"Jar Jar? He makes the Ewoks look like Shaft!"

Ok, Lucas has been up all night sweating, and at the 11th hour decides enough is enough, so calls up his loyal producer at 5am:

"Rick! Why didn't you tell me?! How come no one had the nerve 6 years ago to put me straight?! Jar Jar! No! Aaaargh! We gotta kill him off! It's not too late! It can make the final cut, or DVD!"

So how would YOU do it?

My preferences...

1. Anakin swipes his head off, during his purge of the Jedi, or joyously stabs him where lightsabres don't shine

2. Chewie rips him to shreds, as his grand entrance to the saga

3. He gets trampled to death by a stampede of rampaging Ewoks

4. Force lightening gradually tortures him over the course of the film, with a 24-style split screen keeping us up to speed on his agony over 2 hours

5. Greedo blasts him, as an apology for retrospectively shooting first in the next/first film

Strilo edit: Poor Jar Jar does not deserve this...

 

Oh yeah, the quote in the subject box is Simon Pegg in 'Spaced' (Channel 4, UK)

Soooo true...

 

Spaced is brilliant isn't it. One of the best comedies ever. Even if it does bash the prequals.

 

My favourite Star Wars reference is...

Daisy - "So how are you?"

Tim - "I've had a few things to work through"

D - "With Sarah?"

T - "No, with George Lucas"

(cut to Jedi-aping scene where Tim is setting fire to his SW stuff, a la Vader's funeral)

D - "Phantom Menace was over a year ago, Tim!"

T - "It's been 18 months! And it STILL hurts!"



Phantom Menace: hugely disappointing. Fact

 

I love it. When Tim is yelling at the little kid in the store for wanting a Jar Jar doll.

Tim: Now I don't care if you've saved up all these 50 ps, now take your money and get out!!!!!

(Kids runs out crying)

Tim: What a prick!

 

Simon Pegg wrote a brilliant article for SFX magazine a few years ago, just before AOTC...

...destroying PM and the Special Editions of the OT.

Because he loves Star Wars.

If you grew up with the OT, like Simon, you can only enjoy the new films by looking at them as a seperate entity.

 

I, on the other hand, love the PT and special editions, but also think Pegg is hillarious.
