pleto4_ryan Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 When the first episode came out one think most said... "That Jar-Jar is SO awful" Why is that... I never disliked him a bit... He isn't the brightest brain...but he is some kind of "cute" ----------------------------------------------------- Also in episode 2 i found him so grown up and depressed...
Wesia Daoke Posted July 31, 2003 Posted July 31, 2003 he just was annoying. the way he walked the way he talked he was just errrrrr:mad:
another_trooper Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 The way he talked was annoying to me and also the fact that he seems like the clueless dumb@$$ that screws everything up and doesnt notice it. Its the kind of person that ppl really hate. . . I didnt hate that much, but I didnt like him either. . .
Lynk Former Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 he just DID NOT want to shut up... so i killed him
coupes. Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 It's simple, he is annoying, I always had to think about what he had just siad to make sure I had understood correctly (not that anyting he siad mattered). Ans secondly, he brought nothing to the movie, exept being the 'link' to the gungan army. Oter than that he's plain goofy and was only put there to buy some laughter, and it didn't really work for me. But he's far from ruining the movie, IMH.

coupes. Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 I was only talking about TMP... but that's anothr thing why the **** is he a senator at the galactic senate, didn't the gungan have anyone more intelligent to send there?
Wesia Daoke Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 maybe their all stupid. ***Sits and hopes that the Gungans become fair game to hunt all year around***
JediNyt Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 If Jar Jar hadnt suggested that Palpatine should get emergency powers someone else would have. Remember Palpy has influence over hundreds of senators, he just needed one of them to propose the emergency powers. Jar Jar didnt give Palpy the powers, it was the whole Senate that agreed to do it. Anyways I dont hate or love Jar Jar. Hes funny and hes also annoying. Actually I didnt find him annoying in Ep2.
lukeiamyourdad Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 Jar Jar is the comic relief, a brief moment out of the ordinary. Just like 3PO was in the OT. And in AotC he didn't do alot so...he couldn't be annoying. The Gungans probably sent him because he reunited the Naboo and the Gungans. It may have shown so kind of...diplomatic skill...
DarthMuffin Posted August 1, 2003 Posted August 1, 2003 Originally posted by lukeiamyourdad Jar Jar is the comic relief, a brief moment out of the ordinary. Just like 3PO was in the OT. I think that C3PO was much better for a comic relief. Jar Jar is just stupid and clumsy, he's not really funny. However, the way C3PO was always scared about following artoo was nice ; and seeing a tall scared droid with a short courageous one was a good contrast. Oh, and C3PO's voice is not annoying like Jar Jar's...

Lynk Former Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 *nods* plus u had the ability of Threepio and Artoo to form a dynamic duo to entertain us all
Wesia Daoke Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 i love R2-D2 i mainly like his tone of voice:D beep-beep-BEEP-berwb-beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. lol
ras1310 Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 Originally posted by Darth54 I think that C3PO was much better for a comic relief. Jar Jar is just stupid and clumsy, he's not really funny. Exactly. Comic relief has to actually be comedy. An idiot doing stupid things is not automatically funny, and that's all they had.
wassup Posted August 2, 2003 Posted August 2, 2003 I think people, especially the old SW fans who loved the classic trilogy, hated Jar-Jar because they felt his character was aimed at a younger, less mature audience. The older fans felt betrayed by Lucas by including such a poor character and decided to let their rants out.
boinga1 Posted August 11, 2003 Posted August 11, 2003 The "older" viewers had their own ideas about what should be in episode 1 and when it wasn't in there, they started...well I'm sorta prejudiced, OK. Jar Jar is just a loser. That doesn't mean I hate him. I don't love him eoither. I just think he's a loser. Of course, he probably thinks the same of me.
The Cheat Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 i didnt really care for jar jar but he did not ruin the movie for me
Redwing Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 I never minded Jar Jar. The only thing was that he had too many scenes in TPM, so alot of people got annoyed.
Surfnshannon Posted August 12, 2003 Posted August 12, 2003 He was damn annoying and pretty much pointless as far as the plot is concerned.
pleto4_ryan Posted August 15, 2003 Author Posted August 15, 2003 Originally posted by STTCT and pretty much pointless as far as the plot is concerned. i don't agree to that. He paied one huge role at the plot...mostly by accident...but he did (he reminds me a little of cartoons)
Admiral Vostok Posted August 19, 2003 Posted August 19, 2003 Well anyone who hates Jar Jar just isn't a true Star Wars fan as far as I'm concerned. I love him, he's one of my favourite characters. But there is a reason he is in Star Wars other than for plot purposes. I think of myself as a Star Wars Scholar, so I'll enlighten the rest of you. Star Wars is and always has been a movie about movies. It is an amalgam of genres, and that is precisely what George Lucas set out to do. Apart from the obvious ones like Science Fiction, Fantasy, Romance and Adventure, Lucas has inserted little bit of genre-mixing in other parts - the start of A New Hope is straight out of a Western, the extended musical seen in Jabba's Palace in ROTJ:SE was finally as lavish as the Musicals Lucas wanted to acknowledge, the detective story and lighting techniques of Attack of the Clones are conventional Film Noir, and every Episode is shot intentionally in a documentary-like format (no place names at the bottom of the screen, no inner-monologues, etc). Jar Jar is just another part of this - he is a homage to the classic Saturday morning cartoon characters we know and love. If it didn't look out of place we'd probably see Jar Jar opening a miniature umbrella to protect himself from a falling anvil. He falls over, he talks funny, his eyes pop out, let's face it he is a pure cartoon. So that is the real reason Jar Jar is in Star Wars - it is part of George Lucas' attempt to fit at least a passing reference to every film genre there has been into Star Wars, his movie about movies.
LiMP RABBiT Posted August 26, 2003 Posted August 26, 2003 I just hated him because a funny accent and a stupid creature dont make a film funny. And he wouldnt shut up. PS. Shut ya cake hole Vostok
