... But is an integral part.

Jar Jar Binks is

fundamental part of the whole saga.

Meesa proposes...

... That the Senate give immediately

emergency powers...

... The Supreme Chancellor.

He is the deciding vote to give

many powers to the Emperor.

FRANKIE FRAIN:

Creator George Lucas by LOTR

You know Luke says, "Drop dead."

But thanks, George,

for out of the second film...

JoBlo [Alias?BERGE Garabedian]

JoBlo.com

... Or at least only include

five minutes. We appreciate it.

Sometimes listening.

But that takes Episode II

where Jar Jar first appears...

Anakin meets... and all...

... and approaches,

looks at the camera and seems to smile...

... As saying:
"I'm still here, folks.

I know you hate me, but I will go. "

What are they trying to do?

You really try to get angry?

I like his arrogance that makes

continue with the character...

THE STAR WARS:

EXCLUSIVE FOR SUBSCRIBERS

... And it will Episode II

and Episode III ...

And will not give...

the desire of followers.

I think he thinks

that is true to its principles.

I had 3PO cry out against Jar Jar...

... and took notes

tone down at first.

Then I saw coming from George notes:

"No, 3PO should be tougher with Jar Jar.

KEVIN RUBIO:

Writer Clone Wars

You should treat it like the fans. "

As a fan of burlesque

and mixture of genres...

I like to watch... seriously

of the Force...

Comedy... and a Gungan trying

eating fruit in the same shot.

This combination seems to me successful...

... Because one does not negate the other.

Jar-Jar Binks is proof to me...

Lucas... that still has things

that show...

Still want to risk......

CROS RENAN:

Film scholar and writer

... And not see it as a

exaggerated character.

Is an experiment

it connotes a persistent desire...

Giving a show...

to the public.

The problem with Jar Jar Binks

not the character.

It is with you, the fans,

they have forgotten what it was to be children.

- Kids like Jar Jar!

- Why?

What about the Ewoks?

They were rubbish. Not complain of them.

Yeah, but Jar Jar Binks makes

that the Ewoks look like Shaft.

- Kids like Jar Jar.

- Prequel... Yes

I had to dress like that monster

and go to the birthday.

I think people your age

hates Jar Jar...

NOAH BEN DEPSKY:

New generation

... Because it's a new character.

It is one of the new characters.

RICH ROY:

Older generation

- How about Jar Jar?

- Jar Jar, yes.

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK

I think it's funny.

I also like the name.

SOFIA MEDAROVA:

New generation

Your parent agrees with you?

Do you what you are?

I do not like as much as you.

SIMON YOUNG:

Previous generation

Have tastes sweetest child, right?

Have a more mellow life.

WILL ANDREWS:

Comedian

Perhaps Jar Jar is a genius.

Who knows?

You were not there at first.

You do not know what is good and important it was.

That's all for you...

Toys... this ad exaggerated.

People like you make me sick.

What is it?

My friend who has a child of 7 years

loves Star Wars .

But for him,

everything is Wars .

Episodes I-VI, The Clone Wars

and video games.

What Luke did well for us...

Seems to continue to do well...

for children today.

What you love about the movies?

Me?

I like that.

Movies are not competing, right?

It is condescending way...

Because it makes these movies...

for children.

- What has been said many times.

- Yes

George said:

"These films are for kids.

I make them for children. "

And when we loved the trilogy

original, we were kids.

Does George or old age is upon us?

Should we, as adults,

understand what it does as a filmmaker...

... Or should have made films

for people who matured...

... And enjoyed the first?

I think that

that is made for children...

... And that's why I did not understand,

is nonsense.

Yes, it is difficult to know

if you really believe that...

Or taken by surprise...

and had to give a reason.

If the child did, what they

care about the Trade Federation...

Fees and charges...

and sessions of the Senate and...?

I tried to explain to my 5 year old

on the trade embargo.

- Is distracting.

- Yes... It was thus

One word sums

all that is wrong...

Insulted... and how all

fans, "midi-chlorians."

Midi-chlorians.

- Talk about it.

- Midi-chlorians.

- I also like.

- Midi-chlorians.

And the Force?

They are microscopic bacteria...

In your blood...

which are called midi-chlorians.

If you do not take this seriously, I go.

When Obi-Wan Kenobi introduces

the concept of the Force...

JOHN C. WRIGH Science fiction author

Describes it as... an energy field

that binds the galaxy.

The public knows that talk

a psychic field.

A FIELD OF ENERGY

THAT GIVES POWER

Talk about something spiritual .

It's a lovely idea,

a lovely notion.

Then reduced to a biological factor.

Take Force...

... that is supposed to be linked

to your sense of spirituality...

... and your moral code...

... and transforms

in a mess inherited from your parents.

What a nonsense!

It is like painting the face of God.

PETER HANSON:

Director of Tales from the Crypt

You have midi-chlorians , not you.

Panel Worldcon 2009

Montreal, Quebec

You will never be a Jedi

no matter how hard you try. Thank you.

Everyone who grew up with the series

original had that moment...

... to sit in the room

without admitting...

... and trying to lift something

with the power of your mind.

It's accessible then.

DAVID BRIN:

Author of The Postman

Mutants was not something...

... Superheroes, demigods.

It was something tangible.

How to say:

"Look how much religion you have.

See how much spirit and faith you have. "

- But the idea of?the Force...

- It's ruined.

NAR WILLIAMS - TV Presenter

BOO FRIEDMANN - Screenwriter

- No, it - Ruined?

- Yes

What essentially teaches the Force?

Live without fear, without anger.

Do good for yourself and others.

Be opened.

My blood tests

says I can not do that.

That is nonsense.

It's like the Scientologists and their tetanes.

Enough. No Scientologists goals.

You can not worry

what others think.

For example, Wars

is my story, as my house is my home.

And if I want to paint my house green...

Even if everyone thinks...

should be red.

I'm going to paint Jar Jar.

I think Wars

original, or at least...

... A New Hope

and The Empire Strikes Back are great...

And have made...

in collaboration with other people.

When George decided to face

the prequels and do it in a vacuum...

I do not think... that's the best way

to work for an artist.

It's over a certain level of criticism.

He spent the idea of?a

true collaboration.

This is about a channeling

internal stories...

... Who have been on your mind

for a long time.

I wanted to control my work...

... And that people do not change.

It's fun

because I do not answer to anyone.

Nobody tells me what to do.

I earned it.

If you have a film empire

to help you make movies...

What's the point...

if you do not feed back?

I think he took something wonderful

and maintain control over that...
