I agree we need to calm down some of it, but the problem with making him Billy bad ass is his actions and facial expressions say, "I'm an idiot."

Thats a pretty good point TJ........perhaps Jar Jar can make the accusation that they banished him because he's not like any of the others. So instead of him being ridiculed for clumsiness, he is more or less ridiculed because he is obviously weird and not like any of the other gungans. I got to thinking about the battle that the gungans have at the end........does it make any sense in the world to promote the local town weirdo to the general of their army? Even above the Cpt. Tarpalas character? Perhaps we'll need to alter that situation as well. I think it would be cool if Jar jar simply volunteers to fight in the battle and boss nass agrees to send him to the front lines. I know that's moving a little far ahead, but to me the Jar jar character is extremely flawed and this is our oppurtunity to work him into a character that doesn't ruin the movie (as many people have claimed). Thoughts?
