Now, don't get me wrong, I think Jar-Jar was the worst thing about Ep. 1, but
I can't help but love the lego version.  I've got 12 Gungans, and I use em for
orcs and ogres.  Right now they're all tan, but I plan on making a few green,
grey, orange maybe, etc when I get around to learning how to paint and greatly
modify ABS (any pointers Craig?).  What I'm getting at is WHY does everyone
hate the lego Jar-Jar?  Granted, he only has (as of yet) 2 uses:  Jar-Jar, or
an orc.  Now, if you're not into the fantasy side of Castle, just the
historical acurateness, then I could understand why you dislike him, but what
other reason could you have?  Just wondering...

I've always wondered why everyone who hates Jar-Jar Binks seems to not mind c- 3po, who is the slightly less annoying Jar-Jar of the original trilogy. I understand that 3-po wasn't always mugging for the camera, had a few serious lines, and wasn't (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jul-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Why does it have to be two uses? Surely I can use him for a species of people related to a ancient union between Dragons and Men. In my world the Gungan minifig is used as Dragonmen, Draconians in the proper, they are peaceful, yet powerful. (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jul-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Interesting application of JarJar...I have considered integrating them into my Castle/fantasy story as benign amphibians or Sorceror's lizard stooges...due primarily to the minifig head (...) I found JarJarannoying in my first few viewings of (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jul-00, to lugnet.castle)
