I'd be pro just removing Jar-Jar from the Gungan battle he offers absolutely nothing good; especially in the battle scenes! I'm not a fan of the slap stick crap Lucas gives us in he middle of battles from RotJ onwards. Literally the less Jar-Jar is in the film the better. Can I add that Vader killing Jar-Jar in RotS would make me very, very happy - lop his head off or force choke him; either way I'd be happy...

Well, I am a Brit, and not actually a Republican; I very much like the Queen. It was more from This angle; Padme an unelected Queen turns Naboo into a democracy. Palpatine elected official turns Republic into an Empire and him Emporer. I liked the dichotomy of the two people vying for Anakin's soul as it were.
