This is such a funny and relatable moment for Captain Rex. We love how he immediately draws a line when it comes to training Jar Jar Binks, showing that even a legendary soldier has his limits.
What does this quote mean? (Meaning & Context)
Obi-Wan suggests giving Jar Jar some combat training and Padmé being behind the idea. Rex’s flat, immediate refusal is a hilarious testament to how much of a “liability” Jar Jar is considered to be by the professional soldiers of the Grand Army.
