Again, there's nothing particularly good about him, but I can tolerate him in my amusement I guess I could say. Also, I was always sort of impressed in a technical way at how they could make a digital character look almost decent next to everybody and on real movie sets (most notably after seeing how horrible the digital Jabba looked in those scenes with Han Solo in the special edition of Star Wars).

Yeah, I agree. I never really had any problem with Jar-Jar, although it's fun to make fun of him, and I didn't really miss him when he started to magically disappear.
