What happened to Jar Jar binks after episode 3?
Jar Jar ends up being an outcast while performing odd tasks on the streets for children. Jar Jar seems to have later felt guilty for his actions as he talked about big mistakes while talking. Given how Jar Jar Bink chose an alternate career, he became a beloved street performer in Theed, who was loved by the little ones and hated by the adults.
As he talked about some big mistakes that were responsible for his isolation, viewers were quick to understand that he was talking about his decision to give Palpatine emergency powers. That decision was surely a bad one as it went on to wreak havoc on the galaxy for years, as the Emperor ruled with an iron fist and tormented people. Not to forget how Jar Jar went on to become one of the most hated characters in Star Wars.
Even before the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, director J J Abrams revealed all about his plans regarding Bink’s death and how it was initially planned to put his bones in the desert while calling it interesting and dark. However, the Star Wars makers did not ultimately go ahead with the plan.

The actor further added jor it was something he could have immediately said yes to but did have to marinate over it for a bit.
