	Well, since AOTC had come out on DVD, I hadn't been back to watch TPM for a long time. So I decided, out of boredom (but originally in 99 i was blown away by this movie) that I would watch it to see if it had grown on me anymore. It entirely had. Back in 99 I found Jar Jar kind of annoying, then I just hated him. but now...after watching it 2 years later I have to say, Jar Jar honestly made me laugh. Especially the following scene. Qui-Gon: Relax, we're not in trouble yet. Jar Jar: What yet? Monsters out dare, leakin in here. All sinkin' and no power? WHENA yousa TINKIN wesa in trouble? your thoughts please... -----signature----- lightsaver: a fruity hard laser sword candy. also in gummi and tropical flavors.

	Just like TPM, the feeling has gone from love to hate to love to hate and finally back to love. Most people I talk to can't even watch the film let alone Jar-Jar's screentime. He's pretty good now that I'm looking back on the film. -----signature----- Host of CBC (Chapter by Chapter) for PT, CT and SFF forums and Box Office Game ROTS-DS Chapter 3: Seeds of Rebellion FOTR Chapter 29: Bilbo's Gifts TSS Chapter 17: Facts and Feathers (8/24/07)

	I never hated him in TPM and thought he was great, but does anyone think he sticks out like a sore thumb in AOTC? -----signature----- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 13 14

	I never had a problem with Jar Jar. I'm not passionate about him, but I always liked him. I sympathize with him, to a degree. All he wanted to do is help people, but he always got dealt the raw hand in the process. -----signature----- Part of the Darth Vader Fanclub. Because good is dumb.

	From the first time he uttered "ex-squeeze-me" I really had a hard time watching TPM. Plus, Lucas gave him SO MUCH screentime it was as if Lucas was constantly thinking, "Hmm, the audience is going to be wondering what Jar Jar is doing now..." The radical dropoff in screentime in AOTC was much appreciated but, to me, only confirms that his omnipresence in TPM was a horribly misguided decision. I will always hate Jar Jar on some level, but I can basically tune him out now in TPM...and focus on Jake Lloyd's shortcomings. In retrospect, that casting decision had a bigger negative impact on the movie overall. At least Jar Jar gave a performance. The lowpoint in TPM may be when young Anakin is unable to even fold his arms smoothly.

	Give Jake Lloyd a break, he is a kid! How many Haley Joel Osmonds are there out there? As for Jar Jar, he has never been funny to me, and has way too much screen time in the first hour of the movie. If his humor was integrated in the story, than at least he would be worth something, but it is utter comic relief that went wrong. I love Lucas, and I still will watch TPM, and all the movies, countless times in my life, but he miscalculated Jar Jar Binks appeal big time.

	I think Haley Joel Osment stinks. I'm sick of people holding him up as the greatest child actor ever. He's awful. Jake wasn't brilliant or anything, but he got the job done. On-topic: I never hated Jar Jar. I think the Jar Jar hate was blown way out of proportion. -----signature----- A bona fide conservative exposes Ann Coulter as the liar, bigot, extremist, and hatemonger that she is: http://www.bradblog.com/archives/00001939.htm Protect America...impeach Bush.

	Jake did get the job done..but was I the only one who always has to fast forward through the auditions of young anakin on the 2nd TPM disc? on topic: i will agree that jar jar is used far too much, and that george should've toned down his role. but i will also agree that the hate of him was blown too far out of proportion, even if i'm slightly contradicting myself. -----signature----- lightsaver: a fruity hard laser sword candy. also in gummi and tropical flavors.
