His Star Wars roles include Gadon Thek and additional voices in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Riiken and additional voices in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, and Jedi Master Kit Fisto, Amit Noloff, Senators Bail Organa, Orn Free Taa, Philo, and the tactical droids in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series. More recently, he did various voice work for the video game Star Wars: The Old Republic and reprised his role as Senator Organa in Star Wars: Rebels and Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi.
His short stand-in voice work for Jar Jar Binks in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series was unknown until 2020. For a long time only a person named BJ Hughes was credited as having voiced Jar Jar in three episodes of the series, where Ahmed Best didn't return to voice him. Until BJ Hughes was confirmed to have been an alias for LaMarr, the person behind the name remained an unsolved mystery.
In 2009, when asked by The ForceCast, Lucasfilm was unable to find out who BJ Hughes was. In the following episode, when The ForceCast asked Dave Filoni who exactly BJ Hughes was, Filoni simply said that he replaced Ahmed Best as the voice of Jar Jar in the series and that that was about as far as he could go. Best later stated in an interview that he had decided to move on to other projects midway through The Clone Wars, necessitating that the role be recast.
In 2020, through a tweet Best referred to actor and comedian Phil LaMarr as the person who replaced him briefly as Jar Jar on The Clone Wars implying that Hughes is actually LaMarr. In an Avatar: The Last Airbender rewatch panel on Twitch hosted by actor Dante Basco and Honor Society, LaMarr confirmed that he voiced Binks before Best returned to the role.
