Jar Jar Binks first appears in Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace as a bumbling, foolish Gungan from the planet Naboo who is banished by his tribe as punishment for his clumsiness. He is nearly killed by a Trade Federation transport, only to be saved at the last minute by Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson).
A clumsy, well-meaning Gungan outcast on Naboo, Jar Jar Binks struggled to prove his worth throughout his life.

Darth Vader kept one of Ahsoka Tano's lightsabers after the Clone Wars, but a disturbing theory suggests there was a very dark reason indeed. Ahsoka Tano was Darth Vader's Padawan during the Clone Wars, and the bond between Master and Apprentice was a deep one.
Her very open outfit allows her to move freely and gives her the flexibility to perform many of the high-flying, exaggerated and acrobatic flips that are so quintessential to the character and the animation. Perhaps one of the most notable features about Ahsoka is her smaller stature and accentuated doll-like eyes.
