Better idea: Jar Jar is revealed as a sith that employed obfuscating stupidity while manipulating events, a fan theory with a lot of good points.

Actually, I wanna add this. If I was in charge of doing Jar Jar Binks’ story, I would have made him more trageic: He would have been framed for something he didn’t do, leading to his banishment from Gungan City, but his pilgrimage with the Jedi, plus his standing up towards the Droid army would have his banishment revoked. Only during the War against the Droid Army, a close friend of his betrays him, forcing Jar Jar to slay him in battle. And in the end, he mourns his friend’s death, forgiving him for his betrayal.
I didn’t hate Jar-Jar either. Granted I saw the first movie (prequel) when it first came out in theater so I was what, maybe seven or eight years old?
Speaking of Scooby Doo here, I didn’t hate Scrappy ever that I recall. Not even after seeing that live actor movie did I hate him though I didn’t enjoy the live actor movie very much if at all.
I never found Jar-Jar annoying. I mean, I guess since I’ve put up with so many stupid and annoying people in my life I just never really found myself bothered with him.

It’s sad really. I loved General Grevious in the old, tie in cartoon show. He was awesome and had an air of confidence and power. He seemed more formal and such and I really hate what they did to him in the Clone Wars series. Yeah, they really didn’t do a good job with him in the third movie either.
Still, if I had to pick something I absolutely enjoyed, it was the actor who played Obi-won.
@Evowizard25
I don’t really hate him either. I agree the hatred over him is overblown, and same goes for the hatred over the prequel trilogy overall.
My only gripe with it honestly was “Episode 3” felt like they tried to “hurry up” all the events, and kill off the unimportant characters to quickly tie into the events of Episode 4. (The first movie.)
I kinda liked General Grievious though, even if he was offed quite quickly/easily.
@SaburoDaimando
The fact they went with Hayden Christensen over any actor with a pulse is also a travesty. I don’t think Lanter was even acting when they cast TPM, though.
@Evowizard25
Anakin (both as a kid and as a teenager) was a LOT more annoying than Jar Jar. But the most annoying thing about the prequels was George Lucas himself. What happens when you surround yourself with yes man and can get no honest feedback; everyone just says “splunge.”
You know, I don’t hate Jar Jar. I don’t and I never did. Oh yes, he isn’t a perfect character, but his flaw is that he wasn’t written as a character who’s funny, moreso it was funny in the form of a character. While the humor was forced at times and awkward, I really never despised him. I found him enjoyable to a point and I’ve seen plenty of bad movies with terrible comedy reliefs. At least he had something to him.
I kind of think the hatred is a little overblown, but that’s just me.
WHAT IM SAYINGGGGGGGGG
thanks
Me too. I support both!

Gonna hate, haters will.
it’s good to find someone that agrees. the prequels gave me my favorite Star Wars villain General Grievous
Great. As you are mentioning General Grievous, I’m suddenly hearing his voice rapping to NWA’s “Fuck the Police.”

No argument there.
But then again, Lanter was a much better Anakin Skywalker in the Clone Wars.
The fact they went with Hayden Christensen over any actor with a pulse is also a travesty. I don’t think Lanter was even acting when they cast TPM, though.
The fact that they went with Hayden Christensen over Matt Lanter in the latter two movies is a traversity.
