i liked jar jar. star wars always had comic relief. jar jar has become a scapegoat...you don't hate R2-D2 and C3-PO for making jokes do you but Mr. Binks is satan. it's racist is what it is.
Yeah for all his tomfoolery and goofing around, I never had any major issues with Mr Binks whatsoever. C3PO can be a more obnoxious than him at times and you never hear many complaining about that!
My only issues with the prequels is that they tend to do what Enterprise did with Star Trek; have a set in stone canon storyline, complete with references to past events, giving it plenty of prequel material for further films that would tell us what happened in that event mentioned within this episode. Both the SW trilogy and Enterprise ignored the potential in this, leaving in only a few key events
For instance, in Enterprise there was a nice telling of how Klingons look different in the 23rd century until the latter half of that century that could be considered canon and provides a good story+explanation.
On the flipside, it could have showcased parts or at least the start of the Romulan-United Earth war that took place just around 2160 but negated it in favour of the odd nudge and wink espionage themed episodes.
With Star Wars however they did a nice build up to the creation of the Empire but kinda screwed about with the plot of Boba Fett's upbringing which was watchable but went against what was laid out beforehand in novels and such.
Scuse me, I'm done now. I don't hate the prequels but merely wish they did more referencing to prior titles and other sources
