Actually, George Lucas is a big fan of Disney's Goofy. And Jar-Jar was George's tribute, ( read BLATANT RIP-OFF!), to him. Even though Jar' is (supposed to be) a different creature altogether, with only a different paint job, and buck teeth, he frighteningly IS Goofy! Incidentally, it shouldn't be too hard to turn Zygote's Gremlin into Yoda, with only a couple of morph's, ( Hey Traveler: Hint, hint?).
