If Lucas had just pulled the trigger on Jar Jar being the Big Bad as he'd ben set up to be, we'd be calling the Jar Jar stuff in TPM genius.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

It is odd in light of how the black actor felt.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

At the time I didn't care for the character. I don't know if I ever hated him, though. I saw that Jar Jar was the next generation's Ewoks that I loved so much and others despised. I kept that more or less indifferent attitude to him for years as it gradually softened. There was a Jar Jar appearance in a more recent book that has now made me really appreciate and even like the character.

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

The lazy use of race stereotypes was one of the many problems with the movie.
