I think Jar Jar is an important part of Episode 1, especially since he’s designed to be a contrast to the weird uptight Jedi and the weird uptight Queen. However, it would be really cool to see him redubbed as less of a comic relief character and more of an example of a typical person in this galaxy thrust into these strange situations. Essentially he is the barometer for judging what is ‘normal’ and this version of the character would have him comment on the strangeness of the Jedi and the stilted nature of the queen, the broken nature of the Senate and the insanity of war. His quest is just to get back to something approaching normal in his life.
