Jar Jar stunk!! He stunk a lot, but....
He symbolizes all that is wrong
with this episode in the Star Wars series(please note that until I saw
Phantom I would have said "Saga" instead of Series-- too bad it had to be
demoted) The character of Jar Jar is just fine in another setting...ie a
Disney Film or a shooting gallery. He does not belong in Star Wars. The
obvious complaints have been covered regarding the scatological humor which
revolves around him by other critics on this page. Therefore I am going to
talk about his worst offense-- attracting so much attention that the movies
other flaws are minimized or ignored.
Personally I think Lucas was lucky he put the character Jar Jar in the
movie. The focus has been on Jar Jar rather than the other reasons
Phantom was unimpressive. The legacy of the other three films include:
dialogue(worth listening too), characters with motivations for their
actions, a presentation of an interesting fantasy/sci-fi universe, and a
plot which did not put people to sleep. The new film missed the boat.
As offensive as Jar Jar was I objected to the following more:
Anakin skywalker's whole flight scene above the planet naboo-- even for
Star Wars that was pretty far fetched.,
The complete lack of dialogue in the light saber duel--(made it lifeless by
comparison with the first three movie lightsaber duels.) Not only did the
duels from the first films advance the plot of the Series- usually
involving a major revelation ie "I am your Father", but usually they added
to the suspense -- Darth was particularly good there. ( yes it was
beautifully choreographed, but it lacked heart) ,
The Jedi council which blipped across the screen and was gone.,
The new and improved nature of the Force-- A CHEMICAL???????. Whatever
happened to "Life creates it and makes it grow" Whats next?? a pill to
enhance Jedi powers through extra metachlorines or whatever they were
saying.,
Generally poor dialogue and interaction between characters.,
Boring aliens -- Something I would never have thought Lucas would be guilty
of.
As a Star Wars fan I sincerely hope that Lucas goes back and figures out
what made his first films entertaining and goes back in that direction.

First of all you should go to www.fonthead.com
for killer star wars fonts.
Now to the movie, it sucked. There was nothing good about it. I've been a
starwars fan since I was six and saw it with my mom. The movies sent me to study
film in college, and now George has lost one of his biggest fans, and I imagine
many many more.
There is no aspect of this movie that was worth the price of admission. If you
would like to hear why your favorite scene sucked just send me an email, but
as you said on your web page, you loved it so I doubt you care what a true
star wars fan thinks.
Here's just a taste: I bet you liked the Quin Gone Gin :) character. Who was
he? Was he a great warrior jedi? No, no one talked about any great battles he
was in. Was he a great teacher? No, the council doubted in his abilities to
train Annie. Was he even liked by the council? No, he kept getting sent back
to the shit assignment dealing with the Japanees aliens. Was he even an able
jedi? No, he kept getting his ass kicked by some no name badguy who wasn't
important enough a character to be explained. Then he died! He must have
been a really crappy Jedi, to have not done anything with his life up to
that point and then to die when faced with his first living adversary. And
everyone who liked the crapfest we call episode I, thought he was great. Why?
The power of the other three films has blinded you all.
If you care to hear more about why George sent out a lumpy turd in the form
of a star wars movie, drop me a line.

| What the hell, with kiddie factors aside the Phantom Menace is great, in
storyline, and unsurpassed in digital technology. So all you
whingy/moaning bastards need to look at the real beauty of this soon to
be epic saga (once again). I loved it and I think the next one will be
the icing on the cake for the STAR WARS story. I'm just waiting for
Natalie and Jake in their SHAG scene. Come on Lucas make it a STAR WARS
first. It's a new millenium, for the 2 following episodes, Jar Jar
should die and not the peaceful Yoda death either. A Sarlac Pit death
would suffice, make that mother****er scream. He was the most annoying
thing in the new movie. Lucas also needs to cut out the cheese-factor
elements, such as the original ROTJ ending (and I'm not talking about
the Special Edition Version, if you've seen it, you know what I mean).
Well those are my complaints, the pod race was cool and the lightsaber
fights kicked ass, and the whole Palpatine duality thing is keeping me
in a serious wait for the next episode. Otherwise, Lucas did a great job
and Darth Maul kicked ASS.

yo...
Jar Jar was HERDS annoying...everyone I know (we
all grew up IN star wars, not like most who
actually like this thing) didn't like
Binks...hated him actually. c'mon...r2 and 3po
were the one's who gave us the quick laugh here
and there in the classic trilogy. why did he have
to add some guy who acted and spoke TOTALLY out
of the entire scheme of star wars? c3po and r2
were in PM, so there fore, I dn't think such a
strange character was needed. GL still needed a
gungan to aid the naboo...don't forget that. If
GL added jar jar for to capture a new crowd, he's
getting to greedy of the spotlight (not to diss
the man or anything). I hope he wasn't added to
catch the kids who were buying those
"reproduced" star wars toys for the
past few years. lucas is really not so young
anymore. He named jar jar after his son, and the
character's personality of silliness and play
probably come from there. the thing is STILL not
as bad as GL's howard the duck! Bottom line: the
guy is really annoying, to me at least, but
served somewhat of a fuctional purpose in PM. I
hope he doesn't live through all three of the
prequels...and he better not make it to
7,8,&9 (if made). Jar Jar is "krimpin'
the style" that the star wars of yesterday
had.--KC

| Stupid character! Can't
understand a word he says! He should be disintegrated the same way
Kianu Reeves does in the "Men in black"
characters at the end of "The Matrix"!
Lucas has blown it!

Hello,
Thought your site was funny. I wrote a list of seven ways that I
think George should kill off JarJar in the FIRST
FEW MINUTES of Episode Two. I passed it along to
several of my friends; some of whom responded
with their own ideas which I've included in the
list I'm sending to you. I thought that someone
who would set up a web site to rally for JarJar's
demise might enjoy this list, so here it is. Two
of the following methods (#5 and #8) were sent to
me by friends. I wrote the other 8. Enjoy!
--Brian
P.S. I want to be clear that I
did like the movie a lot; it did have several
very strong points like the art direction. I came
up with the idea to do this list just for fun.
Ten ways that George could kill
off JarJar in the first few moments of Episode
Two:
1) Episode One established
jarJar as being a clutz. George could have him
stumble off of a skiff and fall into the Sarlac
pit. (1,000 years of being digested)
2) Godzilla could redeem
himself by making a BRIEF appearance just to step
on JarJar.
3) Suppose the Rancor beast
from Return of the Jedi is just a baby in Episode
Two...JarJar could be his first bipedal meal!
4) Obi-Wan could leave JarJar
on a deserted planet, and Bruce Willis could fly
his space shuttle up to a nearby asteroid and
heroically sacrifice himself by guiding the
asteroid into the planet--right on top of
JarJar's head. (Quick death for JarJar, and a
HUGE special effects sequence to boot.)
5) Episode Two could begin on
the old and familiar Hoth...JarJar's tongue could
become frozen to a metal pole; meanwhile, a Wompa
would emerge from a cave and dismember JarJar
while he's immobilized. That would be comic
relief at its finest.
6) Queen Amidala could sit
JarJar's ass down in a canoe, and send him down
river and over the edge of one of those giant
waterfalls on planet Naboo.
7) Jodie Foster could fly to
Naboo on the machine she helped to get built in
Contact, and bring JarJar back to Earth to be
dropped off at Venice Beach, California--where
he'd fit right in. He'd be on Earth, but at least
he would be outta the Star Wars universe, right?
8) JarJar could siply choke to
death on his own tongue, resulting from a
terrible freak accident in the beginning of
Episode Two.
9) George could send him off
into oblivion as JarJar rides atop the last
letter of the last word of the last paragraph of
Episode Two's opening text crawl. I can hear it
now: "Methinks me going byebye!"
10) Suppose Anakin (now ten
years older) slices JarJar's head off with his
newly aquired lightsaber because he learns that
JarJar just made a sexual advance on Queen
Amidala. This aggressive action on Anakin's part
would in turn begin his journey to the dark side
of the force, thus two birds would be killed with
one stone! Remember...anger, fear, agression,
pain--the dark side are they.

| I'd like to start by saying
that I loved TPM. It was amazing. But if every
scene with Jar Jar Binks in it was replaced with
Darth Maul kicking ass, I would have loved it
even more. If I want comic releif, I'll go see
the new Austin Powers movie. And another thing
that's annoying me is the way that people keep
saying that Star Wars is a kid's movie and that's
why Binks was added. Maybe I'm just old fashioned
but I don't thing most kids movies involve the
lead characters being impaled or being cut in
half(I thought that part was a little too cheezy
as well). In conclusion, less
"phantom," more "menace." --punkassdan
|
| Jar Jar Binks, in a word,
SUCKS. He totally ruined the middle third of the
film. He made me long for the subtleties of
Chewbacca. Death to the Floppy Eared Menace! --Vanessa
|
It seems Lucas
was searching for the "Disney" formula
for a popular character,...well he really hit on
a nice pile of dung with Jar Jar. Jar Jar needs
to be evaporated with a blaster.
--Robert
|
I'll admit I'm not a Star Wars
junkie..sorry, I didn't dress in character to go
to the movie. If Luas figures he needs gimmicks
like Binks attract new Star Wars fans, my
question is, do I really want to be in a theatre
with people who are interested and entertained by
"characters" like these? NOPE. I guess
all the hype eventually got to
Lucas' head and he forgot what made these movies
such a classic in the first place...his original
ideas that made us want to be heroes and to
believe we could do anything--Jill

| I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THE NEXT
INSTALLMENT OPEN WITH THE USUAL STARWARS
SCROLLING CREDITS AND THEN HAVE THE VERY FIRST
SEEN BE A CLOSE UP OF JAR JAR BEING SHOT IN THE
HEAD. --Ken

| JAR JAR IS PATHETIC. HE MUST
BE KILLED!!!!!. I can't believe Lucas would ruin
the movie with the piece of stupid SH*T!!! --Chris
|
Thanks for the forum!
Any ideas on how we can actually impress upon
Lucas how he's destroying his legacy by injecting
fart/shit jokes (via Jar Jar) into the Star Wars
stories?People are
defending Lucas by saying "Oh, he put the
comic relief in to appeal to the kids". I
counter that - kids LOVED Chewbacca, and
Chewbacca never had to
1) have a fart directed at him,
or
2) step in a pile of bantha shit and whine
"oh, iccky goo goo", or
3) crush his family jewels by falling,
straddle-legged, on a tank turret, or
4) flop around like Jerry Lewis and kill enemies
through asinine luck.
How can we point this out to
Lucas? Send mail to entertainment writers?
Help!
--Joe
|
| It's obvious! Lucas is
actually a genius like we thought all along!
Dealing with Jar Jar and all his moronic bullsh*t
is what drives Anakin to the dark side! Another
brilliant plot turn by that genius Lucas! O
focurse Jar Jar HAD to be annoying for it to be
convincing when Anakin finally goes to the Sith.
Hopefully he'll use his light saber to make a
Jar-Jar Kabob on the way to evil. Consider that a
final good act before going to the dark side. --LwTlkGuy@aol.com

| Isn't the internet the coolest
thing in the last 2000 years? I am intensely
amused at the speed which you created and ran the
Jar Jar Must Die web page. Maybe we could make a
movie like "Bring Me the Head of Jar
Jar" or "Jar Jar Does Dallas"?
There are so many infinite variations. We could
have Jar Jar play the nanny slave in "Gone
With the Gasbags" ! Actually,
what is terribly wrong with Star Wars is Lukas is
too rich. He has too many "yes yes" men
around and so he has lost all touch with reality.
Sad. I knew him many years ago when he made his
first pre-Star Wars film. He was a very nice guy
full of creativity. Now he is a lousy hack. Yuck.
Oh well, I saw this coming since I fell asleep
during "The Return of the Jedi" and
awoke to see the three ghosts, you know, the
father, son and holy Yoda. I burst out laughing.

I WALKED OUT! of Phantom Menace and went to next theater over to see
Entrapment. Walked back in for the last 15 minutes or so... BLEAH! I
am so thankful I didn't waste my money (and time) to see some racial
stereotypical characters and useless robots wage "battle". Jar Jar?
PUHLEEZ! The stupid bastard wouldn't have lasted last 2 microseconds.
Yes Lucas, let's computer animate another cutesy-wutesy to sell your
crap merchandise and destroy any chance of a decent flick. As far as
I'm concerned the KFC-Pizza Hut-Taco Bell commercial is better.
Oh, and BTW... DIE JAR JAR DIE!

Exhuberant Salutations,
Firstly I think that Jar Jar really sucks. And I found your page amusing.
However I don't see why everybody seems to say that besides Jar Jar it was
a great movie. I can understand that most of you are major fans but great!!
If you ditched Jar Jar (yay!! joy to the world...)the movie would still
be only be good and not great... Anakin was disgustingly cute and couldn't
act("yay!!" out of the middle of nowhere, what was with that anyway)...
Obi won couldn't act... The plot wasn't there... What the movie was
theoretically about, the begining of the empire, the sith, and the finding
of the chosen one had about 15 minutes of screentime max. But the effects
were cool. But then, there was Jar Jar. When he first made an appearance
on screen I felt like killing somthing. Also the movie was such a sellout.
Although there may have been some drug abuse (as some have suggested)
in the creation of Jar Jar it was created out of profit.
--The Muffinman

|
Jar Jar Binks... a lovable Star Wars character provided for comic
relief?...or a sick incarnation of Hitler in Gungan skin???
--Leeny086
|
I imagine the particulars of how Jar Jar sucks have been well examined, and
I won't go into them terribly, but here's something I've noticed:
For as grating as he is (I didn't find the accent difficult to follow, I
think that complaint is about as valid as that against Jim in Huck Finn.
As far as the racist dimension, I doubt that either he or the Trade
Federation were deliberate attempts at being derogatory at their parallel
cultures, but the accompaniment of similar steriotypes with bad accents is
troubing. And I think that, at some level, racism is used to do what good
dialogue and storytelling should be doing: setting up a culture as
backwards or greedy, respectively, without much more than a few lines.
While that perhaps makes for efficient filmmaking, to the extent that doing
so is exploitive and entrenching of prejudices, it's very disturbing. Yet
I digress . . .), Jar Jar is fairly important to the plot, as far as
getting the Jedi to where they need to be, drawing out explanations for the
audience's benefit, permitting the construction of the Naboo-Gungan
partnership, etc. One might think, then, that such an integral character
would be a target of the "bad guys" as well as a recipient of grudging
admiration from our heroes. However, the opposite is the case. A simple
run down:
- Qui-Gon, from the first seen Jar Jar is in, refers to him as brainless and
corrects Jar Jar's hubris-filled assumption that he is intelligent. He
also seems to disaprove of Jar Jar's eating habits, twice.
-
Obi-Wan calls him a pathetic life form. Not much screentime for our
friendly Trainspotter, perhaps he would have a few more choice comments if
he had.
-
R2-D2 gets bumped by Jar Jar and, in what one is sure prime castigation in
his wacky compu-language (FORTRAN?), tells him he's going to get them all
blown up if he doesn't get out of the way.
-
C3PO calls him a bit odd. In fact, it's the first thing he and R2-D2 agree
upon. One should be feeling a bit low on the self-esteem-ometer when the
comic relief from the other movies is making fun of one.
-
Anakin finds Jar Jar's contribution to the destruction of his slavemaster's
shop disturbing.
-
The entire Gungan race expels him for being an idiot.
I'm sure I'm missing one or two more, but what else is missing? Any of the
bad guys saying anything at all about him. Sebulba playfully knocks him
down, but that's understandable, and besides, he's not even really a dark
side co-conspirator, just a lonely, cheatin' alien who's been spit upon.
Senator Palpatine/Darth Sidious has 4 scenes with him, and not a word is
exchanged in any of them.
I'm sure I'm stretching, and my tongue is more than a little in my cheek,
but maybe Jar Jar is a double agent for the dark side . . . secretly
prodding and helping our heroes along so the Queen Amidala's in the right
place at the right time to make a call for a vote of no confidence and
Palpatine's election with all its disatrous consequences. In fact, how do
we know Palpatine is Sidious? Have we ever seen him and Jar Jar together
at the same time? Maybe, through the magic of computer generated images,
that was actually Jar Jar chatting with the Trade Federation . . . That's
it, Jar Jar was behind it all, he's the real mastermind.
Well, maybe not, but he's still a jackass.

| So here are my feelings on Jar
Jar Binks: He makes me angry. He's incredibly bad
for my blood pressure problem. I hate him with
every fiber of my being. I was praying through
the entire film that something would step on him,
or that he'd get a random blaster shot to the
head or that Liam Neeson would just loose his
temper at some point and shoot out those cool
lightning beams from his fingers like the Emporer
did in Jedi, and fry him to a crisp. But alas,
our old pal George is a money hungry jerk with
visions of action figures and patterned kids
underwear dancing in his head. My fondest hope is
that Jar Jar will be like Lando in that Lando had
a huge role in Empire, but is almost nowhere to
be found in Jedi. Hopefully Jar Jar will settle
down on Naboo with a nice Gungan chick while the
rest of the cast goes off to fight Palpatine, and
we'll never have to see him again. But we all
know we're not that lucky. I think this entire
thing is terrible, and I loose tons of respect
for Lucas as a filmaker for injecting this
otherwise top-notch flick with an annoying,
child-geared would be stuffed animal. You'll have
to excuse me now; I have to go take my medication
before I have a corronary. --A Granieri

| When it comes out on video
I'll personally just edit out 75% or so of JJ's
lines and have him never say, "how
rude." While I'm at it I think I'll audio
dub over Jake LLoyd saying, "Yippee"
and... well, most everything else Jake Lloyd says
too. When Queen Amadala's decoy says that R2D2
should be "commended" that was pretty
cheezy too, that's right out. That announcer at
the pod races? What the hell was that --it was
right out of a bad mid 80s sifi cartoon. "I
don't care what universe you're from that's gotta
hurt!" Cringe! --S-9

coments regarding this Jar Jar character, I
started to feel sick to my stomach shortly after
he arrived on the scene. I hope the next movie
has more story. --dnkorpi

Menace in a nutshell: Not enough Darth Maul. Way
too much Jar Jar Binks. What the fuck was Lucas
thinking? --Mike
|
| I must pretend that Episode I
never existed if I am to have any respect for
Star Wars at all. Like the sequel to Highlander,
Lucas proved that not all outstanding movies can
be improved upon with a larger budget and better
FX. Jar Jar was so annoying I felt like crying
into my $10 movie seat because he just would not
die! He kept killing those fragile robots when
all they needed was one good laser to the head to
end all the headache! Plus the audience would
have rejoiced and proclaimed Phantom a winner! --Adrian

jar jar ruined the whole damn
movie. star wars was meant to be an
action/special effects movie with a cool,
original story line. Sure, maybe TPM didn't have
much of a story line, in itself. The fact is, it
is only the first movie in a six movie series. it
is like the very beginning of one movie. it
starts to get into the beginning of the whole
story. Jar Jar is the only really bad thing about
the movie. All his stupid blabbing on just made
it feel more and more like i wasn't seeing a star
wars movie but a disney
movie. I saw it opening night at midnight, and it
was almost dissapointing to wait in line for
hours to see it. I still thought it was good,
but, to put it one way, i never would have waited
for a disney movie. So you say he is for kids.
Yeah, what kids, 4 year olds and some dorky 8
year olds? I don't care how old kids are if they
are over 5, all of them would prefer action to
jar jar. I know my little 8 year old brother
would have wanted action a lot more than jar jar.
All the other star wars movies were just fine
without characters like him. C-3P0 had little
remarks that little kids would like, but he never
came close to ruining the whole damn movie. And
so what if it was for kids? There was more jar
jar than Darth Maul!! What the f-ck is up with
that? The other star wars movies were for pretty
much all ages but didn't have some stupid "
oh pee-uhsa" IDIOT!-Tim

| What one must understand about
Jar Jar is that is is a reflection of the
American public at large. The third time I saw
episode one the general audience was bored stiff
with the great background dialogue and politics,
and loved Jar Jar's antics ( including the fart
scene. Just goes to show you how stupid and
simple minded the public is. Most Fans will agree
that Darth Maul should have had much more screen
time and Jar Jar just should not exist at all.
But since shows like TRAIN WRECKS and AMERICAS
BUSTED ON THE JOB, are what is selling, expect
more Jar Jar and less epic story telling. The
great unwashed public cant handle a story thats
too detailed. --Bill

| And this Jub-jub, or jar-jar,
or whatever the #@$@%! his name is, is a
breakthrough in computer generated nuisances. Not
since Microsoft Word's animated paper-clip help
buddy (or maybe Microsoft Bob) have computers
been used to generate something so thoroughly
annoying. Remember how you felt about Joe Pesci's
obnoxious character in Lethal Weapon 2? Well
that's nothing compared to how you'll feel about
J-J. You'll be tempted to ram knitting needles
through your eardrums after about five minutes of
listening to him spit and babble. Fortunately, my
wife didn't bring her knitting to the theatre. --

| Hello, I just wanted to say
how much I despise Jar Jar and therefore like
your cause. I am a big SW fan, and was looking
forward to everything ROTJ was not, but ESB was.
Less cheese, more story and action. ROTJ was, in
many ways to me, a slapped-together contrived
'wrapping up of loose ends' that proved Lucus
cannot handle untidy variables where villains are
involved. In ROTJ you saw Jabba, Boba Fett,
Vader, Emperor, and Yoda conveniently removed
from the story, and usually in totally
unrealistic fashion. Back
to Jar Jar-- As my friends kept telling me not to
get my hopes up too high for E1, I kept pointing
out the cool trailer. Looks like good things
there. However, when I trudged through the first
110 minutes of E1, I noticed just how much Jar
Jar I was getting, and how little I got to see
jack squat of Obi-Wan, Sidious, Maul, Amidala,
etc. Once I got to the last 20mins of the film,
and the Jedi were duelling Maul, I had
hope...hope that the film could make a comeback
into greatness that would make Luke's X-Wing run
on the Death Star look like child's play. But
no.It was over quickly and I was again irritated,
irate even at the shoddy treatment of Qui-Gon,
then especially Maul. Wouldn't want to leave any
mystery, would we Mr. Lucus?
I was irked like I hadn't been
since...the first time I saw Jar-Jar. That clown
ruined the majority of the movie. If he was
anything but stupid I would call him racist. How
did the guy who made up languages for even
bit-part characters like Greedo in SW get so
slack he gave the Gungans some slang Jamaican?
Not to mention the Kung-Fu action theater Trade
Federation guys? I get better accents from old
Jackie Chan movies. Every time I nearly forgave
the movie (during the film), Jar-Jar would step
up and spoil it. If Lucus wanted to show off his
CGI/Real actors mixing capability, he should have
done an animated short, like Pixar would. By the
end of E1, I was begging for more Threepio!
Take all the Ewoks, Gungans,
that asinine race commentator, the Willow guy,
the pink one-eyed pig yoda Jedi guy, and all the
other stupid ideas in this movie and cut them
out! That leaves about an hour for more
development of REAL actors, or at least real
characters. Also, is the first girl who makes fun
of Anakin before the pod race Lucus' daughter? If
not, then how do you explain a slave kid on a
backwater planet with braces? Right before Ani
tries out his pod (after Jar Jar's numb mouth
debacle that was seen coming farther than a
plotline gag from Three's Company), a girl picks
on Ani, then a little girl, then the redheaded
boy and the little Rodian. Note that the Rodian
keeps his cool language that was original, not
some Earthly rip-off.
Anyway, to summarize, I hate
Jar-Jar. If that punk blights the screen again, I
must probably disown Lucus permanently. Give it
to Spielberg!!!! I went and bought the Lego small
set with Qui-Gon and Jar Jar just to putJar Jar's
head on a spear in my office, where it stands
today...
