3. i dunno...Return of the Jedi could have been salvageable, but for the Ewoks
would the phantom menace have been any better without Jar-Jar?

5. It's a fair point.
But the presence of the Ewoks was a more general blunted discomfort (for the most part), whereas Jar Jar was a sharpened point of lameness continuously jabbing you throughout the film.

2. Jar Jar is so far ahead of the game, it's not funny.

If there were to be just one reason to execute Lucas for lack of artistic vision and integrity, Jar Jar is the first reason. Ewoks don't come in until about reason 25.

6. I say Ewoks because while Jar Jar was an annoying fucker
he's

A) easily edited out completely
B) not ~that~ relevant to the Star Wars plot, whereas teddy bears defeating the guys with "THE DEATH STAR" ( and the loot to build a second one, mind you ) was integral to the plot, and much dumber than Jar Jar.

8. Integral to the plot? Lucas made Jar Jar a friggin Senator!
One who cast the vote to give the chancellor dictatorial powers.

12. I happened to be watching old Hanna-Barbera cartoons the other night...
and I swear the entire Ewok battle scene was a near shot for shot remake of an old Space Ghost episode.

Not that I agree with you here. Jar Jar was integral to the "plot" of these last three pieces of crap. Jar Jar's vote in the senate is what leads the Emperor to gain power. Hows that for a kcik in the nuts?

9. I hate Jar-Jar.
Edited on Wed Oct-17-07 03:36 PM by FormerRushFan
Oh. My. God.

Actually, I don't know if I really would have hated him as much as what happened when I saw TPM...

I BOUGHT TICKETS ON EBAY, HAD TO MEET THE GUY TO GET THE TICKETS AND STOOD IN LINE to see TPM the first day.

With me, my ultra-patient wife standing/sitting with me in line, who I've since found out makes fun of people who are really into Star Wars...

We get into the theater, and sitting behind us, some fucking Star Wars Geek-Dweeb. Hey, the whole audience is filled with them, what would make this guy "special"?

Silent for the whole beginning of the movie, Obi-Wan Ka-Dwee-Bo starts in when Jar-Jar arrives.

How?

THIS FUCKING ASSHOLE IS SOMEHOW POSSESSED WITH HAVING TO *R*E*P*E*A*T* every fucking line, every fucking word our beloved CGI friend has to say like he's memorizing it.

It was like having some fucking obnoxious retarded stupid ECHO sitting behind us. EVERY FUCKING WORD and ONLY from his honor, Sir Jar-Jar.

So if you ask me who is more annoying, I looked up annoying in my illustrated dictionary, and behold! a picture of Jar-Jar and a piece of chalk breaking and scratching the surface of a blackboard.

Fuck you, Jar-Jar, may you become Bantha fodder...
