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. By their background they are misunderstood and mistrusted by men,
they are seldom encountered. They are something of a myth. Majisto, the
wizard is one of the few who have ever encountered them, they taught him the
secret of Dragon thought-speak that allows him to communicate with the
Dragons. The Black Witch stole this knowledge from the mind of the elder to
pervert and control the Dragons.
I don't hate the LEGO Jar-Jar, I need more of them!
P.S. Star Wars is fantasy, if you are buying Star Wars for anything other
than parts then you like fantasy. In that context a fantasy character like
Jar Jar is just perfect. Only problem I have with Jar Jar is Lucas' vision of
Gungans being rather goofy. Humor is fine, but silly is just silly.
