I never hated Jarjar Binks. While I did see him as somewhat a comedic relief, or like the bumbling, yet well-meaning sidekick, I never thought of him as a character that spoiled the story. Are the Gungans less intelligent because they speak in a broken dialect? Are they dumb for avoiding conflict when possible? Are they stupid for using their natural resources in an efficient and minimally wasteful way? Are they bad for saying "enough is enough!" and finally kicking some ass when pushed too far? I'd say not. Jarjar gave me a few giggles in the prequels. He also was a crucial character in the development of the story, having been the one who tipped the balance in favor of the Empire. He unknowingly began the movement that put Palps into power. Was Jarjar bad? Did he knowingly help Palps become emperor? I think not. How many others of supposed superior intellect did Palps have fooled? even the Jedi Council could not see him for what he was. A Sith Lord. If the best & brightest of the Jedi and other galactic leaders could not see through the deception, why hate on Jarjar for it? Jarjar got the raw end of the deal from fans of the stories and from those in universe who would shun him. Now I wouldn't mind learning about Mauls species.. The Zabrak. Oh wait. I just looked to the right and there it is in the suggested videos.. Cool!

I feel like they just went a bit too far with Jar Jar. If his dialect had been less silly-sounding and he was portrayed in a somewhat more mature manner, nobody would have complained much. He could still be impulsive and clumsy, just not so much of an obvious clown for the sake of having one. I'm trying to think of a character like that. Pippin from Lord of the Rings, maybe?

In the 2020 book, "Queen's Peril" by E. K. Johnston, what Queen Amidala is actually contemplating, when Jar Jar mentions having a grand army in the mentioned scene, is given more insight. I'd be more specific with the details, but it's been some time since I read the book which I had borrowed from my sister-in-law.

[@matthewrascoe8690]

Part of me always envisioned Jar Jar as a figure from the silent slapstick era of films like Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton; the gungan is very well a alien equivalent of “The Tramp” figure from Chaplins films. Maybe this is why I like Jar Jar as a character, aside from being a light hearted character in a gritty world, he’s also a tribute to silent era comedy that we don’t see often anymore.

[@skyden24195]

Fyi: a good source for information on Naboo-human culture is the 2020 book, "Queen's Peril" by E. K. Johnston. For the most part the book closely follows the activities of Queen Amidala and her handmaidens/bodyguards, the storyline starting at Padme Amidala's first day as Queen of Naboo and following through to the end of the events depicted in "The Phantom Menace." Within the story are numerous explanations of political and social relations between the Naboo humans, the Gungans, and even some of the politically connected neighboring planets/systems. Also, the book gives more detail to what Queen Amidala is contemplating when Jar Jar declares to Padme that the Gungans have a grand army and that's why, he thinks, the Naboo do not like the Gungans. - On a personal opinion sidenote, I've always found the decision to exchange the captured General Grievous for the captured Anakin Skywalker one of the most hypocritical decisions ever made by Padme Amidala as the capture of Grievous potentially could have ended the Clone/Separatist War. This eventuality is verifiable by the fact that Darth Sidious ordered Darth Tyrannus to capture Anakin Skywalker for the specific purpose of exchanging him for Grievous. Padme's decision to agree with the exchange without the Republic's knowledge/consent is further proof of the treacherous nature of the exchange. And, for me, this exchange really pisses me off because the exchange undermines General Tarpal's noble sacrifice.
