I think even the younger people wound up getting annoyed with him. I wasn't fond of Jar Jar when TPM first came out. I was 11 at the time.
The movie just wasn't what people were expecting giving that 16 years had passed. I thought it had alot of Star Wars spirit myself. It maybe dragged a bit at times, but I liked it.
Agreed, he ruined certain scenes and aspects of the film to me, I just don't say that he "ruined the entire movie." Jar Jar could not have ruined Obi-Wan vs. Maul and other such aspects of the film in which he wasn't involved in. Only the scenes he were in- which don't constitute for the "entire film." So that's why I hate when people say "he ruined the whole movie." Just some of it.
Heres the great Jar Jar

Georgie boy does, and according to him, so don't all the kids.

It's ok, I still like the Prequels alot, but Lucas can admit that Jar Jar wasn't one of his better ideas. Maybe if he was a costume character and not an annoying animated piece of CGI, it could have worked.
The character Jar Jar hurts my brain, but I actually like the design of the Gungans. It would've been cool to see the species ACTUALLY fight in the Battle of Naboo. Not running around like morons, pimp slapping a droid here and there, but like WAR.
I think that would been cool. Jar Jar blows monkeys.

Lucas is my dad. 😐Nah, but really lol If you look at interviews online there have been several people who asked him how he's dealt with the rejection of Jar Jar and he alawys goes, "Well, not everyone hates Jar Jar. The kids loved him, its' the older audience that didn't recieve him well."
That seems to be LUcas' remedy in sweet talking the PT: " THere's a lot of fans out there, new fans, that love the new SW". He calls it "a whole new generation" which basically comes down to kids under 9 or so. He says the olde rgeneration loves the OT and a new generation the PT. I can't remember seeing on these pictures from 1977 endless lines of little kids waiting to get into the theatre.
So little kids sub 9 or lower love SW, ergo it's great. Especially Jar Jar, he's the greatest SW character ever. Let's ask these kids again in 15 years or so, will they still love the PT and JarJar?? I doubt it.
