Oh, I wasn't. I was just trying to build my own goofy joke on top of that. ; )

I think being 9 when The Phantom Menace came out has something to do with it.
Yeah, I actually still think that TPM, has the best acting out of the entire PT, and even though I didn't mind Jar Jar at the time (I'm myself was 9 as well) I today am angered by him. Not, so much because he is annoying, but more because of something Ahmed Best said; that Jar Jar reminded him of being a child and feeling like an outcast, and how he was excited to have Jar Jar grow up throughout the movies and become an honorable and respected character. Did any of this happen? No! I think that is tragic. Now, Jar Jar will forever be the outcast child that nobody likes. I'm sure there are many of us that can sympathize with that plight, and we should have been able to sympathize with Jar Jar throughout the PT, but Lucas and team botched it.
On a lighter note, I like battle droids, but only TPM battle droids when they talked all monotone and didn't really have emotion, which made them seem like more of a credible threat. I would like to see them re -dubbed in that fashion.
. . . I just went very off topic didn't I?
