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 blatantly pandering to the child audience, but 3-po was
walking comic relief throughout most of the entire trilogy. Just as Jar-Jar
was.
He bumbles through laser battles (on the way to the escape pod)every bit as
unbelieveably as Jar Jar destroys the droid army. Much like Jar-Jar He says
stupid things at the worst times (Like whenever Han Solo is about to do
something cool). He babbles on about things we could care less about.
They fill the same role in the films, but I submit that the reason that no one
likes Jar-Jar and everyone likes threepio is that we experienced threepio as a
child, and Jar-Jar as an adult. We were hoping that Ep.1 would be more like
the Matrix, than Return of the Jedi.
YOu have to suspend the same amount of disbelief to believe Return of THe
Jedi, as you do Episode 1. What with all of the Teddy bears with rocks and
sticks, beating up armored stormtroopers with lasers and all. Jon
Ps, why bother wearing that white stormtrooper armor if an arrow or a rock
still hurts you?

Prissy, yes, baby-talk, no. 2) Threepio was at times a valuable asset to the adventure. 3) Threepio never (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jul-00, to lugnet.castle)

| 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 (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jul-00, to lugnet.castle)
