Jar Jar didn't die!

*Spoiler warning: the title gave away something about the movie.* I spent a little time reflecting on the movie and what was cool and what was dissappointing and Jar Jar popped up in my head. You know, as much as I hated him in the first movie, I was fine with him in this one. He never spoke or did any of his stupid antics (they gave them to R2D2 instead, but he is cute so it only hurt a little). He ended fitting into the movie very well. The first time you see him he is scenery...he looks like he fits in with the senate...which later when Palpatine convinces the senate losing democracy is good you realize that hey, Jar Jar does fit in, they are all easily led idiots. But at the end is when he Jar Jar really comes into play. It is a sad scene, a funeral procession for a character I lost all interest in while watching this movie (ie, untouched by their death) and you see him there in the funeral procession...and it just makes you sad and a little angry he is still around. He actually ADDS to a scene!!!

Man...

And I was so aching for the house cleaning of the Senate. It's a shame they made R2d2 into the house comic relief. This made up a lot for I and II. Oh well, now we just wait for VII, VIII, and IX. You know he's going to make them.
