Where to begin....

So are we to believe TPM would have been this dark adult porn film kids would have avoided if some dumbass cartoon weren't in 95% of the movie?

No that's stupid. Suddenly all these jedi lightsabers and spaceships and shit aren't there anymore to entertain kids????? Am I missing something? Do we need a retarded Jamaican steryotype character to be farted on, step in shit, get kicked in the balls and cater to the lowest common denominator for humor? THANK GOD GL couldn't accomplish this back in 77.... LORD FORBBID he'd have to rely on intelligent writing and good acting to entertain our kids!

Jar Jar is so obviously just Lucas' CGI demo that it makes TPM unwatchable for me. It hurts the most because we're given some sweet heavenly minutes at the beginning of the film without him that I miss that feeling later on when it was just me obiwan, and quigon doing jedi stuff... Watching gl on the dvd as he takes out his marker and looks at the storyboards marking jar jar again and again for inclusion into practically every scene makes me so very sick. The idea to sacrafice the story's integrity to pander to some 5 yearold who likes poop jokes makes me fucking sick... First Kids like anything that isn't outright adult and scary. But kids like me would not want our intelligences insulted by this moronic creation. George saw Who framed Roger Rabbit and basically said to himself "I've got to try that." It backfired in his face so to save ticket sales he lessened the role down to an out of the way little side role in the second one IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THAT WAY FROM THE START and then just nothing in the end proving jar jar haters right that that cartoon should have been dropped during the concept stage. Of course that pointless Grievous character is another matter entirely. MORE cgi demos from Lucas...
