Hmm, there must be an established SW fan-scale or geek-code out there -- ?
That could be a lot of fun -- take a questionnaire and find out where you fit
on the SW purity test or whatever.  Anyway, I'd put you at about 8/10, give
or take a half.


Anyway, point is, I am a big SW fan and I don't think Jar Jar is obnoxious,
nor do I find any humour in directing unpleasantness to him.  He's not my
favorite character, to be sure, but I got tired of seeing people complain
about him and direct hate at him after about the 5,000th time I saw it.

So, you don't like Jar Jar, and that's fine, but don't say that because
you're a "big Star Wars fan" that it naturally follows that you loathe
Jar Jar and find humour in directing unpleasantness at him, because it
doesn't.

I hope I didn't imply that, either -- I think there's a strong correlation,
but certainly there would be exceptions.

I really admire you for being such a big SW fan, yet not hating Jar-Jar and
not letting him get under your skin.
