My biggest problem with TPM (besides the obvious objections mentioned above), is that the characters were impossible to relate to. "Star Wars" gave us dialogue by Luke and Han in a way that we would say..if not the exact words. CONTRACTIONS! People on Earth use them constantly.

If SNL or The Simpsons made a parody in 1998 about the most commercial, watered down, kid friendly character to eventually curse the Star Wars universe...I'm pretty sure it still wouldn't come close to Jar Jar. My hatred for him is still as alive as it was ten plus years ago. Can you imagine if his "character" was say..a renegade wookie...or any other species. Or simpley the way he looked now, but acted differently...and didn't have a voice like the SHMOO from NBC Saturday morning cartoons of the early 80s? Terrible.
