> [@The Hook](#): > > Forget the in-theater cheering. A celebration within the movie must have logically ensued: > > “So this is how Jar Jar dies. With thunderous applause.” Ah – finally a satisfying explanation for the tacked-on ending of ROTJ! It’s a flashback of the galaxy-wide celebration of Jar Jar’s demise!

I’ve never understood the hatred either. It seems like wasted energy. But remember, kids, even if Jar Jar survives he’s a member of the Senate from Naboo. “I have just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council…permanently.” That can only mean one thing to me. ---

> [@jasg](#): > > Check out [this](http://www.strangecosmos.com/content/item/5774.html) link. He may be dead… Damn. I hurt myself laughing so hard at that. I think that he should have been forced into a sissy fight to the death with 3PO, ala Kirk and Spock in that TOS episode where Spock suddenly gets horny. ---

> [@Rashak Mani](#): > > PG-13 ! No pre-teens to watch such a deserving end to Jar-Jar… Heh. My wife took our three year-old daughter to go see ROTS. I don’t think Sophie would’ve truly “gotten” a Jar-Jar death scene, though… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/applause-if-and-when-jar-jar-binks-died/305094.md?page=2)
