Will Jar Jar show up in the Clone Wars series?

Then am I going to have to associate all of the Republic and Rebels with "White" and thus winners and more powerful and whateverthecrud you can think of? Heck no!

This is when people goes way too far into a film to pick on things, I can get hundreds of examples if you want. But seriously, are we going to turn our favourite saga into a film and racial debates? What you're trying to do is find seeds from a banana.

I don't like Jar Jar, but I'm not that desperate to make him related to racial issues, I don't like half of the EU, but I'm not going to nit pick about them.

Sorry if anyone is very sensitive about these topics - that they're discussed here, sorry. But I just have to voice it out

 

Well then here are some good theories for you.

Darth Vader is evil and he wears black armor. Lucas must be implying that Blacks are evil.

Why is the Emperor white? And he rules over the galaxy? This shows that Lucas supports white supremacy and believes whites should rule.

Why did Mace Windu die? Why did Lucas kill of the only black character in the PT? He must be a racist.

Why are most of the main characters in the whole Star Wars Saga human? Is Lucas preferring a species? He must be a speciest.

There are more Male main characters then there are females. Lucas must be a sexist, there has to be an even amount of both groups.

Why are about all the human Jedi white? I have not seen a single Asian (even though Asia does not exist in the Star Wars Galaxy) Jedi at ALL. That makes George Racist. He MUST cater to Minorities.
/sarcasm

Seriously dude dont be so PC.

African Americans are inclined to read racial connections into things and will read racial connections into things no matter how harmless. They're the same morons who critiqued ANH for not having any black characters causing the liberal-inclined Lucas to overreact and add a token black character to the cast in Empire. It also no doubt caused him to cast several black actors in key parts of the PT. No doubt the accusations by the special interest groups nearly gave him a coronary when they jumped all over Jar Jar. All that affirmative action crap for nothing.

What makes it worse is that anybody with any intelligence of knowledge of film would realize that Lucas plagirized-without exception-all of Jar Jar's antics from old Buster Keeton movies. Watch any of those movies and there will be Jar Jar in full flesh and blood form. And lawdy, lawdy, lawdy... Keeton's a white man! There goes all that nonsense about Lucas and Jar Jar being a racist.

If you want to attack anybody on racial grounds then I say attack Spike Lee. That racist little midget has made a career out of racially stereotyping Italians and Jews negatively. His movies are about nothing but the demonization of the white man and self-aggrandization of the white man.

I spit on any critiques of Jar Jar while the racist Lee runs around unchallenged making racist movies and racist remarks. Look at his racist rants against Clint Eastwood! And then when Eastwood was like "Shut up" he was like "We don't work in the cotton fields no mo', honkey!" That's racist! That's a racist remark! But he's allowed to get away with it by playing the race card and working all the stupid white liberals into a guilty froth. And what's more....

Geez... Sorry to rant... I just hate reading this sort of stupidity and I guess I won't give a free pass to anybody. Sorry. I'm not the welfare office.

 

"Prequel_Dreamer" I agree with you 100%

Well said! I cant stand spike lee and how people like him can get away with saying pretty much anything no matter how outrageous and as for jar-jar the WHOLE purpose of his character and the gungans was to help show a very none racist message by showing how the naboo and the gungans need to get along and learn to be compatible in order to survive becouse of how everything forms a "symbiont circle" thats another reason medicloreans were introduced becouse while being a different thing from the force (the thing that the force speaks to you through) people would not know of the force without them, the force and medicloreans need to be compatible to work. Its all part of the "balance" of the force and brings new deeper meaning to the term "balance of the force".

That was the whole moral and theme to TPM witch everyone totally didnt understand at all and took the exact wrong way. Its a shame too becouse its a really great theme, TPM was all about "innocence". The innocence of anakin, the innocence of the gungans, how the republic began innocent, the beginning of the saga and it was very important to show this becouse of how dark the story would get in the next movies and how corrupted everything would get. When you just think about it like this it works so well and is such a good idea to show off the first star wars movie this way. But just becouse it is flawed by jar-jar taking up too much screen time and being too annoying than he should have been should we really let this ruin the movie for us??? I think not. I just wish fans back in 1999 could have seen it this way a little bit more becouse they DID overreact to an extent.


Now the only valid problem with jar-jar was that the other side of his character was to be the comic relief of the movie but what went wrong was the jokes were too overdone and came off as annoying and distracted from the movie, if they were to simply tone him down a little bit than his character would be FINE in that movie. But that is the only problem with jar-jar. His character would actually be an asset to TPM if it was toned down a lot but it didnt happen that way. If people want to say hes annoying and distracting than thats fine becouse he was, but dont try to turn it into anything ridiculous.

 

What a disturbing and in places downright racist discussion. For the record, Lando is one of the best things about the excellent TESB, just like Mace is one of the best things about the PT. If these characters are the result of some sort of enforced tokenism on Lucas' part, well thank the Maker. Apparently the absence of non-whites in ANH was a closely structured statement about the skin-colour distribution of the GFFA, a vision horribly undermined by Lucas being forced to include (shudder) blacks in later movies. I assume the same goes for the Alliance being all-human, and only having one type of capital ship at its disposal, and having their base on Yavin. It's such a shame that Lucas spoilt his vision by including Mon Cals and Sullustans and Home One and Hoth and blacks and all that unnecessary and objectionable diversity in his later films. (For the sake of clarity, I should note that the above is a rather poor attempt at sarcasm). Grow up, please.

It's absurd to see Jar Jar ( an orange space frog) as a black caricature, absurd to see Watto (a flying blue elephant) as a Jew, absurd to see Jabba (corpulent mob boss) as an Italian-American, absurd to see Neimoidans as Japanese, absurd to see Imperials as English. As usual these characters are archetypes of early cinema that George is placing in his serial, interpreted in his SF framework. Seeing them as caricatures of various races misses the point entirely - George has filled the roles normally occupied with such caricatures with inoffensive fictional aliens. Seeing them as racist really is a case of bringing those preconceptions with you.

However, that doesn't mean that people don't have a right to be sensitive about the racist abuses of cinema in the past and present, particularly in the light of what I'm reading in the posts above me. It says a lot about George and LFL that they didn't see the potential for offense, particularly when TPM is regularly castigated for being a cynical money-making exercise.

I'm not even going to attempt to tackle the racist statements that don't relate in any way to Star Wars, because I imagine that's a moderator's job.

 

Hasn't a clip of Jar Jar already been shown on the intertubes?

 

I'm shocked the moderators let some posters go on such ignorant and racist tirades like those above. They should be ashamed of their bigoted selves.

 

I hope that there is a three episode story arc of Naboo being taken over by sepretists again and Jar Jar goes to help by becoming a General in the Clone army.

 

Let's get some good Jar Jar episodes. And maybe some Captain Tarples and Boss Nass!

 

Ah, heck no.
Please no.

 

C'mon lets show some love for the Gungans.

 

How about no?
