bothan snorted. "One galactic event shouldn't have catapulted him into power! There were countless other candidates far more qualified than Chancellor Binks!"
The co-host raised an eyebrow, ready with a retort. "You're forgetting that senior senator—what was his name?"
"Lyn'don Jhonson, from Galadran," the Bothan said begrudgingly.
"Exactly. Jhonson started as a dark horse candidate from the Outer Rim, but he threw his support behind Binks, despite others wanting senator A'dama Jenseon, another dark horse who might find himself in quite a position of power after this election… but they couldn't win. Binks had momentum. He had a story people wanted to believe in. and that's how he won."
The Bothan shook his head, his frustration palpable. "But you're forgetting something important," he said, leaning forward. "Senator Palpatine and Senator Organa both blundered spectacularly, reducing themselves to nonentities in this election. Palpatine barely campaigned at all, claiming illness and exhaustion. He was too busy juggling the factions of his political allies, trying to keep them together while battling... well, who knows what? He couldn't rally them around a coherent message. The moment he realized he had no path to victory, he endorsed his fellow Nabooian—Binks. That tells us everything. Palpatine's a political animal. He knows he can get more out of being a power behind the throne than sitting on it himself."
"Mesa declare before yousa all," you began, your voice echoing through the vast chamber, "dat mesa whole life, whether it besa longo or short, shall besa devoted ta yousa service unda service of dat hot republican family ta whichen wesa all belong."
Your words hung in the air for a heartbeat, then two. For a moment, you wondered if they had even understood you. But then—slowly at first, then growing louder—came the sound of applause. It started as a ripple, from a few outer rim representatives, then swelled into a deafening roar that filled every corner of the chamber. Senators from countless systems stood from their seats, clapping and cheering, their approval ringing out across the galaxy.
The noise was overwhelming, but at the same time, it was everything you needed. In that moment, all the doubts and confusion faded. You didn't need to be polished or perfect. The galaxy didn't need another political mastermind—they had plenty of those already. They needed someone genuine, someone who cared, and in your clumsy way, you had given them that.
The applause continued, the senators' faces alight with enthusiasm, and for the first time since you'd entered this strange political whirlwind, you felt a glimmer of purpose. You weren't meant to be here—at least not by your own design—but here you were, and they wanted you to lead.
Perhaps, just perhaps, you could make this work.
The Stark Hyperspace War was in 44 bby so about 12 years before the battle of Naboo.Is it strange i want to see Jar Jar working with the tarkins, really renactment of the Federal United Empire? I mean we need to endorse them to get the outer rim secruity defense force onboard(or whats left of them ) to secure trade routes and all. When was the stark hyperwar?
there is no title.
''Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!''
Added a title now, sorry for not adding one earlier and making adding it tedious.
where?Magoose also missed apocrypha-ing The Tragedy of Darth Sidious which is one of the funniest posts yet.
