For the most part gungans are isolationists and have no interest in the affairs of people that live above the surface.

Trust me, I too wish you could play a gungun.

 

Also, please play on a pvp server.

Ok, I have two questions. Will Naboo be added as a playable planet/warzone for Empire? And second, will Gungans be killable there?

 

-gets ready for a huntin' trip-

The lore here centers around 3k yrsi n the past not current era sw

 

and gungans were stupid

It was Simpon Pegg in Spaced that said Jar Jar Binks made the Ewoks look like Shaft.

 

So true.

 

Jar Jar blows more than Bieber. FACT

Somehow, I get the really bad feeling that Gungans in the game would do for Star Wars what the Pandaren Race will do for the new World of Warcraft expansion in a few months, or whenever they release it. Maybe this bad feeling I get leads to no where, but more likely, it would lead to no where good. Edited December 14, 2011 by Everepic

I thought Jar Jar Binks was much better comic relief than C3PO. That droid always really annoyed me.

Jar Jar Binks. Seriously, he wasn't that bad and I'm kinda sad we can't play a Gungan. No logical reason that I can see that the race wouldn't be able to join the Jedi Order. The only class I can't see them as are Troopers.

 

Thoughts?

 

George Lucas has been actively D-bagging Star Wars for a long time. When updated special effects versions came out in boxed sets on VHS in the 90's they force-fed the Director's interviews in front of every fricking tape. That's how full of himself this guy is.

 

Jar Jar Binks is the visual characterization of George Lucas' D-baggery.

When meesa think of JarJar Binky, meesa wanna use force chokey chokey on my my freakin self...

I hated Jar Jar at first, back in the days. But I must say that the character has kind of grown on me over the years. Still not loving him. But hey, we hardly see him in Ep 2 or 3. And in The Clone Wars he's better portrayed, imo.

I don't like Jar Jar because he is pretty much a Racial Stereotype...

I grew up with the Original Trilogy, and in my opinion jar was not that bad. he had his comic moments and very annoying moments. But like someone pointed out, he was meant for kids. The vast majority of people who saw EI and loathed him where teenagers and adults. Kids liked him not all but a great amount did.

There is nothing wrong with Jar Jar. He may not be awesome but he's just the innocent, clumsy archetype.

Honestly, how is it that a half bear, half urang utan that communicates only in growls, has long hair on his paws and somehow manages to be a pretty fine mechanic nonetheless, gets praised as a wonderful character and Jar Jar gets all the hate?

 

The massive automatic hate that poor character is given just shows how many people just mindlessly parrot the consensus.

 

Hey now, the difference between Chewie and Jar-Jar is immense, Chewie isnt designed as any real racial stereotypes...I half waited for Jar-Jar to say "mastah" and start dancing minstrel somewhere in the first movie. Chewie also did things purposefully. Jar-Jar stumbled his way through one battle, was influenced into setting up the Empire, etc. etc. Frankly there is no comparison. While we never understood what Chewie said, you cant remove his character from the universe and get the same series. You remove Jar-Jar and the same cant be said.

Jar jar was added specifically for kids, its been stated many times, of course adults are not going to connect with the character, even dislike him, but as far as i'm aware kids like him and thats what matters.

And to add some meaning to the character as a whole, as many of you are aware, jar jar is the linchpin to the birth of the empire itself and one more thing that should be considered, remember how clumsy he is yet always manages to get through any situation? in a universe where there is no coincidence only the force, its clear the force is always working through jar jar. From a philosophical stand point i quite like that idea as it relates to the force having a sense of humor and the force always looking out for fools and little children.

Jar Jar is da devil!....But seriously The Lucas fails at cute and annoying

ewoks were better . Jar Jar annoyed lots and lots of people and thats why his role was limited in other two movies..I was kinda hoping someone kill him in 2 or 3..preferably anakin but it didnt happen

<-----STILL wants Naboo to be a playable planet for Empire or a Warzone with a bunch of Gungans for hunting...

 

-starts cleaning my huntin' rifle just in case-

I never could understand the claim that jar jar is a racial stereotype. To this day i can't figure out what race that would be.

 

And jar jar is both useless and boring but when that harmless if inept character inspires hatred.....there is something else going on...something explained less by jar jar than by the viewer.

 

I'm also with whoever said that Jar Jar is no more annoying than the loud and repetitive senseless mawing of chewbacca over films 5 and 6. I wanted to hit the mute button every time chewy appeared on-screen

Thanks to Jar Jar, Ewoks are not the least liked anymore.

 

Would anyone take a Gungan smuggler seriously?

I don't have hate for Binks, but I do think his time in the story should have ended after taking Obi Wan and Anakin to the Gun Gun city.

I can totally agree with that ^

 

 

just to find hundreds of people *hate* something or someone, and the reason isn't immediately clear to me.....i find that very disturbing.

first time i've ever ever heard talk of racism surrounding jar jar.

When the movie first came out the complaint was that Jar Jar Binks, seemed to resemble hollywoods potrayals of African Americans during their less PC days. Mainly it seemed a throwback to a rather negative era in films.

 

Lucas probably didn't intend it to come across as such, but it was how it was precieved by some.

Yeah i never understood the hate for Jar Jar or the Ewoks for that matter?

Maybe its because i watched the original trilogy when i was like 5 and loved the little teddy bears (Though now ive grown up and realised it could and should have been wookies im a bit annoyed...)

 

But Jar Jar i thought was great.

Thats probably just me still in my 8 year old mind lmao.

If we really want to talk about annoying characters. Anakin in the prequels pissed me off (up until the last half hour of III).

Padme needs to be shot. She annoys the hell out of me. Whiney cow.

I think Jar Jar was going to be executed by his own people for being completely lame.

umm this is to discuss star wars lol the last/first 3 episodes shouldn't even count and Jar Jar is the worst of it
