I think a simple explanation is: Threepio didn't like "adventure" while
Jar-Jar was a "buffoon" Everyone can respect someone who simply demonstrates
pacifism. (even though that was dangerous and naive at times, i.e. "surrender
is a perfectly acceptable alternative the Empire may be gracious enough t-")
Jar-Jar was basically an idiot whose bigest roll was accidentally destroying
half the droid army. Heck at least the teddy bears had a statagey other than
reveloutionary war style advance. (you get hit with a big rock wearing a
helmet and see if it doesn't hurt, trust me it does, also by the time the
imperals regrouped and started fighting as a unit (like they should) they had
already suffered too many causualties to be effective. The arrows were merely
a distraction that allowed the rebels to free themselves.)
