  1. Does it take an interview... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    to explain why someone would hate Jar Jar so much? I figured most people over ~12 would understand his feelings completely.

  2. I made a better competing "edit" of the movie by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    which highlights JarJar's zany antics and removes the parts that advance the story. I call it the JarJar Yes-Pleasy-Yessir Phantom Meesa-Likie-Likie Edit.

    Yeah, here's the transcription:

    Studio360: So you did that phantom edit thing?
    PhantomEditor: Yeah.
    S360: How come?
    PE: TPM was lame. Lucas is a capitalist dog. I made it seem like Anakin is more badass and less of a tool and I took out all of the Jar-Jar CG bullshit.
    S360: How did it get so big?
    PE: Internet.
    S360: Has George Lucas seen it?
    PE: He wanted to, but his legaltroids made him say he wouldn't. He should tho, cuz it's 31337.

    > Anakin's flitting slave-owner is supposed to be vaguely eastern European / Jewish, near as I can tell (accented, haggles over money, big nose -- I mean, Jesus Christ!).

    Yeah, but Jesus Christ is rarely portrayed with a big nose, despite the stereotypes.
