   I thought he was poorly handled in TPM but I liked him okay in AotC. I   
   didn't *mind* that he was nothing more than an extra in Ep3 though I would   
   have liked to see some closure for the character. But I guess Lucas was   
   content to leave him with the honor of being the idiot that introduced the   
   single most bone-headed piece of legislation in the history of the Galactic   
   Republic.

   And even that bite sounded like it was tracked in from somewhere else (the   
   dinner scene in TPM?)   
      
   And it even looked like a Jar-Jar standin did that shot. The real Jar-Jar is   
   CGI. The Gungan in that shot didn't look like CGI. He looked like an extra   
   wearing a hard plastic immovable Gungan mask.
