Jar Jar Binks Must Die (subtitled ...and Other Observations about Science Fiction Movies) is a 2011 collection of 42 essays by film critic Daniel M. Kimmel, published in a trade paperback edition by Fantastic Books in March 2011, with a second printing following five months later.

[1] Binks in the title is an aside to the Star Wars CGI character who was poorly received; the title gives voice to the extent of the lack of warmth his negative critics had over the controversy raised by Binks' characterization and what it was felt to engender.

[3] The essays originally appeared in such publications as Artemis Magazine, The Internet Review of Science Fiction, Clarkesworld and Space & Time.

Elizabeth Hand wrote in F&SF that "Kimmel's a terrific guide to classic though underappreciated works such as Things to Come, and is especially sharp on 1950s sf movies, David Cronenberg, and the art (or lack of same) of movie remakes.

"[4] Analog reviewer Don Sakers also praised the collection, saying, "Whether [Kimmel]'s explaining why Metropolis is such an important film, or joining in with the obligatory George Lucas bashing, his writing is intelligent and entertaining.
