Right, I’ve finished the JAR JAR VOICE TOOL.

You can find it here. Thanks again to evansj1983 for identifying all the Clone Wars clips.

The spreadsheet now contains a list of 300 Jar Jar voice lines, timecoded and marked as clean or dirty. It also contains a link to the accompanying video file (4GB, ~35 min) featuring all 300 lines in order, indexed back to the spreadsheet and also timestamped in case you want to re-source them for your own edit.

Basically, anyone should be able to now search the spreadsheet for the line, word, or sound they want, then use the video in any editing software that splits audio by track in order to play around with Jar Jar’s audio.

There’s lots of good stuff in there - many references to him supporting a Queen, discussing the Force and the Jedi, being a Senate representative, and having proper motivation and character beyond passivity.

If you notice any errors, let me know, because it’s set up in such a way that I can fix it easily.

Go play!

If you need anymore lines there is always the Disney Infinty 3.0 lines for Jar Jar. Here’s a YouTube link to all of his lines if it helps: https://youtu.be/uoGGwG4-JUU

Eddie being given a whole new source of Jar Jar quotes:

This… is accurate. There’s some good stuff in there though. Here I go again…

That all being said, having basically had to internalise Jar Jar recently through immersion therapy, I do think that if we kind of accept his awkward speech patterns, his character in TPM can be improved by simply giving him actual motivations and cares, like he has in his other sources. I think that’s the big thing I’m going to play with - replacing 'mesa’s and some goofy attributes, but finding replacement lines where possible.
