Proto_Spark 01/12/21 10:23:42 PM #4:	He's kind of just the face of the "Prequel Trilogy" and everything bad about it, so he gets all the hate that should be spread more evenly across the prequels as a whole. Like, Lucas realized Jar Jar wasn't popular, and basically removed him from the next two movies. That's a plus as far as I'm concerned. <cite>Proto_Spark posted [p:949439275] in C/D: Jar J...

FortuneCookie 01/12/21 10:25:46 PM #8:	Revnir posted... There are theories that he was actually controlling everything from behind the scenes It sounds crazy at first, but when you look at the evidence... it makes sense. If Jar Jar Binks were revealed to be the grand Sith Lord controlling the emperor and others all along, I think 20 to 30 percent of Star Wars fans would be elated -- so long as he receives the cathartic death they'd hoped for. The rest, at least upon seeing it, would realize just how bad an idea it is to have the master of puppets pretend to be cowardly comic foil who comments on how stinky animal farts are. (That, and how bad a "power behind the throne" angle would be for Star Wars in general.) <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:949439340] in C/D: Jar J...
