Ughhh.... Jar Jar Binks is almost as ugly as Judy....

For one horrifying moment, I thought someone had created a JarJar Binks Poser figure .....

yeah mathman... horrifying, horrifying... i mean... awesome job... but... please excuse me while i go find the guy who created the original for SW so i can stab him in the eye :/ Drac

There is a Jar Jar Binks poser figure out there...

twitch ;-)

Actually there are 2 Jar Jars out there. I have 2 different Poser models of that loveable creature :o) Why is it that people don't like Jar-Jar Binks? He's funny AND cute!

I liked him a lot!

I'd like him a lot better simmered in a stew! If the head is flayed carefully, one might even get a nice bowling-bowl carrier out of it. Lucas killed his own franchise in an effort to sell toys (his contracts gave him massive chunks of Hasbro and one of the other biggies). I can't think of any other logical reason to include gratingly stupid and/or cute critters in a space opera. Mind you, turning a wonderfully-envisioned nine episode grand adventure and struggle for human freedom into a sodden and ugly 6-feature biopic of an angry twerp would have destroyed the franchise anyway... but walking toys just rub the salt deeper into the wound.

Hehehe....JJB seems to really polarize people, doesn't he ? ..... you either love him or hate him. (... I'm definitely the latter)

A friend of mine really likes JJB. So much so that he got a Weimeraner (sp?) puppy that looks EXACTLY like the dog version of Jarjar. I told him that the best thing about Episode III will be when Palpatine goes back to Naboo with a prototype Death Star and holds a giant JarJarBeQue.

Oh my this is so good, I it love. Sharen

I mean, it's all JJB's fault, you know. Everything. The death star, the emperor, Vader. It's all JJB's fault. Who was it that got up in the senate and told everyone to give the 'emperor' unlimited powers and authority? Hmmm? It's his fault.

I seem to remember the last time he was mentioned, that some pics using various B&D 'instrument's were in order..;) Dis clona wara started has..;)

ernyoka1 and sparrowheart, maybe we should form a Gungan Anti-defamation League?! I thought Jar-Jar was hilarious :D

Carolly: Was it ever really a nonology? Lucas came out with all that fairly soon after release, but in his book of the first film Vader and Tarkin are mocking the Emperor ("As the Emperor wills" sarkily), the intro suggests that the Emperor is not so much dark-side personified as hopelessly isolated and out of touch, and Kenobi tells Luke his father is dead, killed by Darth Vader, with an editorial comment implying this is literal truth. OK, the book was probably ghost written but it still makes me suspect the saga business was invented after the audience figures were in.

Well, ya gotta figure that Lucas didn't even know if he was going to find backing to film all of the first movie! I've read that, before getting picked up by 20th Century Fox, Lucas shopped his early footage around to various studios trying to get his movie made - one studio told him they'd love to use his ideas - for a Saturday Morning kid's show - I think it was going to be a sequel to Space Academy and Jason of Star Command.

...and nobody's even mentioned the Stepin Fetchit issue yet... (...xoconostle ducks and covers and runs away...)

Space Academy and Jason of Star Command! oh my gewd I'm having flashbacks! Even Patemine is annoyed at JarJar, she shuts him up and tells him he must leave and he does. Heck EVEN HIS OWN PEOPLE threw him OUT! That's when he's 'discovered' walking around. I don't mind Gungan's. The old warrior with the white mustache and the leader were pretty cool. Jar Jar is just a waste of Gungan hide.

Well, We were a group of people that went to see the Star Wars movie (Phantom Menace) When it hit cinemas here. When the movie was over, all but me and my hubby (at least from our group) were disgusted over Jar Jar. Hubby and I were LOAO. OK We went to see it with the local Star TREK club, so naturally... we're partial. Hubby is a Star Wars peep though and he liked Jar Jar too :o) Patricia I'm all for that Anti defamation fraction!

I'm so glad I posted to this thread...imagine my excitement (relief?) at finding 2 other adult human beings on earth who get a huge kick out of JarJar! I was starting to worry that my hubby was right and I WAS the only human being over 6 yrs. of age who liked him....(whew!) ;)

Heh no, Patricia, my daughters at 7 and 12 loves him too :o) And think about it... Look how many people actually use "mesa....", especially in chat. GET OUT OF THE CLOSETS, ALL YOU UNDERCOVER JAR JAR FANS!!

hahaha. okay, so I'm watching EP II for some ref materials. looking at the senators room scene when JarJar is in the scene, I cringe internally but keep looking at the props and room. Suddenly my TV flipps out and the DVD shuts off then the TV channel flips and Miss Cleo (the jamecan fortune teller woman) "oh no child, you need to get rid of him he's no good for you, listen to miss cleo!" I was laughing SOOOOO hard. Turned out that my dog was rolling around on the bed and rolled over on the remote and fliped the TV on. Gewd it was funny. okay I'm done bashing JarJar. I just thought it was funny, this happened after this thread started and man I was in tears, just had to share.

LOL I admit it could indeed be enterpreted as an omen :o)

heyas; i don't see what's so all-fired awful about him. he's a goof, but that's no crime. he's the comedic relief. you dont see people hating c-3po because he was a comedic relief goof in the first 3 movies. (er, middle 3 movies, whichever.) i just don't get it.

So true, bloodsong. Oh and C3PO has always been my fav. Star Trek character. Just as Data is my favourite Star TREK character :o)

But he's not just a goof, he's a dangerous one. He gets made a general in the attack on Naboo and nearly loses the battle - only the flying skills of Manikin Skywalker saved the day. Then he gets made an acting Senator while Padme is off gallivanting around the galaxy and he introduces THE legislation that solidifies Palpatine's power. Once long ago, I had a character in a Star Wars roleplaying game who was tortured by the fact that he'd turned over a prototype TIE fighter to Palpatine's people. Jar Jar's crime was much worse than that.

When I saw the difference between the way that Lucas portrayed JarJar in the first of the two movies he's been in and the second, I thought it was pretty obvious that George was responding to the seemingly universal dislike of the character--changing him from a big goof to an actively negative character. And it pissed me off... Having him be a bad general was totally in character for the JarJar of the first film. (was I the only one who cringed when he was given so much responsibility?!) But having him represent his planet after having proved decisively that he just wasn't up to the job, was either a stupid writing decision or a deliberate attempt to placate the very vocal fans who hated him by having him be the one who fails at a crucial moment. IMHO, George Lucas is a great myth-maker, but a 'real' writer should have veto power over his scripts.....

I'd be really really curious to get inside George Lucas' head and find out what the ORIGINAL thoughts for movies 1-3 were going to be, back in the heady days when there were lines around the block for Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. And movies 7-9 too.
