Do you like him or not? I actually like him, but I've heard that many don't. I'll put a poll up in a second.

If that happens, Ep III will make megabucks as people go to see it again and again and again just to see that.

Seriously, though, in Ep II everybody was happy there was so little of Jar-Jar. But did you notice that, not only was there less of him, but what there was of him was toned down considerably? Most of us had that instinctive, gut-wrenching reaction of utter revulsion when he first appeared on screen in Ep II, but that was because we remembered Ep I. If I had never seen Ep I, I don't think I would have found him the least bit annoying in Ep II.

After Ep I came out, I e-mailed a friend telling him what I'd like to see at the beginning of Ep II: Jar-Jar has one of his zany accidents, only this time it's much more serious, and he actually cuts of Anakin's hand, thus explaining the cybernetic hand on Darth Vader. Anakin is so furious that this is what pushes him over to the Dark Side, and he kills Jar-Jar.

Or maybe this: New footage to be added to Episode IV--In the scene where Vader interrogates Leia, he decides at the last moment that even the torture robot is not cruel enough and locks her in a cell with Jar-Jar, whom he has kept prisoner all these years.

Because I cling to the hope that Lucas isn't going to royally screw everything up. I like the prequels but they're not great and they're nowhere near the standards of the original trilogy. The fact that in order for Lucas to have comedy in the Phantom Menace by having Jar Jar step in shit proves what kind of comedy he was sticking in. I want to see jar jar decapitated or just completely crushed by a walker. Just like that ewok, only repeatedly.

The fact is plo koon that he did not need to be such a bumbling idiotic comic relief cgi character to help the jedi out.

Ewok's have always been a pain in the a** for me. Is it very realistic those little teddybears can stand on a log and throw stones at the stormtroopers, thereby killing them, without the stormies blasting them away? I doubt so.

Jar Jar's "humor" is too sought (sp) to me, he's trying to be funny, which in my opinion makes him very un-funny.

I didn't like Ewoks. They smacked of something the marketing department put into the story. This is even more true when you consider that Lucas' original vision was supposedly that the final battle was to take place on the Wookie planet. That would have been way cooler anyway, since the Wookies fighting the Imperials would have been a lot more plausible. It wouldn't have taken away the cute-and-cuddly factor either, since Wookies can be teddy-bear-like and badasses at the same time.

Jar Jar...Oh, Jar Jar. Writing Jar Jar into the Star Wars legend is like writing Cartman from South Park into the New Testament. It's just not done.

Now in Episode II I gotta give Lucas this: Everyone was happy that there was a lot less of Jar Jar, but more than that, what there was of Jar Jar was toned down a lot. In Ep II he was a character rather than a charicature. If he had been like that in Ep I I wouldn't really have minded him.

The idea of a clown character for comic relief really diminishes the movies. Consider this: Chewie could have been played entirely for laughs in the original movies. He was a much better character because he wasn't. He still had some really funny moments, like scaring the bejeezus out of the little robot on the Death Star, but it was all in character and fit within the story line.

In fact, the whole idea of "comic relief" really diminishes a story. Even a serious story can have funny things in it, like Star Wars did, but when the writers say, "Let's throw in a comic relief scene here" it really doesn't fit. Funny things that people do or say should be in character and advance the story line. Like most of Threepios plot in Ep II--the whole head-switching thing could have/should have been edited out. In fact, a lot of Ep II should have been left on the cutting-room floor, and it would have been a much better movie (I liked it anyway, just not as much as the originals). Anything that didn't advance the story line should have been cut.

The Gungans are more annoying than ewoks. At least you couldn't tell what the ewoks were trying to say and they looked funny poking spears.
