Something I would hope Adywan would consider for his edits, is that rather than dub over Jar Jar with an alien language and then use subtitles, try to actually find a voice actor who's willing to donate his services to the project and actually record new dialogue for him with a new voice. I thought the alien language worked pretty well in Magnoliafan's edits, but it did stretch the believability of the story a bit (like, why does everyone in this movie understand Gunganese?), and it also made it a bit more obvious that it was a fan cut since it doesn't quite seem like something that would be in a real, professionally released movie. Using an actual voice actor would be much yield much more professional and convincing results, assuming the actor doesn't suck (but really, what could be worse than the official Jar Jar?).

If I was going to come up with a new voice for Jar Jar, I think I might make him sound a little like Jim Varney-- on the raspy side with a touch of southern drawl. :^D
