ZBomber Posted August 31, 2003 Share Posted August 31, 2003 Originally posted by wassup 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. I was 9 when I saw it. I did not laugh. I was tramtized for life......

wassup Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Originally posted by Admiral Vostok 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. Nerd Alert Nerd Alert (j/k hehe ) Good, insightful analogy. Originally posted by ZBomber I was 9 when I saw it. I did not laugh. I was tramtized for life...... Well I tend to consider LFers abnormally mature...er...i mean...more mature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro The Hutt Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I can see why people hate him, but personally I never minded him, I had a stronger disliking for Jake Lloyd than for Jar Jar lol. But anyway, sure he is a clumsy person who doesn't seem fully aware of what's going on all the time. But he did manage to unite the Naboo and the Gungans, although by accident, for a clumsy fellow he has alot of luck. And about the downfall of the republic thanks to Jar-Jar, like others said, he just mentioned the idea, it was up to the other senators to agree or disagree, but they practically unanymously agreed. For the same matter it might have been Padme who was asked/forced to suggest it if she didn't run away. Let's see the Portman fans bash her if that were the case XD And as a final point in defense of all the Gungans, and as a pointer to those who hate comic relief characters, not all Gungans are like Jar-Jar, if we look at Captain Tarpals he seemed like a cunning warrior. But ofcourse most of us define an entire Star Wars species by the examples we get, for example we saw Chewie as the first Wookiee, and from there on we thought that all Wookiees were tough and cool like he was. But for the same matter there might be a pacifist Wookiee somewhere on Kashyyyk hehe. Anyways [/end rant] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Exactly right, Pedro. As a semi-related anecdote: One of my best friends dislikes Jar Jar, though he can give me no logical reason why. So just to annoy him I bought this great Jar Jar T-Shirt (not one of those little-jid ones, you know) to wear all the time. It really pissed him off. Quite amusing.

darth small Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 the only parts i liked were when jar jar stepped in the turd walking into mos espa and when the beast of burden(what were those weird looking dodo things anyway?) farted on him otherwise nothing else he did was funny.

Shado Vorn Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 I tried to sell the idea of a bonk the Jar Jar on the head with a sledge hammer game to GL, but for some reason it didn't fly ... something about angry Star Wars fans breaking the heads off and using them as their own personal soccer balls or something along those lines ... Actually to tell the truth, if I were playing the game and heard him say - "HAHA! YOUSA MISSDA MEESA!" - I would probably start using my fists instead of the foam hammer. Die Jar Jar. May Vader make your death a painful one in E3, even if it's not supposed to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amadeus Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I didn't hate him, but I didn't see much point to him. He was pretty loud and obnoxious, and I wouldn't have minded if he wasn't in the movie. Besides the fact that he was a CGI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickbeam Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I've noticed that the in the newer Star Wars films, the REALLY REALLY stupid, greedy, clumsy, and selfish characters all have some sort of accent that originates elsewhere besides england. The viceroy of the trade federation, a kniving (sp?), selfish, and gutless character has a non-english accent. The cruel and heartless slavedriver Watto also has a non-english accent. The insanely dumb leader of the Gunguns (again with the sp?) has a non-english accent. AND TO TOP IT OFF, the stupidest most annoying prick in the entire star wars genre has an overly done Jamaican accent. George decided to make all the idiots and evil-doers in his movies seem as if to come from other races, and that makes me mad. Because of that, the character known as Jar Jar Binks is very insulting to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Fisher Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Jar Jar is just annoying, from the way he walks to the way he talks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 He just didn't fit right or feel right in the movie. He looked stupid, but even then, he talked stupid. He basically seemed like an annoying Roger Rabbit. He seemed so fake! George could have replaced him with something so much better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Here we go with the racist thing again Don't you think if Jar Jar was a racist stereotype that Ahmed Best would have refused to play him? The same thing was said about Darth Vader, being an evil black guy. But surely James Earl Jones would not have voiced Vader if he thought there were wider racial connotations to the character. If you see something racist in Star Wars, chances are you're a racist yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
