I've always liked this idea, but it could never be acomplished. 


I always thought that Episode 1 needed a Chewbacca/Han Solo pair of characters. The "regular guys" so to speak. So my idea is that instead of Jar-Jar, we have the two Republic pilots for Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, be the sidekicks. When I envision these two, these images come to mind.

NOTE: I'm not suggesting Ric Olie' as still being the "Captain Obvious" guy, he'd be an entirely different character. An older gruff starpilot and his alien sidekick would be a nice nod to Han and Chewie, while not being a complete rip-off.
