    Dialog transcript
    Yoda
    With you the force is strong... young Senator. To see you alive brings warm feeling to my heart.
    Padme Amidala
    Thank you, Master Yoda. Do you have any idea who was behind the attack?
    Mace Windu
    Our intelligence points to disgruntled spice miners, on the moons of Naboo.
    Padme Amidala
    I don't wish to disagree but I think that Count Dooku was behind it.
    Mace Windu
    You know, M'Lady, Count Dooku was once a Jedi. He wouldn't assassinate anyone, it is not in his character.
    Ki-Adi-Mundi
    He is a political idealist, not a murderer.
    Yoda
    In dark times nothing is what it appears to be, but the fact remains Senator, in grave danger you are.
    Palpatine
    Count Dooku has always avoided any kind of conflict. It appears he has no desire to start a war. Why would he kill you? To what end?
    Padme Amidala
    I don't know, but everything in my being tells me he was behind it...
    Palpatine
    Master Jedi, may I suggest that the Senator be placed under the protection of your graces.
    Bail Organa
    Do you think that is a wise use of manpower during these stressful times?
    Padme Amidala
    Chancellor, if I may comment, I do not believe the...
    Palpatine
    ..."situation is that serious." No, but I do, Senator.
    Padme Amidala
    Chancellor, please! I don't want any more guards!
    Palpatine
    I realise all too well that additional security might be disruptive for you, but perhaps someone you are familiar with... an old friend like... Master Kenobi...
    Mace Windu
    That's possible. He has just returned from a Border dispute on Ansion.
    Palpatine
    You must remember him, M'Lady... he watched over you during the blockade conflict.
    Padme Amidala
    This is not necessary, Chancellor.
    Palpatine
    Do it for me, M'Lady, please. I will rest easier. We had a big scare today. The thought of losing you is unbearable.
    Mace Windu
    I will have Obi-Wan report to you immediately, M'Lady.
    Yoda
    Too little about yourself you worry, Senator, and too much about politics. Be mindful of your danger, Padme. Accept our help.
    Palpatine, Yoda, Plo Koon, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Mace Windu, Padme Amidala, Gregar Typho, Mas Amedda, Dorme, Bail Organa, Orn Free Taa

Summary
Jar Jar Binks was the first Gungan to represent his people in the Galactic Senate, first serving as a Junior Representative along with Senator Padme Amidala, and then, after her death, serving as full Senator himself. Like most Gungans, Binks was lanky and spoke Basic with a unique accent. Despite being naive and clumsy, Jar Jar Binks contributed greatly to the fate of the Galactic Republic, both for good and ill. He was a General, Representative, and later a Senator. Binks was also one of Qui-Gon Jinn's companions during the Invasion of Naboo, traveling to distant worlds such as Tatooine and Coruscant, an activity not taken up by many Gungans. On his return to Naboo, he served as a Bombad General for a short while in the Gungan Grand Army, and was a joint commander of the Battle of the Great Grass Plains with General Ceel. Binks later helped his people colonize the nearby Naboo moon Ohma-D'un. During his career as Junior Representative, he acted as Amidala's proxy and proposed giving Supreme Chancellor Palpatine emergency powers in order to deal with the Separatist Crisis. Binks would continue his public service even after the death of Amidala, taking her place as Senator of the Chommell sector in the newly-reformed Imperial Senate.
