    And it’s like we sent Jar Jar Binks to negotiate for us.

    Sigh. An administration both evil and incompetent. I swear, the U.S. has had such bad luck with its recent government you’d think we’d built the nation on an ancient Indian burial ground or something…

      Jar Jar is a fine diplomat in universe. JD is unironically worse than Jar Jar is in canon.

        It was a skill that Jar Jar had to learn. One of several, in fact. Watching the Clone Wars, he goes from being an incompetent clown to a competent one.

        He was supposed to be a sith lord which makes this comparison even funnier

          That’s just a fan theory, but I never bought into it. I just don’t find it convincing. Was it ever confirmed?

            Lucas chickened out. He’s the only director I know to makes multiple changes to a film post release.

            With Jar Jar there’s an interview soon after the first prequel where he heavily implies and says Jar Jar will be important

              Implying “Jar Jar will be important” is not the same as declaring him a Sith lord.

              He was important, because he nominated Palpatine to be chancellor. He was key to the plot, unbeknownst to himself. That’s because he was silly and gullible, not evil…
