As an avid Star Wars fan, I agree that both Jar Jar and the writing are atrocious. I highly disagree with darth though. Jar Jar deserves ALL the hate he's gotten AND THEN SOME! Has there ever been a more worthless, pointless character than Jar Jar Binks? I don't think so.
Maxwell brings up a good point that the people around George Lucas should've just screamed "NO" at most of his ideas, but after discussing this with many people, I've concluded it's likely he would've just said "Screw you" and do it anyway.

Anakin at 9 years old. There was no point to showing him then. It didn't even fit the "When I first knew him, your father was already a great pilot. But I was amazed how strongly the Force was with him."
Sure older Anakin was a jerk, but at least we wouldn't have Gary Stuwalker.

Well, to be fair, Anakin in Episode II wasn't much better, unless you enjoyed his great character building speech about how he doesn't like sand...
At least Anakin is relevant at some point, and he is the de facto main character of the series. Jar Jar, on the other hand, never had a point.

I already pointed out older Anakin wasn't much better, so how can it "be fair", when I agree with that? The term "to be fair" is not a response. It's from the critic making a counterpoint in the middle of a criticism.
That seems rude, but as a TV Tropes regular, I hate that phrase now, especially when it's used incorrectly.
