Ok. I need some help out from some of you Star Wars gurus.

My nephew says one of his friends told him that Jar Jar Binks actually makes a small background appearance somewhere in Return of the Jedi.

I consider myself fairly knowledgeable in the film's content...and when he told me that, I automatically ruled out that Jar-Jar could not possibly be anywhere in the actual original 1983 footage.

For if he was, that would mean Lucas conceptualized Jar-Jar's character almost 17 years before The Phantom Menace was released. ..which I highly doubt.

So, my theory remains that if Jar Jar is in ROTJ, he would have to undoubtedly be somewhere in the Special Edition footage that was added in 1997.

I dont think Jar-Jar, or any gungan for that matter is featured anywhere in ROTJ, to my knowledge.

but my nephews friend says he is featured in a scene with Jabba on Tattooine.

Ill leave this to you guys. Is this kid on LSD or is Jar-Jar actually somewhere in there??

The only thing he could be referring to is the scene at the very end of the NEWEST special edition where they show a scene on Naboo with some random Gungans shouting, "Weesa FREE!" But I don't think it is Jar Jar or is intended to be. I think it's just some random Gungans.

Definitely not in the 1983 version. Or the 1997 version.
