They were all pretty bad but I ain't gonna kinkshame

They all have some degree of Jar Jar.
Episode 2 is the one where Jar Jar inadvertently ushers in the rise of fascism in the galaxy.
Case in point, I believe Topher Grace's super edit of all the prequels into 1 film has about 10 minutes of footage from the Phantom Menace.
briefly I think?
They were all bad, but the second one stood out to me.
Well, he said the words, but the system as a whole voted in the emperor.
I mean, I ain't gonna hate on anyone for disliking the movies, but god damn the tide of hatred for them, and the atmosphere of "you are wrong if you like them" that have surrounded them for years, is not something I can endorse.
Jar Jar is in Episode 2 a lot.
Episode 3 is the one where they make him stand in the corner and look sad because he inadvertently ushered in the rise of fascism in the galaxy.
Yes, but Jar Jar was the first lemming off the cliff, which means it's all his fault.
I have, in decent quantities.
I have to say that I enjoy sweet potatoes in tot form more than fry form.
Isn't that a colloidal suspension?
It's been a long time since I last took a science class
Wasn't it Palpatine who made him a senator? Or Amidala on Palpatine's suggestion? Been a while since I've seen the movies (any if the first six), so I can't remember all the details.
Of course, Palpatine was a trusted senator of Naboo for years beforehand, to build up the political trust his plan would require. Playing a long game, he was.
You went down the hole.
You went down the hole, and I'm not going down into the hole to drag you back out.
Enjoy the hole.
so maybe he's the real hero
Yeah, that attitude is exactly what I hate about discussing Star Wars.
I think it's more a general "without the rise of the empire, Han Solo wouldn't have gotten to do the cool things he does in eps 4 and on" thing.
Because Jar Jar was a Sith doing what he thought Amidala wanted, you see.
I'm (mostly) kidding; at this point I'm past being angry or disappointed at the prequels.
I just find I have a better time laughing at some most of the narrative decisions they made.
Yo, let's be clear, Han Solo would still be getting up day after day and kicking the galaxy's ass regardless of whatever Jar Jar Binks was getting up to back in the swamp.
Alright. Sorry if I was being overly confrontational about it. I've just had a bit too much of that over the years.
he would have had a boring job though, like garbage man or something though
Nah, that's a fair reaction, and sometimes I take the bit too far. Nothing to apologize for.
Can Solo
Have you seen the kinda stuff Star Wars garbage men have to deal with? Trash compactor monsters, man!
Except for that scene in Episode II, I think it was, where Amidala and Anakin are rolling around in the grass or whatever.
That scene is straight up unwatchable.
Every time somebody litters on the surface of Mustafar, those dudes have to get in those environment suits and go pick it up.
Just because the planet's already a lava-covered shithole doesn't mean it has to be a dirty lava-covered shithole.

I fucking love me some croutons. Get that nice satisfying crunch, and they've got carbs so that's cool. Best croutons are the ones that people make themselves from loaves of bread instead of the pre-packaged ones which are Just Okay.
You know like the flying moneylender with the big nose or them Fu Manchu aliens

It's got Obi Noir Kenobi and space monster gladiatorial games
My nemesis!
Well, I guess they're better than sweat potato fries!
