I found him irritating in the first film, but I've never hated him with the passion of most Star Wars fans. He plays a key role in the second and third film. Love him or hate him he's an enduring part of the films. Maybe he'll show up Episode 7. That would be amazing.Maurice Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338165486757095191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-3836675562602764152015-08-18T13:41:38.260-04:002015-08-18T13:41:38.260-04:00On some level, I think Lucas and company must have...On some level, I think Lucas and company must have realized the character was a mistake.

He seems slapstick for no real reason other that to make little one laugh so over the top.<br />I am quite dense many thing go right over my head with all the inside jokes and innuendo. We can be funny in our own simple ways.<br />But the way he speaks, it sounds like the way bullies speak when making fun of children with speech problems.<br />Just saying<br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-326004493524901222015-08-18T10:12:49.785-04:002015-08-18T10:12:49.785-04:00We shall see.

Mostly, I think he's fine, and there are some moments with him in TPM that really make me laugh. However, I hated him in this episode.The whole "he's smarter than he looks" feels like a way of forcing us to accept Jar Jar as something he's not.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.com
