Spoiler Space . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Doesn't it just figure that Jar Jar Binks is responsible for the downfall of the Republic? Having Jar Jar make the motion to give Palpatine emergency powers must be Lucas' revenge on the fans who hated Jar Jar in the first film.

Actually, the legistlation would still have been introduced by someone, even if Jar Jar wasn't present. At that point, Darth Sideous had actual or political control of most of the senators. I think at least a majority. He would have someone do it. Jar Jar made a perfect candidate. He is a general. A war hero of his peaple. A member of a supressed peaple. The supressors, "the trade federation" joined with Count Douku and the separatists. Having Jar Jar make the announcement gave the legistlation (and Palpiteen) a lot of political clout. Just My Humble Opinion (JMHO)

Let's not forget Binks is also of the same planet as Palpatine. Nor should we forget that Binks only contact with Palpatine was during the war, when Palpatine seemed to be on their side, and even Amindala trusted Palpatine. > At 04:20 AM 5/25/02 -0400, you wrote:

Um...Sorry... It's just that I hear so many peaple dis-ing Jar Jar without considering his role in the movies. (besides...I like Jar Jar...8D) Donald Hosford > Mark Reindl wrote: > Um, guys? I was j/k, I never thought this would turn into a serious
