I will add an extra unpopular opinion, Jar Jar was a character I enjoyed.

I liked him as a kid. Honestly, C-3PO is almost as annoying in the original trilogy and worse in Attack of the Clones.

Is there a cut of Phantom Menace where Jar Jar doesn't talk that I don't know about?
Not to my knowledge

C-3PO was effeminate and mannered and cowardly and occasionally incompetent but at least he did not talk like someone with brain injuries caused by excessive defenestration. Jar Jar would stand out in a bad kids cartoon.
Your point being?

Jar Jar is worse on a scale they could use to map out stars' lives.

He is still better than Jake Lloyd.

After having watch Rogue One a second time, I have come to the end of my deliberations.

The Empire Strikes Back
A New Hope

Return of the Jedi
The Force Awakens
Attack of the Clones
Rogue One
Revenge of the Sith
The Phantom Menace


Whatever you think about the acting (or the actual writing), I've decided that Clone Wars had the best plot of the three movies, with Revenge bearing a greater portent but suffering from ghastly, unbelievable character arcs.

I am not sure Rogue One is in the right place but at least for now I am at peace with its colour.

Do you mean Attack of the Clones? Isn't "The Clone Wars" an animated series or something?

I can't fathom how people despise REVENGE OF THE SITH.

I must be tired.

I can't fathom how people despise REVENGE OF THE SITH.

I don't despise it, but the entire plot hinges on a character arc that makes no sense.
