![]() ![]() But they forget that (A.) This is George Lucas's world, not theirs, and he can make it weird and goofy if he wants, and (B.) this is the same guy who had Imperial stormtroopers getting their rumps handed to them by tribal teddy bears and who designed the Jabba's Palace scene with that creepy frog singer with the long lips. But let's face it, it's not too far off from an Italian accent, and only a jerk would insult an actual person's accent.Īlso, people think Jar-Jar just makes things seem weird and goofy. So it's not a stretch to believe that there could really be a moron Frogger making Jedi Knights wish they could turn to the dark side.Īnd yes, I know some people thought the accent was stupid. And sadly, some people in real life are similar obnoxious and rather shallow. Does he add anything beyond comic relief and goofy hijinks? Not really. And so long as the character fulfills their role, they aren't a bad character.Įqually, Jar-Jar is no worse a character than Pumbaa or Timon. They may be a bit two-dimensional, but that's what Disney was going for. So while I wish Disney would more accurately portray their sidekicks, I cannot launch an actual complaint against their characters. They're meant to be lighthearted and upbeat. Pumbaa and Timon aren't meant to be deep and emotionally conflicted. Rage with the fury of a thousand suns! Ha ha ha ha ha!īut seriously, the only time a character is actually bad is when they don't fulfill the artist's intended purpose. And yes, I'm comparing Pumbaa and Timon to Jar-Jar Binks. Most of them, like Jar-Jar, have very little beyond their comedy routine, and usually remain awkwardly silent or altogether absent during sadder or darker scenes. While I'm already angering everyone, let's just list off most comical Disney sidekicks under this category. But he was designed to be the obnoxious comic relief, and (to my great sadness) comic relief characters rarely have much actual depth in movies. Sure, Jar-Jar may be obnoxious and rather two-dimensional in his personality. Why? Because he was meant to be obnoxious and stupid.Īs an aspiring author, I dislike when people tell an original content creator "that shouldn't be in there", because if you're making your own fantasy or sci-fi story, you have the right to make it however you like. They say he's obnoxious, stupid, and adds nothing to the story.īut I say that Jar-Jar is a good character. I'm not going to go into that, because I think all of Lucas's Star Wars movies are good and everyone has the right to have a favorite.īut one pervading thing sticks out among the dislike for the prequels, and that is Kermit the Frog. (Please don't crucify me.) I feel the prequels were given a bad rap, largely by older fans and hipsters who feel that it strayed too far from the original feel of Star Wars. I happen to be a fan of the Star Wars prequel trilogy. That's all I really have to say, thanks for listening.Okay, I know the title is sort of clickbait, but I feel like this is a rather humorous subject that needs to be addressed. I thought it would be worth mentioning that in a recent novel in the Aftermath series, Jar Jar was included, he was basically just a street performer/clown on Naboo who performed for kids.Īll the characters in prequel story's are mainly killed off because they were not involved in the story's that took place after, it still confuses me to this day as to why Jar Jar was never killed off even though he wasn't in the original trilogy as a puppet or anything. Technology has evolved a lot since 2005 so it would also be pretty cool to see a newly animated Jar Jar. ![]() He might be a little old now but it would still be cool if he made an appearance in a few scenes at least. I know this could be very unlikely but wouldn't it be cool to see the Resistance go to Naboo for something and while they are there they see Jar Jar? A lot of people hated Jar Jar from the prequels because of how annoying he was but he was intended to be a character for kids. Episode 9 is far from it's release in 2019 and we have gotten a couple of rumours saying that we might get to see planets from the prequels. ![]()
