Jar Jar Binks is a sad example of Lucas's infatuation with technology getting the better of him. It's certainly impressive that he was able to insert a completely CGI character. But just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it. Unfortunately, Jar Jar was completely superfluous to the story. Rather than providing comic relief, his presence simply annoying; it took away from the story and was inconsistent with its tone.

What the movie needed was the witty reality-check that Han Solo provides. Instead, we got Jar Jar's lame attempt at slapstick, in a manner to which few could relate (I fail to find his malapropisms amusing). There was a collective groan when "many" of us discovered that Jar Jar will be even more unnecessarily inserted into the second episode. I can't wait.
