OK, here’s an unpopular opinion regarding Star Wars.
I’ve no issues with Jar Jar Binks and don’t know why people are so incensed by said character.
What… What is wrong with you?
Are you okay?Seriously, how don’t you see it? He’s insanely annoying, his “clumsy” antics just make him seem like an idiot, and he speaks in an accent that makes me want to jam pencils up my ears. If I could remove him from the trilogy completely, I would.
That’s the point. Jar Jar is supposed to be annoying. A major theme of Star Wars is redemption; Vader redeems himself and becomes a good person again, Han redeems himself and cuts off his ties to selfishness, Finn redeems himself three times and stops being selfish as well, learning to care about the cause and then move on from Rey as in the next movie, Luke redeems himself and becomes the legend that doesn’t exist, Rey redeems herself and realizes the only way to destroy her inner self-loathing is to give herself her own self value.
Jar Jar compliments that. He is constantly a screw-up, he’s irritating, etc. and that’s the point. He redeems himself when he fights against the battle droids on Naboo.
