Author	Topic: Ahmed Best hanging around...
WellKnownCharacter Registered: May '02	Date Posted: 2/11/03 3:33am Subject: Ahmed Best hanging around...
	Okay I noticed this the other day while watching a few of the documenteries and featurettes on the Aotc clones DVD. Now we all lnow that Jar Jar had a greatly reduced role in Episode II, with only about three scenes. What I find amusing about this is the sheer amount of screen time that Ahmed Best has on the DVD! The guy randomly turns up in the most unessesary places (such as costume fittings for Natalie.). Is this some desperate attempt to be more intergrated into the making of the saga? Whats next Ahmed animating Yoda in the 'Digital Characters' docu? Anyway just wondered if anyone else noticed his numerous appearances and ound it funny (For a uy with three scenes.) -----signature----- Everything that has a beginning, has an end.

	Ahmed was a popular guy with the cast and crew in TPM, so even though he had reduced screen-time as Jar Jar in AOTC he was allowed to do a series of web documentaries for Starwars.com. So, he's around due to that. -----signature----- I love all 6 Star Wars films. Live with it. Member of FIGS, the Fantastic Ian (McDiarmid) Gushers Society.

	Ahmed's just having some fun. Is he not allowed to hang out with his friends on set? -----signature----- Angela Why so serious?

	They probably keep him around for entertainment. He's really goofy, and under the stresses of moviemaking, comic relief can be a real stress, um.. reliever. -----signature----- www,517underground.com/forums

	Apart from the fact the the cast and crew seem to genuinely enjoy his company, I suspect that Lucasfilm allow him to do these documentaries so the public could see him in a different light from Jar Jar. After all, they probably feel a little guilty turning the poor guy into the most hated character in one of the most popular movie series of all time. I mean, throw the dog a bone!

	Not meaning to be degrading in any way, but I have often wondered whether Ahmed Best is gay. I just get that vibe from him. Does anyone know for sure?

	It's to bad the Jar Jar character wasn't toned down a little from the start. Ahmed seems like a real likable guy in the documentarys. It's hard not to feel bad for him because he played a charachter so hated. -----signature----- ahby / Idiotic Blue One of Density Saved from teh 3SA Board With a little luck... we could shake it up! **AHBY** BYS Master

	I don't think he needed "toning down" at all. Anyhow, Jar Jar's reduced role in AotC sucked. He had some awesome, and very funny, moments in the script. -----signature----- "Their people are suffering, Master Jedi!

	What's with that Lucas guy appearing everywhere. He has 0 screen time in any of the movies, and should therefore be banned from the sets.

	Thanks SWF182, for the informed response. I was pretty sure I would get at least one crack about looking for a date, and I wasn't disappointed.

	Ahmed's one of my favorite off screen personalities and everyone seems to really like him For such a larger than life guy, he's pretty down to earth and himself. I'm glad he's having a blast with this! -----signature----- As has been said: Don't **** with Kenobi
