I don't mind Jar-Jar so much. I know that we're all supposed to hate him, but
I don't think he's any worse than, say, the Ewoks. In fact, I think he's a

Besides, I'm glad to hear so early on that he'll be back. It means there's
something that Lucas definitely has in mind for the character, which I vastly
prefer to thinking he was pure fluff.
