OT : Episode II Trailer
Mabel, lock the door. Carl, get off the couch. Wake the kids and phone the neighbors and whip the horses.
DT and I agree on something.
Seas turn to blood, locusts descend on Los Angeles, news at 11.
Hehe, Pigs in flying saucers have been spotted over England, could this be a result of Aleck agreeing with DT!?!
Actually, I agree with DT on something as well (see DT, sometimes you say things that DO make sense!!!).
DT wrote:Jar Jar would’ve been fine if he got less screen time for his silly antics, but they practically focused on him. I also think maybe it would’ve been a good move to have him his usual self at first, but more serious in attitude when he became a general for the battle at the end.
Exactly my thoughts, it did seem that Ep:1 was a vehicle predominately aimed at young children, rather than the fans that grew up with it, and Jar Jar represents that idea.
I didn’t mind Jar Jar that much, but I prefer the legend to have a thread of seriousness, but still being fun, Jar Jar seemed slightly insulting to Star Wars.
I remember reading somewhere that some fans in Italy upon meeting George Lucas, started to make some nasty comments about Jar Jar directly to Mr Lucas.
I think Star Wars doesn’t need to go all Pokemon on us with silly cute characters, certainly the story might have been better for lacking Jar Jar, and I’m sure the kids wouldn’t have missed him.
