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 the movie...I found it
agrivating that he came in so many sets when there were other characters I
would have rather seen.
HOWEVER,
I like the torso and legs....I simply added yellow hands and Ninja theme
heads. I made 1 JarJar torso a swordsmith apprentice. I use about a dozen
of them as ltter barers and galley slaves; a few more as generic Asian style
peasants...
The green torso in the Gungan patrol is really cool...I have turned several
into Green Samurai and green Ninjas...
Essentially my opinion is becoming more positive towards the torsos, but
still nuetral towards the head...I was happy to see a true alien
representation in Lego and I hope this bodes well for future head variation,
like the aforementioned Tolkien creatures...
I would live to see a Walrus man or Hammerhead in a SW Cantina scene...maybe
a greedo?
