The dialogue is a trainwreck. Everything out of Jar Jar’s and Jake’s mouth is laughable, Natalie’s queen is terrible, and let’s not forget the racist angle of Jar Jar, the Nemoidians, and Watto.
Also, midichlorians, the single worst concept in the entire PT.
Jar Jar is meant to be laughable so I don’t know why you hold that against him. Jake Lloyd does an excellent job. If you dislike kid Anakin I suspect it’s because you dislike kids in general, rather than anything about his performance or dialogue.
Ahmed Best does not himself consider Jar Jar racist so why should you? Lame, below the belt jab.
Midichlorians were introduced in 1978 as part of the guidelines for EU novel authors.
