Ahmed Best on podcasts, filmmaking & Jar Jar Binks (FULL INTERVIEW)

It's finally time for round three of my interview series with Ahmed Best. This time we discuss his new podcast, why Jar Jar Binks should be remembered as a filmmaking milestone as well as asking George Lucas if Binks could be killed off. AND he reads the Jar Jar passage from the Chick Wendig novel 'Star Wars Aftermath: Empires End'. Plus the great man also takes some of YOUR questions!
