Message Boards - Boba Fett Fan Club → General → Who HATES Jar Jar Binks?
Pat Morita is one of those guys who you assume have become one with the force rather than dead...
He just seems like the type of guy where you'd be washing a car or painting a fence or something and he'd appear and say "Wax on, Wax Off."
no doubt. he speaks to me whenever i'm washing my car. lol. that'd be a great way to revive ralph machio's career.
I blame Jar-Jar Binks for Ralph's career going so badly since Karate Kid....
lol. i blame the new england patriots.
I hate him sooo much,that I wanna take a bomb and SHOVE it down his throat!
If you were talking about any member of any species other than the Gungans or Ewoks, I'd say you were being harsh.
I didn't have anything against the Ewoks before I saw all the fuzzy-wuzzy EU concepts about them.
I disliked them before I saw those EU things, then I started to hate them...
My brother's joke about the Ewoks cartoon is that it was just a re-dubbed Gummy Bears.
"Wow! Gummy *EWOKS*"
"Ewoks being said in a suddenly low, unsynced voice.
I loved the Ewoks as a kid. Sure they're not convincing as an army against Stormtroopers but at least they weren't blubbering idiots like Jar Jar.
Re Jar-Jar: I really disliked the character when I saw the movie for the first time in the theaters. I was all "WTF is this guy about? I can't even understand what he's saying--and the exaggerated Jamacian accent seems racist!" The character seemed a terrible caricature of some of the concepts of the first trilogy which I grew up watching.
HOWEVER--when I watched the movie at home recently with my partner's 7-year old daughter, I saw how the kid's attention was wandering just before Jar-Jar came on, and how riveted to the movie she was after. Which reminded me that some of Star Wars is really for kids. Which I'm not anymore--so maybe I'm not supposed to "get it"!
I like Jar-Jar and think he's cute, but I hate the way he was used. It's as if he was invented just as a means of reducing the intellectuality of the movie so that it could appeal to people that didn't want to think (and small children in addition, which I think is patronizing and insulting to the children). Not to mention that he was a vehicle for infantile bathroom humor, because the writers were too lazy or unskilled to write in something better. Just like in every other movie (i.e. Disney) the humor has seriously been downgraded in the last ten or fifteen years. (Perhaps the entertainment industry is deevolving.)

Perhaps? More like deffinately. 
The entertainment industry devolving, how depressing that is. What is it going to take to turn the situation around?

Iknow what you mean. The Fox and the Hound was one of the only watchable Disney/ Pixar movies (though it reminds me too much of my dead dog Kaile, God rest her soul, to watch). I saw a commercial for the interquel, and it looks like a rip off.
yeah what was he Drinking when he Dreamed that thing up, he could have done better

i'd like to take this moment here to point out that quite possibly episode 1 is so boring that it takes a complete nincompoop to make people pay attention to it.

The complete nincompoop made me want to run from the theater when he came on. I guess you could say in that way he woke me up.

Well if you watch the old Donald Duck cartoons from like the 1930s, 40s, 50s i.e. before Disney died. they're hilarious.
Me and my brother used to sit there in stitches but Quack Pack, Duck Tales, any of the new Donald Ducks.....Are just...well unfunny (with the exception of one.HAHAHA what a Saturday morning that was.)....I never laughed even when I was seven.

Maybe we could just stop laughing at bad jokes. Yeah right.
If you compare the humor in Empire versus Phantom Menace, or for a Disney slant, that in the Jungle Book versus any of the post-1998 cartoons, it's obvious that many writers of today just don't know what they're doing. They're trying to dumb us down or something, and unfortunately it spread to Star Wars too. (Am I right in saying that George wrote the scripts for the prequels, but hired Irvin Kershner and others to do the originals? That could also have something to do with it, not to attack the poor man. He's a victim of society.)
Irvin Kershner just directed. GL hired him to do either ESB or ROTJ and then someone else to do the other movie, either ESB or ROTJ. I forget who did which exactly.
Well for fine comedy, I reccomend my films....;)
for some good comedy, i enjoy watching internet videos. guys jumping off rooftops, setting themselves on fire, etc... darwinism at it's finest!
Well....I...um....Singalong to Fett's Vette......
You can blame Jar-Jar for the down fall of the republic bacause he called for the use of the Clone Army.
