After watching Robot Chicken's humorous skit, I'm very curious to know if any information exists regarding whether or not everyone's favorite Star Wars character actually found out about Anakin Skywalker's reincarnation as Vader or interacts with him at all after Revenge of the Sith?

    @phantom42, Oh wow, didn't see that. And I was looking! Lol. Well, let me change it from "What happened to Binks" (since we already know the answer) to "Did Binks and Anakin ever meet again?" – PartyKingThrandeezy Dec 02 '14 at 17:17

    What did @phantom42 say? I don't know why he deleted the comment. – user931 Dec 02 '14 at 17:40

    Is it possible experiencing Jar Jar was part of what lead Anakin to the dark side? – zipquincy Dec 02 '14 at 17:59

    As you can see, he drowned, then exploded; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLACxMXBRhM – Valorum Dec 02 '14 at 18:06
  • @SachinShekhar, Initially, my question was "What was the fate of Binks?" But phantom commented that it was a duplicate, so I changed it. – PartyKingThrandeezy Dec 02 '14 at 18:16

    As a matter of fact, they DID later meet and became great friends again. In fact, Binks is the genetic template for the Original Trilogy's stormtroopers. – Omegacron Dec 03 '14 at 21:27
  • @Omegacron, That makes sense considering their aiming skills. – PartyKingThrandeezy Dec 04 '14 at 15:58
  • It's certainly possible that they met but it didn't happen in any of the currently recognised "canon" properties (e.g. the 6 films and their novelisations, the Clone Wars TV series or the Clone Wars film), nor has it happened in any of the "legends" properties (e.g. the EU novels or comics). – Valorum Dec 07 '14 at 20:04
  • @Richard, Good, now let's turn that into an answer and end this. XD – PartyKingThrandeezy Dec 08 '14 at 15:27
  • @PartyKingThrandeezy - I refuse to turn my ignorance into an answer. You just know that 30 seconds after I post it, someone will find a picture of them passing in a hallway at the Senate building. – Valorum Dec 08 '14 at 16:07

Has it happened in any canon media? Hell no.

It hasn't happened in any of the properties that are recognised by LucasFilm as canon properties (i.e. the 6 feature films, Clone Wars film, Clone Wars TV series, Rebels TV series), nor has it happened in any of properties that have been reclassified as "legends" properties (i.e. the Ewoks films, Xmas Holiday Special, Radio plays, EU novels, comics, etc).

Has it happened in any licensed media? Yes.

As far as I can tell, the only places they've crossed paths again are in satirical works such as Robot Chicken and Lego Star Wars where the two are put together for comedy effect.

Is it theoretically possible that they came into contact again? Yes.
Is it likely that they came into contact again? No.

As described in this answer here, the general public were probably unaware of Vader's presence and it's unlikely that he was regularly frequenting the Senate Chambers on Coruscant. Those books that do describe his dealings refer to his having a private palace near to the Emperor's offices with shielded corridors and its own landing platform. His guests are invariably Imperial spies, bounty hunters and Naval officers rather than Senators and politicians.
