The CBC did a special on Jar Jar, growing up during that time, with the character, I did find it annoying. But this shows a sad commentary on the human race, the actor even received death threats for the role. Ahmed says at the end of the interview that he was encouraged that millennials were more accepting of the character after 20 years.
It could be worse, Peter. You could be working during midnight showings of “Rocky Horror” and end up swearing off rice, toast, water, prunes, hot dogs and (God forbid) toilet paper.
I know I’m going against the norm here but I thought Jar Jar was funnier than C3P0, but just not as smart. I guess that is why I have watched the originals several times and the others only once.

If Jason wanted to irritate his brother, he could yell out “Hey everybody. The Jedi Mind trick works on this guy.”

Just a thought- but if the movie just opened, where did they get all those costumes?

I swear, FT characters do not look human when their upper lips droop.
