Star Wars: Databank | Binks, Jar Jar (533 words) |
 | Jar Jar braved the "nocombackie law" to present Qui-Gon to the Gungan leader, Boss Nass, even though he risked the consequence of being "pounded" to death. |
| For many, Jar Jar was but a joke, the subject of derision, but in the corrupt inner confines of Senate, his lanky frame stood as a rare example of non-corrupt politician interested only in the greater good of the Republic and his people. |
| Jar Jar was a member of the Loyalist Committee, a panel of Senators concerned with countering the increasing threat of a Separatist movement spreading throughout the galaxy. |
| On "Anecdote of the Jar" (3858 words) |
| The jar is a visual surveillance point, not teasingly enigmatic but blank, without cordial allusions to illustrious urn forebears and implicitly a rebuff to Keatss expression of ardent longing for a consummate reciprocity between art and nature. |
| Indeed, in Anecdote of the Jar the Tennessee wilderness is less satisfactorily assimilated by the power of the colonising consciousness: the jar may take dominion, but the wilderness is not internalised as an active source of creative power; it does not give its energy and fecundity to the jar. |
| The jar is round upon a rounded piece of ground, a hill, and the image of roundness is picked up again, phonetically, in the word ground: "The jar was round upon the ground." Stevens catches the assimilation of chaos to order in the moment of transformation. |
