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.

It's an epic myth. It was important to portray his origins, the mystery boy of a virgin birth capable of performing miracles. While it sounds very Christian, it really fits the archetype of most myths.
And some of that episode II dialogue was intentionally awkward. Like at the beginning when he went "you've grown too, grown more beautiful. For a senator, i mean." I think that whole sand line fits in with that.
Now, the Padme-Anakin dialogue in episode III, that was a travesty.
