Jar Jar Binks Actor Ahmed Best “[Stands] In Solidarity” With ‘The Acolyte’ Star Amandla Stenberg

Jar Jar Binks actor Ahmed Best says that he "[stands] in solidarity" with The Acolyte star Amandla Stenberg following the cancellation of her show.

In response, Best shared a statement on Instagram about how he will always stand for artists, no doubt also including others that have been attacked by factions of Star Wars fans, and further tells Stenberg to “keep shining.” Here’s what he said in full: As mentioned, Best himself once struggled with hatred from fans after the release of The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith. On the unfortunate side, there are still all too many cast and crew members that continue to be attacked for merely being included in the Star Wars universe.
