You can make your confession in the Swamp... yoink! ;)

 

I personally thought he was okay at first, but by the end of the movie, I hated him very, very much.

I'm glad his role in AotC is negligible.

 

 

I don't think that's a spoiler, but just to be safe... :)

I don't think Jar Jar's annoying either, but I can understand if someone thinks so.

 

How I see the situation(in TPM) is that some of those hardcore fans were taking whole SW and quasi-religious teachings of the Jedi too literally and couldn't see the big picture anymore. Lucas must have noticed the same thing and therefore Jar Jar could have been kind a deliberate statement to loosen up before the dark times come.

 

Why he wasn't eactly loved by many could be explained so that there hasn't been any other character of his magnitude in SW saga before; I heard though that C-3PO stood out from the crowd almost same way when ANH first premiered and some "fans" didn't originally like his nagging, but when he was blasted to pieces in ESB, he was suddenly part of the family. Maybe he was too extreme, too goofy or too stupid(depends on how you see him) and that's why he seemed to dominate every scene where he was. My point however is, don't look at him or what he appears to be, but instead look at the other characters: they are overally too damn serious(just like some of those fans out there) and without few exceptions like Han/Lando, there's not much depth in their characters. :rolleyes:

 

At the same time, Jar Jar was also a tribute to the slapstick comedy of silent movies era and the likes of Buster Keaton just like Lucas revealed in the DVD commentary track of TPM. I haven't tried it myself, but he has said several times that these movies could be easily watched without sound(except music playing at the background) and you would still understand what happens. Now, I ask you, what kind of humour is most visible when you can't hear those popular argues between C-3PO and RD-D2? Slapstick humour. ;)

The only problem I ever had with Jar Jar was the first time I watched the movie it was a bit too difficult to understand some of his lines. He and the gungans do serve a purpose in the plot though, and once you get used to the way he talked you could understand him. I think the reason there is so much hatred toward him is people just jumping on the bandwagon and then attempting to over dramatize his effect on the movie. He just happened to be what Lucas used to fill the light hearted humour role in TPM, like C3P0 was in the originals.

I don't dislike Jar Jar. If there IS something that annoys me about him, its that he is SUCH a cliche. I mean, how often does the clumsy, cowardly character, who everyone is annoyed with because of those two traits and then comes to save the day with his bumbling antics, show up in stories? It is almost a character archetype. I thought that Lucas could have done better.

 

But I don't really get annoyed with him. His voice and dialect don't bother me at all.

I feel the same way about Brittany spears and any one of the boy bands. A few people make fun of them and then everyone is on the bandwagon. Not that there aren't good reasons to dislike them... but I don't think that many people began spouting off about them for their own original reasons.

I heard that originally they were going to scrap the english voice and give him a new york-ish accent. Seriously. Then the guy who did his voice and suffered in the suit made a big stink. Glad he did.

Wow, I don't think I have ever seen this many non-Jar Jar haters in a single thread.

 

I'm with you guys though, I personally didn't mind him in the least. I even found myself chuckling at him every once and a while.

First off... if you read the post... I wasn't knocking her. I was saying that I think people bash her just because everyone does...

 

Second, WHO CARES if I spelled her name wrong, dude? Are you reading posts for their content or for their grammatical structure? Why don't you come up with something of substance instead of just criticizing peoples spelling?

 

Its the internet... people are typing quickly and don't always care if something is mispelled. You are going to have to come to terms with that or lead an irritating life.

I already lead an irritating life and nothing is going to change that. And, yes, I do check people's spelling. It's sad that people can't spell right. That is a fairly basic skill, not to mention you see her name everywhere. If you can't spell it right by now, well, then, there really is no hope. I type quickly, but that doesn't mean I don't have the courtesy to spell right. :rolleyes:

To that...easy ma'am.

 

To the thread...Jar Jar was kind of funny, I never really had a problem with him, some people just take SW too seriously, is what I think it was...
