[Pattar007]

What did Hayden Cristin ruin? Trust me that kid can act, it isn't his fault George can't direct when he has a budget.

Look at the acting in the first three, lower budgets, better acting, the new three, bigger budgets, crappy acting.

[GaryLASQ]

actually, the acting in episode 4 wasn't all that great (except for Alec Guinness of course). and guess who directed that one? that's right - Lucas...

the special effects, sound effects, character creations and music blew people away. not the acting/directing.

John Williams has said in a couple of older interviews that he was in some kind of "creative zone" when doing the music. it was (is) a truely amazing composition of music, in spite of the fact that it was a film score ;)

Jar Jar was a huge mistake...never should have happened. i understand what Lucas was going for. (accident proned, ignorant character bumbling his way through war and conflict.) but he didn't have to make a nursery school character out of him. i think i would have prefered Barney to Jar Jar.

JarJar should have never been created, but since he was, Boss Nass should have offed him in Boss Nass's first scene and then helped the jedi anyway. Movie goes on w/no changes beyond the death of JarJar, which would not be any loss at all.

As I have posted elsewhere, the second two movies in that trilogy had JJ in them, but he was greatly reduced. Greatly. I don't think the plot would have changed with his absence.

[Dragonslayer]

As much as I cringe every time Jar Jar appears on screen, in a way this guy does close a circle in the Star Wars series. The saga starts with this annoying character and closes with the (almost) equally annoying Ewoks.
In a better world, there would be no JJ/Ewoks in Star Wars.

[LilNewbie]

He could have been used as a plot device to let the Jedi into the Gungan city on their initial meeting and then disappeared for the rest of the 3 movies. His character proves that even CGI can overact. :D

[django]

remember when anakin gets in the star fighter while they are saving padme.the first ship that flys out of the hanger that gets shot down it should have landed on jar jar.

[monkeyfish]

He should have not been saved by Qui Gon and instead blasted to smithereens on screen to improve the quality of Episode I.
P.S. Thanks Pattar007 for using whaty my sigline says as a title for this thread.

[Chimpy]

He should have gotten ran over by a pod racer.

[countblah]

his tongue got run over by a podracer...

Disassembled.

No Disassemble Johnny-5. Johnny 5 is alive!

Nice work on the short circuit reference.

How was 1986 for you? Give my regards to Steven Guttenberg.

I do have to admit that I found it appropriate that the unwittingly enabled Palpatine to assume power by introducing the vote to the Senate. This unleashing of evil through ignorance justified my hatred of the character.

Meesa think Jar Jar is bomb-bad!

Dee-Toe, Meesa agreeses!


Here's a thought, since they have national talk like a Pirate day, they should have a national talk like Jar-Jar day, :D

[markwars]

Forgive him Lord. He's knows not what he does.

Would it have been better if there was a different kind of Jar Jar (less crazy)?

No problem. Your (and about 50 others) signature inspired me to start this thread

Jar Jar the mumbling fool, everyone hates him for being a tool.

Jar Jar is hated even by the characters in the movie. All the cool kids in SW hate him and only the rebellious compasisonate Jedi Master sees any value in him. I do not blame people for hating JJ, after all, pretty much everyone in EP1 does. He is a "pathetic lifeform." But then that is precisely the lesson and beauty of the character. He is not redeemable, he is who he is. He is not cynical or ironic, though he does have his moments: "Water in here, monsters out there, when do yousa thinking wesa in trouble!?" Te Phantom Menace masterfully weaves a story of compassion, mutual interests, betrayal and velied identity. With all the complicated characterization going on, double personalities, rebellious masters, disrespectful students, bigoted humans and aliens, JJ stands as the only authentic. He can hardly speak, destroys everything he touches and yet gets by in a still innocent galaxy, "before the dark times, before the Empire." When the Dark side begins to rise, he is embroiled and used in its plot. Innocence begins to fade and the sinister truth begins to emerge.

Qui-Gon sees all this and against all counsel. brings him along, following his stout heart telling him that life is worth sacrificing for, even the life of an idiotic Gungan. How sad it was to see JJ energy and joy for life disspear behind the veil of a serious senator, innocence ripped apart and destroyed by death and betrayal. Perhaps things would have been different for him had more of his peers believed in him, "Senator Binks! I'm sure you have much to do!(Amidala, EP2)." Perhaps a little respect and love for the fool, as well as some patience in teaching him what he needed to now, would have foiled Palpatine's plans for a while.

JJ is not meant to be loved by those who live on the surface of thought, but by those who look beyond and embrace life in all its forms.

Oh, and JJ rocks!

[ninthdoc]

Is not DEATH the final form of LIFE? I would embrace a dead JarJar. I would have to to bury him.

I can't argue cynicism. At least you're funny.

But I guess if I had to answer your question, no, life is not death. Death is the end of life, then comes the afterlife. Saying death is life is like saying the 0 is the same as the negative numbers. I see it more like life is the negative numbers, then comes 0, or death, and afterlife is the positive numbers. Who'da thunk it? JJ sparking phylosophical arguments about the meaning of life and death.

Now, you do get to see a dead JJ in AOTC and ROTS. Isn't JJ dead when he is not the lovable mumbling fool anymore? When he is replaced by a serious, albeit naive, senator?

[CupidsArt]

He should have become a Jedi, Jarwalker-Kenobiwan.

"Master Jar Jar" does have a nice ring to it huh?

[KeeperOfPeace]

I never have understanded why people say Jar Jar was terrible. I did not mind him at all in any of his parts.

I know I should probably type more to support my claim for this, but I am tired. Sleepy time it is!

I see your point by way of comparison or JJ do Doby, however, there are some significant differences. First and foremost, HP was a story that began at its actual beginning and has fostered the love of children who are growing up with it. Star Wars started in the middle and forgot that its original fan base would be in their late 20s when Episode 1 came out. Essentially, we were not allowed to "grow" with it. Lucas basically told us, "Sorry, you've outgrown this. Now if you'd like to watch it, kindly remove your brain and watch to your heart's content." I understand some younger users here having a love of JarJar, I really don't get it in the older users.

People bash the Ewoks. I've always bought what Lucas said about wanting primitives to take down the tech-savvy Empire. He said that he originally envisioned Wookies, but that he decided they were too evolved (Chewie flies a starship for crying out loud). I understand that JarJar is appealing to kids, but Lucas should not have alienated his adult fanbase in the process of appealing to kids. We already had comic relief, their names were C3-PO and R2-D2. An excellent example of remaining true to your target audience and embracing the maturity of your loyal fanbase can be viewed weekly on the Sci Fi Channel on a little show called Dr Who. The new version is appealing to kids, on the level of the original and higher all at the same time. Further, it does not even expect us to leave our brains at home as much as the original version did.

Lucas had an opportunity to really impress and failed miserably. I will admit that I walked out of Episode 3 and thought of all my favorite scenes w/DV from the original trilogy and saw them in an entirely new light, now that I know DV's back story. That is the one truly great thing I can say about Episodes 1-3. :soapbox:

It isn't hard to have the heart of a child. If you can love ewoks, I guess you can love JJ.
