I've come up with an idea for all you people who want to kill off Jar Jar Binks and what would that be you ask.

Why to CLONE Jar Jar Binks of course.

This way you will NEVER EVER get the original Jar Jar Binks no matter how hard you try with your insidious plans to kill off Jar Jar Binks.

Stryderg25 May 2015 9:56 a.m. PST

That's not a nightmare, that's a dream…we get to kill him off over and over and over. Me'sa likes!

wminsing25 May 2015 9:58 a.m. PST

Yes, one death is too good for him. Now he can die a thousand horrible deaths. This is delightful.

But you don't understand this will never end and you'll NEVER be rid of him Yousa can't get rid of him he'll be with you FOREVER.

Explains Stormtroopers' inability to hit in the original trilogy-they are Jar Jar clone troopers.

Learn something new every day.

NeDzhoNikto you don't get it this has nothing to do with the Clone Troopers and Jango Fett,this is a separate issue,and the Storm Troopers problems are there's and you can't blame Jar Jar for their BAD shooting.

> Explains Stormtroopers' inability to hit in the original trilogy-they are Jar Jar clone troopers.

In the Clone Wars cartoon Jar Jar is a one Gungan killing machine though. In an Inspector Clouseau kind of way…

No, my worst nightmare would be if they cloned baby Anakin or teen Anakin. Next to those two, Jar Jar is a model of character creation and sparkling dialogue.

billthecat25 May 2015 12:09 p.m. PST

Nicely said, Parzival!

You all are forgetting Darth Binks

Personal logo javelin98 Supporting Member of TMP26 May 2015 10:21 p.m. PST

Don't you mean Darth-Darth Binks?

wminsing27 May 2015 11:19 a.m. PST

But you don't understand this will never end and you'll NEVER be rid of him Yousa can't get rid of him he'll be with you FOREVER.

I'll make the trade off in exchange for being able to watch him being destroyed over and over again.

Will just what do you have against Jar Jar Binks?

Martin Rapier28 May 2015 4:53 a.m. PST

"just what do you have against Jar Jar Binks?"

You don't find the pseudo-Caribbean accent just a little…..offensive?

Less with Jar Jar, more with Boss Nass.

I know Lucas has hotly denied it, but really. I thought the Black and White Minstrels were a thing of the past.

Captain Gideon28 May 2015 8:41 a.m. PST

Martin Rapier to answer your question no I don't think it was offensive.

We do know that other movies including some James Bond films had actors speak with a pseudo-Caribbean accent does that make them offensive too?

What would you have had the Gungans talk like?

And if you go there what about Nute Gunray and his people some have said he had a French accent was that offensive too?

wminsing28 May 2015 10:43 a.m. PST

Will just what do you have against Jar Jar Binks?

Beyond the fact that he's a racist caricature and also contributes nothing of any use to the story?

-Will

Captain Gideon28 May 2015 11:06 a.m. PST

Will if Jar Jar is a racist caricature as you say(which I disagree with you) then you have to say that every movie that has come out with characters who uses a pseudo-Caribbean accent or any other accent be it German,Japanese etc is the same.

And saying that Jar Jar Binks didn't contribute nothing of any use to the story is just wrong because he did you might not to believe that but it's true.

Mithmee28 May 2015 4:45 p.m. PST

This way you will NEVER EVER get the original Jar Jar Binks no matter how hard you try with your insidious plans to kill off Jar Jar Binks.

No this just means that I get to kill him many times over.

Oh and each one being different.

I am a Pisces so I can think of many different and interesting ways to kill him off.

Captain Gideon28 May 2015 6:00 p.m. PST

I bet you do Mithmee.

Don't you have anything better to do than think up ways to kill Jar Jar?

wminsing29 May 2015 8:01 a.m. PST

Will if Jar Jar is a racist caricature as you say(which I disagree with you) then you have to say that every movie that has come out with characters who uses a pseudo-Caribbean accent or any other accent be it German,Japanese etc is the same.

No, because the *accent* isn't the problem. It's how the character with that accents *acts* that is the problem. I don't find black face acting with a sci-fi veneer to be at all entertaining, or acceptable.

And saying that Jar Jar Binks didn't contribute nothing of any use to the story is just wrong because he did you might not to believe that but it's true.

So what vital story function did Jar Jar fill that couldn't have just as easily been filled by another character or story-telling device?

Captain Gideon29 May 2015 10:01 a.m. PST

No, because the *accent* isn't the problem. It's how the character with that accents *acts* that is the problem. I don't find black face acting with a sci-fi veneer to be at all entertaining, or acceptable.

I disagree with you Will for myself I didn't see that in the character,and for the blackface comment in my opinion you're wrong and that's how I see it.

Will you never said vital story function but for me Jar Jar Binks getting the Gungans and Naboo together to fight the trade federation might not have been a vital contribution but it was a contribution to the story and I highly doubt that the Jedi or the Queen could've gotten the Gungans to help them so Jar Jar Binks did provide an important function in the story and that's how I see it.

That's fine, you're allowed to disagree with me, it's a free country. But that's what I see when *I* look at Jar Jar Binks, and nothing you say will convince me otherwise. Which is why I hate the character, and always will.

-Will

Captain Gideon29 May 2015 11:39 a.m. PST

That's fine with me Will I'm okay with that and how you feel about Jar Jar is how I feel about C3P0.
