The dumbest thing about them for me was that their Trade Federation masters had
to appear via holo-radio (or whatever) to give them orders. Duh!
And the roger-roger guff was silly, but I actually thought it was a fairly good
way of throwing in kiddie-bones without detracting from the movie much. I
agree that Jar-Jar detracted much more.

I'm surprised that no one complained about him being a Jesus take-off.

I've managed to gripe about TPM quite a bit in this thread, but there is
something that I think they did so well that it was clearly a masterpiece of
the craft. I am talking about the costuming. I liked the Naboo fighters and
stuff, as a counterpoint to the "normal" style for the universe, but what I
though was really boss, were their costumes. I got a real feeling of royalty
from the princess and handmaidens, to the guards and pilots.
