Good point about the brown hands.  To be honest, I don't think that TLC did such
a bad job with Jar Jar, all things considered.  It could have been worse; we
could have been offered a Jar Jar fig with that goofy grin or the pucker-face or
one with a tongue lolling about, etc, etc.  The head is quite large, but I'll
still take all of the aliens that I can get, in the hopes of one day making a
decent Cantina rendition. (Assuming/hoping that other creatures are
forthcoming.)
