Saga Has time changed your opinion of Jar-Jar Binks?

Didn't care about him one way or another initially, now I like him. Not all Star Wars elements have to be the same, and I think there's definitely room for goofy elements.

 

No. Worst character in the entire SW universe.

 

NO.

 

Jar-Jar WHO?

Either I'm suffering from cognitive dissonance or have applied Damnatio Memoriae, but I wouldn't exclude the possibility that's a combination of both, perhaps.

 

My opinion has actually changed for the worse. I was 22 when I saw the Phantom Menace and I didn't mind Jar Jar at first. I actually found some his the scenes a little bit funny. But the more I watched the movie, the more I started to dislike him. Now as I am older and more mature I practically cringe at the thought of him.

So yes, my opinion of him has changed. The funny thing is, I love pretty much everything else about the Phantom Menace and I can get past his scenes because the rest of the movie is so good.

 

I've always oddly related to Jar Jar. He's shown as the one who doesn't fit in, something I can definitely identify with. I've always felt like I don't fit in at school, and Jar Jar shows that even a misfit can do good.

 

Nope. Thought he was hilarious back then and he still amuses me now. Never understood the hate.

 

He's probably the reason Disney bought Lucasfilm. Perhaps we should be grateful?

 

That's not true though.

 

He planned to do the story for the sequel trilogy and direct Episode VII, leaving the remaining two for other directors while he supervised/produce them. Similar to what happened in the OT.

 

Because the whole thing would take a lot of time from his life (just like the previous films did), and his daughter became a priority and he wanted to raise her. He decided to sell the company because it was an inevitability if he wasn't planning to be hands-on anymore.

 

It sort of seems natural that as we grow older and more sentimental, there would be a natural warming of most any character; particularly when there was such a long hiatus after the prequels when, let's face it, at some point we would have taken "Star Wars: An Ewoks & Gungans Story", as long as there was a random lightsaber or Star Destroyer thrown in.

I take Star Wars a lot less seriously in some ways, more seriously in others. But you pick your battles, eh. There's some stuff with main characters which bugs me a lot more in terms of compromising the integrity of the story (or at least, my perspective of the story).

 

Episode 8 will change everything when Snoke is revealed to be Jar Jar.

You'll look back at the prequels in a way like you see Yoda before he revealed himself to Luke. Playful at first then you find out he's uber powerful.

Jar Jar, the most powerful force user in the history of everything.

 

I always thought he was funny, but at times over the top, and given entirely too much screen time in The Phantom Menace. I never hated him though. I've always kind of leaned more on the side of being a Jar Jar apologist.

In truth, Boss Nass was the Gungan that annoyed me the most, because he always spoke so slowly and just caused every scene he was in to drag.

 

The worst I ever thought of him was silly. Never even thought of him as annoying, really. He's fine.

 

Heh. True. That said, Jar Jar and Goofy are just such a a nice fit. Corporations love a good synergy.

My answer to the thread topic is no.

 

I didn't have much of an opinion on him when I first saw TPM. Now, I find him half amusing, half aggravating.

 

I like him, he has his moments. I prefer Gungans to Ewoks.

 

I'm mainly neutral towards him. Liked him as a little kid, was more frustrated with him as I became a teenager, but I've mellowed down to a neutral in my 20's.
