Jar Jar looked way, way better that the Na'vi? You weren't looking closely enough then perhaps. Have you see their facial animations? I don't know how and what cameron did but the expressions look too human, coupled with the skin textures followed by things like real water hitting those textures and how it fall off and dews naturally as if it were realistic skin..Jar jar was not this although he was a great creation (visually) that work is in no comparison to the Na'vi characters of pandora, visually speaking. And the blue aliens did have a green backdrop to them to distinguish 'em even more.
imo, Na'vi faces have the most realistic look out of any fictional cgi characters face i've ever seen in film since Beowulf. Imagine CGI ten years from now. It''s gonna shift into photorealism. Or at least a hybrid of the two. Photorealism is a step up from cgi. And it's the future.
imagine bringing back Bruce Lee or James Dean and have 'em look as real as they really humanly looked when they were alive while starring in your latest blockbuster.
imagine that. starring Leonardo DiCaprio and (a 20 year old) James Dean.
then video games'd follow after that, primarily during the late stages of ps4, and definetely ps5.
the future is wild and i've gone of topic. anyway, Avatar.
