Either way, he’s obviously from the east coas- umm, hemisphere?
Shapiro, Shlomo, what’s the difference?
What type of Jewish stereotype is “Pot belly, wife-beater, stubble, hangs out in a mechanic’s garage?” He seemed much more “Vongool!” than “Oi vey!” to me.
Earl Warren?
What, he can’t be mixed heritage - Jewish and Italian?
FWIW, I pegged Jewish. The “greedy Jew businessman” angle.
1st Level: We hate Jar Jar because he’s aggressively annoying, loud, unfunny, and he’s in seemingly every goddamn scene.
2nd Level: Despite taking up all that screen time, he’s totally useless both functionally (in terms of advancing the plot) and artistically – a transparently cynical attempt to appeal to little kids and sell them crappy toys.
3rd Level: Jar Jar’s presence therefore subconsciously highlights the fact that these are basically kids’ movies, and that it’s pretty silly of us to be so invested in the series in the first place.
Just checked the url… i found the Republican HQ…laughed so hard, but then…
Hail to Dark One, oh Jar Jar !!:smack:
Larry Borgia: No, you’re not the only one who hated the kid’s performance. That was the worst performance I’ve ever seen a child actor give on screen or stage. I hate Jar Jar for the reasons other posters have given, but the kid’s performance was the worst in the series and that’s saying something.
