One compound word: Jar-Jar

Rating: 3/10 (15 June 2003)

Here's a great idea: never let people see screentests with better actors than the one you chose. Jake Lloyd was easily the worst performance of a child actor in history. He made me root for Sebulba (spelling?) in the pod race. Forget the abomination of Jar-Jar Binks, let's talk about that rotten little kid. Why didn't Lucas CGI a kid in there? It couldn't have been worse, could it? Why didn't Liam Neeson do that weird fading thing ObiWan does in episode 3? Is there any logic to this stuff at all? I am seriously doubting it. Sheesh, I don't need to go too far into this flick--it'll take all week to discuss the bad...
