Bloody hell that was terrifying!

For me, the Binks jokes got stale about a decade ago.

Him dangling off the X-Wing was great.

Oh, same here. I've never hated the prequel trilogy as much as many others, although I could have done with out him for sure. But I couldn't help to laugh at this!!

And YES! My favorite part, no doubt.

Maybe I didn't see what you guys saw as I found zero humor in that.

The surprise part with the Darth Vader helmet is hilarious. Definitely wasn't expecting that.

I love Jar Jar as a character, so that was awesome. It'd be funny if he were still alive by the events of Episode VII, as a nod to unique things being hard to kill.

I love the prequels except for Jar Jar in TPM and the Anakin/Padme courtship in AOTC. But in all seriousness, I actually would be interested in seeing him in a cameo in the new trilogy if he's still alive. In fact I'd love for them to revisit a few prequel planets and characters if they could.

A cameo of him as a broken down hobo would be great. With his tongue cut out so he cannot speak. Old gambling debt.

Wow. Just wow. Whoever made this did some incredible work adding him into the scenes. ILM should consider hiring him/her on as a compositor.

Because he's funny, and serves a necessary purpose in contrasting the lighter tone of "Phantom Menace" with the darkness looming on the horizon.

He's funny the same way Alfred is funny in Battle of the Five Armies.

Jar Jar's funny how? I mean funny, like he's a clown? Jar Jar amuses you?

We'll like her.

She will probably be killed off or will have minimal roles in next episodes. They will not have a villain too iconic that will overshadow Darth Vader, at least in the main Skywalker saga. The same reason why Maul and the rest never lived long enough.

That was posted a few pages back.

That was when Lucas was in charge though. With JJ at the helm, and him wanting to stick so closely to certain things which made the original such a success, I find it hard to believe that he'd ignore the one thing that the prequels missed so very, very badly: a proper villain, one that's actively propelling the story and engaging with the good guys.

Yes, the prequels had Palpatine but he was literally a Phantom Menace right until the very end of the trilogy, and his various apprentices were mere cyphers that foretold Anakin's ultimate fate (Dooku is the fallen Jedi, Grievous is the cyborg, Maul gets sliced up by Obi-Wan) so they mean very little to the overarching plot and are a big factor re: the disjointed feel of the PT from movie to movie. As with so much of what Lucas did in the PT, it's rich with themes and symbolism but it doesn't add up to an enthralling movie experience.

I don't care if Vader's toes get trodden on, Ep VII needs a stronger villain (or villains) than, say, the bloody Trade Federation, and they also need to be carried through this next trilogy, not killed off after one movie.

And y'know what'd be the icing on the cake? Seeing the streaking starfield hyperdrive effect again. Lucas didn't put it in the PT because he wanted to leave something for the OT, which is a noble concept but - as with the lack of a proper villain or a Han Solo type rogue - by removing such a key visual touchstone he further disassociated the movie from the original Star Wars. Heck, maybe that was the whole point...
