If someone took the time to re-dub all the Gungans with proper English, as well as re-animate Jar Jar to be less goofy, then I think the Gungans could be a pretty interesting part of TPM.
When I look at some of the Doug Chiang concept art for Jar Jar and the Gungas I can’t help but feel that they were a real missed opportunity.
Then again, “many good and interesting ideas poorly executed”, is a pretty decent summary of the PT in general.
Not surprising given that this version of Jar Jar is derived from the Green Martian-esque character of Han Solo (don’t let the name fool you, he’s a burly alien sidekick in the vein of Chewbacca) from the 1974 rough draft.
Actually, now I’m rather scared of Gungans. Specifically their weaponry.
