Meh I got over Jar Jar a long time ago, plus his only two scenes of significance in AOTC was when he basically became the key reason why Palpatine won in the end.

Mas Ammeda - "Jeez war is coming, we need a army"
Palpatine - "Yeah I don't have the power to approve that"
MA - "Well the only way to do it is to give you kindly uncorruptable Palpatine emergency powers"
Palpatine - buttering a roll - "Nobody has the balls to do that"
MA - reading woodenly off the script - "If only Amidala was here, she'd have the balls, like two big brass ones"

Jar Jar - "Meesa got the balls"

Next scene

Jar Jar - "I move for giving the Chanceller the power to destroy the Republic"

MA and Palpatine give each other low fives .

How can you not love the fact that George knew that Jar Jar was a huge misfire and made him stupid enough to be played like that.
