I can't understand all the criticism of him. At least Lucas bothered to give him a personality which is more than can be said for a lot of those in Episode I.

Yeah I think Lucas tried to redeem him by giving him an important role. Do you know who the most important character is in the entire star wars saga? It's the gunner on the star destroyer that captured the Tantive blockade runner. If he'd shot the escape pod with the droids then they wouldn't have met luke, wouldn't have met Obi Wan, wouldn't have met Han, wouldn't have met Leia and wouldn't have got the Death Star plans to the Alliance. This guy deserves more recognition!

I had an AOL sn once called Jar Jar da Jedi, I went into role playing chats and ppl cussed me out 🙁

It was a joke anyways but why do ppl hate the guy so much

I agree amity...!! 😄 👆

In§anE...I'm not sure...I don't really mind him but he can get pretty annoying...

Well, let me put it this way. I can tolerate Jar Jar, but I could have done without him!!! 🙂

same here.

Lucas makes the movies with the 10 year old kid in mind and I haven't met any kids who don't like Jar Jar so from that point of view Lucas has succeeded with Jar Jar.

actually, my 9 year old brother hates jar jar, but i guess it doesn`t matter because he isn`t a SW fan.

Yes, you're correct. Looks like Lucas did succeed with Jar Jar, but fortunatly, Jar Jar had hardly any screen time in Episode 2. Maybe Lucas caught on to all the negativity from the older people, or maybe that's just the way he had it all planned in the first place. 🙂

The problem with jar jar is that Lucas made it so that Episode 1 would appeal to a new generation so he'd get more money.

However, he should have been intending to appeal to the older fans who had seen the first movies because once the younger generations gets older, they'll see through the whole Jar Jar role and realize how stupid it was.

I heard JarJar dies in this episode.

I guess its only his cousin or a clone of himself appearing in Ep4

🙂

if he dies, that will be the best part of the movie, but i doubt he will.

although, he serves the same purpose, in my opinion, jar jar isn't nearly as obnoxious as the ewoks.

I was a kid when I first saw ROTJ so the Ewoks didn't bother me but if they weren't in ROTJ and Lucas included them in the prequel trilogy then I'd denounce my love of star wars and go and live in a monastery.

amity> i too was a kid when i saw rotj (standing in line sucks) and at the time they didn't bother me as much. over the last few years, i have really grown to resent and despise their existence and placement in the movie. i can't help but fast forward through their scenes. i now see through them clearly, similar to what spearhead stated in his post.

just give me the tatooine scenes, the space battle, and luke whooping vaders a$$, and i'll be a happy man.

madsci

i really don`t mind the ewoks, but i do think Lucas could have created something ten times better if he had tried.

I agree with Madsci, I hate all the scenes with the Ewoks as alot of it is boring to me.

i heard somewhere that Lucas originally wanted Endor to be a wookie planet . i don`t know if it is true, but Endor would have been a lot cooler with wookies.

as stated before, i think jar jar has a much more crucial role to play, as seen in aotc. also, by the fact that he was used less in aotc, his role will more than likely be even more minimal in III, but still important.

madsci
yeah, i still got the hots for leia in her slave outfit

Yes that's true. GL gave Jar Jar such a small, yet important role in Episode 3.
