I think that might have worked. Crow as Jar Jar Binks. I doubt it would have ended up the Caribbean caricature it did.
JarJar didn't sound Caribbean at all. It was the fact that he sounded like a horribly carricatured slave from the deep South.
"Meesa yousa" sounded scarily like "Yesah massa". Plus the whole pattern of the speech was uncomfortable minstrel like, I'm sure Ahmed Best didn't mean to do it. Just like the guys that probably spent months and years designing the Hitler Kettle didn't mean to do it...
