I found it obnoxious that Jar Jar Binks was still seen bumbling around the senate in Episode III. He had no lines, but he was still walking around participating in political events. Why?
He seemed more mature in AOTC, and voting Palpatine emergency powers notwithstanding, he was probably competent enough to remain a representative for his people and Naboo in general. I do wonder where he was during Palpy’s big Say hello to your new Empire! speech though.
