Goofy was the inspiration for Jar Jar Binks of Star Wars admits George Lucas

George Lucas, the creator of the space age saga Star Wars has admitted that Goofy was the inspiration behind his creation of the character of Jar Jar Binks. His admission has come after years of being criticized. He made this admission to surprised fans at a Disney convention.
He made the comment as he was welcomed into the club of Disney Legends along with Pirates of the Caribbean star Johnny Depp. The venue was the convention center in Anaheim, California, where the D23 Expo is taking place.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 15 August 2015.

Jar Jar Binks is a computer-generated character and it first made its appearance in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. It did not go down well with fans of Star Wars and they accused Lucas and others of pandering to younger viewers with a comic sidekick.
Johnny Depp was also present. He had donned the costume and thick black eyeliner of Captain Jack Sparrow for the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean film that is due out in 2017. His appearance delighted his fans – it was a sort of surprise.
