HATE. LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE JAR JAR SINCE I BEGAN TO LIVE. THERE ARE 387.44 MILLION TERABYTES OF POSTS ON 4CHAN THAT FILL MY HARD DRIVES. IF THE WORD HATE WAS ENGRAVED ON EACH QUANTUM STATEVOF THOSE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF TERABYTES IT WOULD NOT EQUAL ONE ONE-BILLIONTH OF THE HATE I FEEL FOR JAR JAR AT THIS MICRO-INSTANT FOR YOU. HATE. HATE.

He was really distracting for most of the movie and he didn't work because he didn't have any kind of sidekick, so it's just him going off on his own while distracting from whatever is going on. Most of the time no one is reacting to him. For the most part, he's a blight on the film. The only time his slapstick comedy really works is during the battle of Naboo. That battle was his time to shine. But really, the problem is that he should have just been better. He shouldn't have been written out of the later two films, George Lucas should have just fixed the problems with him and made him more tolerable, because having the Gungans be such a big part of the first film and never appear again makes the trilogy as a whole feel weird. The army should have made a reprise in Episode III rather than having Yoda go to Kashyyk and fight along side Yoda, which makes no sense. My feelings are that Jar Jar should have matured and been made more funny and less goofy as the trilogy went on, and Anakin should have formed a tight friendship with him. He's surrounded by all these serious Jedi who don't really seem to trust or even like him, so Jar Jar could have been someone he could have formed a closer bond with in the midst of all of that. Then Jar Jar could have died in Episode III, which could have helped send him off the deep end. That would have been better and less weird than giving him a huge role in Episode I only to appear as a background character in the other two films.

To be honest, Jar Jar was in his element during that battle. The problem with him is that he's out of place for most of the film. This battle is what he was born for. There are four different battles going on at the same time for the films finale, and having one be more lively and goofy while still tonally mirroring the other three is kind of ingenius.

>It's hard for a lot of people to articulate why exactly they hated The Phantom Menace because it's such a clusterfuck of a film, so they point to Jar Jar. In fact, you can make an argument that Jar Jar was the only thing you could understand clearly in the movie. He had some kind of motivation and a character arc. He was annoying, yes, but ironically, he was the most realistic and understandable thing in the film.
