That's why RotS gets some extra positive points from me. It is the prequel that FINALLY got the message. Jar Jar sucks. end of story.
Other than that, it's not the end I would have wanted. Characters like Dooku just being thrown away... one big boss fight after another like a video game, grievous (nuff said), midichlorians. It's just a mess. But at least jar jar's been put in his rightful place alongside other extras.
Thank the maker. I think that's the biggest reason I enjoyed anything about episode 3. It may sound petty to some, because there's a lot ot like about episode 3 besides the lack of jar jar, but that's just how I see it after YEARS of wanting a practically jar jar-free episode just like it was in the OT. He really is THAT terrible a character to me.
In Clones and Sith I thought Jar-Jar was o.k because he slightly normal (as normal can be for this clown), but in Menace he was absolute disaster, I was suprised(may not for everyone maybe) to read he was the first character to be devloped for Episode 1 and it was Georges vision for a "talking feeling walking running fainting bundle of amphibous comic relief" when a "human" character may have done the job, or if you keep Jar-Jar dont overplay him like George did and well we now the results, some of it was slightly amusing(as can be for this fool) but compared to the O.T humor it was well slighty iinfintile and to out of place for S.W but then to cap it off we had the pod-racers and Boss Nass and Captain Tarpals who were just as bad, it was soo different from the O.T humor (and their was nothing like it in the O.T) could you imagine if Han and Chewie came across these in their adventures you could imagine Han taking the piss out of them, and then Han and Chewie laughing their heads off.
I would interested to see the movie with that crap taken out it might make a better movie,still the stuff like the(never-ending) podrace and intro, Qui-Gonn finding Anakin. Anakin bulding 3-Po will have me tearing my hair out..
Dooku was wasted as was Maul, Grievous wasnt too bad, but it would have been nice to of had a consistent "villian" instead of the seemingly disposible ones like we had...
