I have to agree with Eric. The character was different enough so that not
everyone in the universe seemed or talked the same, but apparently like most of
the characters in the film I have no great love for Jar-Jar.
I occasionally found it difficult, if not impossible, to understand his
dialogue, as his accent was often affected to the point of unintelligibility.
I think the Jar-Jar character would have sounded much better with a
lower-pitched voice.
The trade federation toadies also suffered from unintelligibility, but not as
much. I understand these are not supposed to be "English" speaking characters,
but the audience here in America is, and if we can't readily understand them,
then either redub the voiceovers or use subtitles.
It is also quite likely the theatre in which I saw the movie twice(1) suffers
from an inferior sound system, but I thought all that was supposed to be taken
care of.

when replying, meesa gonna cuddout da spamcake.
(1) Much of the reason I went the second time was to try and understand more of
the lines I couldn't make out before.(2)
(2) I even sat in a different place in the theatre thinking that I might be in
a "dead spot".(3)
(3) I might go again just to make sure ;-)
