: : ...overall my biggest problem with Episode I was Jar Jar....now this is a common complaint...(IMAX had about 20 minutes cut out....mostly Jar Jar stuff, I believe....)
: : But...I can understand why he was there. Think about when "we" (25 and older) all saw the first series in the theater and on video when we were kids (or younger adults). Kids movies today are a little different today, and in order to introduce a new generation (hey, 20+ years had gone by...) to the Star Wars universe, there needed to be a character that would connect with kids beyond the way that Threepio and Artoo did with us...
: : Holy shit...what a fuckin epiphany...I *just* realized that point....I've always argued that Jar Jar was the kids character...just never saw the droids for all they were till now...d'oh!
: : oh yea....doids kick gungans asses anyday!
