Modern media likes to blame the fans for being toxic, but it was publications saying Jar Jar was a racist caricature and a stain on cinema.

Yeah, back in the day before the internet we used horse bound courier mail to deliver the behind the scenes footage to the local library, and the entire town would gather on sundays after church to watch. You could also look up the credits of a movie if you used your telegraph to contact the Board Of Filmactic Credit And Surveilled Character Appearance, providing the line was clear.

There have been countless actors in countless bad movies; many of which made them much for famous/infamous; who didn't kill themselves over it. Let alone bring up and advertise the fact that they apparently ALMOST killed themselves over it years and years later.

Tl;dr nobody straight up kills themselves because they played an unpopular or poorly-received character in a fuckin' movie or TV show. If he WAS actually genuinely considering suicide at the time (the whole natrative could literally just be a drama-queen act to bait sympathy, who the fuck knows), then I can tell you without a doubt that it wasn't EXCLUSIVELY because he played the live-action base for a CGI cartoon rabbit-man in a shitty movie. He instead had other, more serious things going on in his life at the time that he's simply not comfortable with sharing or admitting to (drug-use, his SO cheating on him, etc.)

what happened is that he took professional critics and comedians making fun of jarjar retardedly personally

Its astonishing no one working on Phantom Menace had any idea how annoying this character was. I guess Lucas was so completely surrounded by "yes men" that he could have put a CG turd as a character in the movie and no one would have said anything.

>>220843916
the interesting thing is that lucas is afaik pretty ok with criticism if it's really in the interest of the movie. I remember the composer for The Clone wars show was auditioning and he heard the temp track lucas had put down. lucas had been listening toa lot of hip-hop and was trying to put hip-hop in the score to the show. and the composer who didn't know any better said, idk mr. lucas it sounds like power rangers to me and i think kids won't like this. everyone in the room gasped but lucas thought about it and said, maybe you're right. but everyone else in the room just wanted to ride his coattails. incredible that no one had the independence to tell lucas that with jarjar.
>>

That sucks.

>>220843393
All the fans I knew hated Jar Jar, but, I never sent any letters, or threatened the actor. To be honest, the actor never even popped into my head. I don’t understand why you would lay the sin of Jar Jar at this guys feet, when it was retard George Lucas, that bumble fucked the movies, yet again.

The people blaming the fans for this guys problems are always sequel and prequel fags, sequel fags do it to claim "Star Wars was always toxic" while prequel fags rage against the imaginary gen x trolls who poisoned the well against poor Jar Jar.

This guy is such a fucking faggot for reacting the way he did and still trying to play it for sympathy.
Absolutely no one blamed him for Jar Jar and id argue most people didn't even realize there was an actor behind the character.
Whenever Jar Jar is brought up the blame is focused squarely on Lucas(as it should be).
He clearly had issues if he tried to kill himself because people shat on the CGI rabbit he played in a movie. The fact that this is celebrated as being brave is fucking disgusting.
>>
>>220843769
>If he WAS actually genuinely considering suicide at the time (the whole natrative could literally just be a drama-queen act to bait sympathy, who the fuck knows)
For whatever its worth his i think his suicide story was mentioned in the Dobson comic years ago, so its not a new story.
>>
>>220844588
>lucas had been listening toa lot of hip-hop and was trying to put hip-hop in the score to the show.
This might be a sign of a healthy mind in old age. Always trying new things.
I'm glad he didn't put it in though. I don't think he would even like it a decade later after his temporary fascination with topical music wore off.

Well you're in luck faggot, 20 years later, nobody gives a fuck about Star Wars anymore either way. So you are hereby released from your burden. You're welcome. You might want to take the time to thank KK, Rian, and JJ too for doing their part.
>>
>>220846209
Plus he was playing a CGI character doing a goofy cartoon voice. It's not like people would have spotted him in public and been like, "HEY IT'S THAT NIGGER WHO RUINED STAR WARS! GIT 'IM!"
>>
>>220845989
Jar Jar is actually what Irish people are really like.
>>
Mad how if they started making the prequels a few years later, Gollum and Davey Jones would have made George's push to make a CGI character completely redundant, and he likely wouldn't have made JarJar.

You'd be surprised. Racists can spot a minority from a show they don't even watch on his way to Subway during a Polar Vortex.
>>
None of the criticism was directed towards him though, I don't think I could have even told you who played Jar Jar before reading that tweet. No-one could have done better (or worse) with that character, there's no universe where Ian McKellan played Jar Jar and everyone adores the performance.

He wasn't that old in 2007, but I've always got the sense that Lucas is a curious person that likes learning about things. I can't vouch for how stubborn he is or isn't in his personal life, but his work suffers from tunnel vision and taste more than anything else.

>>220843345
the actor did a great job portraying him and bringing him to life. the writers and character creator are to blame for making a bad character who sucks. its not the actor's fault. even if it was christopher walken (which IS utterly HILARIOUS to think about), the character wouldnt magically become good.

i wanted to be just like him when i was kid, since he was only a year older than me. i imagined that starwars success would create a career for him that i could watch grow and develop from the beginning (unlike old, established actors), and i could live vicariously through him. its a shame what happened to him.

This is why Jar Jar got written out of episode 2&3. Lucas knew and he couldn't risk a Heath Ledger moment shifting all attention from the saga.

George let him in on the Darth Jar-Jar arch plans. Then he sidelined Jar-Jar after the criticism. It broke this buck's back.

Being a child is blaming Jar Jar for that movie being awful.

Being an adult is realizing that everything else is far, far worse.

Being an autistic adult is thinking the phantom menace was good actually.
