My first viewing of TPM I was somewhat annoyed by Jar Jar. After viewing the movie again I remembered that these were made for kids and that I should remember what it was like seeing ANH in the theatre at seven.. then I loved the character. Jar Jar is necessary.. because he is the every day person. Not everyone can be a jedi, a senator, a queen. And even everyday people get wrapped up in an adventure.
Nobody could understand Jar Jars existence because he was effectivey fulfilling C3PO's (out of his depth in a big grand battle) role.
There was absolutely no need to write C3PO out of that role.
If ANYBODY uses the "well he was only just built and couldn't move properly" is full of crap. that wouldn't have been an issue if the script was written half decent anyway. Darth Vader building 3PO? That has to be the most ludicrous thing ever. Just make him a damn protocol droid, we didn't need to see Obi-Wan being born, so why 3PO?
3PO and R2D2 are the comic relief, not Jar Jar.
3PO is the iconic comic relief that we identify more, mainly because he's like the little old man inside us all, always complaining and not getting the bigger picture. Jar Jar could barely string a coherant sentence together - only an equally retarded person could identify with Jar Jar Binks.
See, I see where you're coming from, but I don't see it necessary to have R2 or C3PO in the prequels at all. In fact, i think that their presence serves to simply slap fans in the face with "the connections". Jar Jar was a (feeble) attempt at replacing them, and when it didn't pan out(which it didn't) Georce must have said, "Oh, well. Back to the uninspired plan..."
I agree that 3PO is the comic relief. As a youngin', he was always my favorite, but the prequels were supposed to present new characters, and because they didn't work, Lucas reverted to old ones, instead of coming up with truly creative output.

I didn't see the idea of Jar Jar being neccessary either. Comic relief is something I look to my friends for, not a STar Wars movie. While there should be some levity in the works, the tone should still be serious. As for the Gunguns themselves... well.... I can let them slide.

Jar Jar is a very annoying character. I didnt like him in TPM. His accent is very annoying. I really enjoyed him in AOTC though because he didn't come out that much. I hope anakin kills him in ROTS... mwahahaha. Death to the gungan mwahahahaha.

Jar Jar Binks is the worst character ever. Star Wars should never be reduced to fart jokes and/or "Exsqueeze Me?" lines.
F*ck Jar Jar in his retarded *ass
