Rifftrax versus Jar Jar

  • Опубліковано 27 кві 2010
  • As the conclusion* to my Best of Rifftrax Star Wars UA-cam series, I present a compilation of Mike Nelson and Kevin Murphy saying what we're all thinking about Jar Jar Binks in The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, as an expression of just how badly Lucas ruined the Star Wars universe by making the prequels.
    For more Rifftrax, go to www.rifftrax.com
    *EDIT: Okay, I ended up adding three more Star Wars Rifftrax videos. What can I say? I'm weak...

    Everytime Jar Jar is on screen he successfully destroys the emotional tone of the scene - something which movies need. Boy did Lucas fuck these films up.

      +Matt Otter I think Jar-Jar was basically the standard-bearer for everything that was wrong with the prequels. It wasn't that he was the worst of any one thing, but he was just so bad in so many ways that he draws the majority of fire.

He was actually in a state of mind where he thought Jar Jar would win over the fans. He was completely out of touch with reality.

He really was a genius storytellter and filmaker. I think people who say he has too much control don't realize that he has always had plenty of control. A lot more than most directors. I think reading this book really opened my eyes but has also made his change to schlocky, poorly written movies a mystery.
