has anyone seen the episode 1 dvd extras, GL is going over the script in one and talks about jar jar, he was supposed to be the "comedy element" of star wars, i think c3po and r2d2 pulled it off quite well enough without acting like an (awkward fish) with legs on LSD and cocaine.ie jar jar
He was supposed to be, but it failed so GL went back to the old and trusted R2 and C3PO. Those had worked already and would again, it was a sure deal. Its not that I liked Jar Jar, but I didn't mind him either, and at least it was different from those two we already knew, of course i'm glad he's gone because he just made the entire mood seem less dark.
