2. Jar Jar Binks - Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
Can lists jump the shark? Maybe that's where this one does, 'cause I'm suggesting a Jar Jar Binks spin-off, right? And this character, for all intents and purposes, is probably the most reviled movie character in the history of cinematic endeavour. Had the gungan doofus been part of another movie universe, I doubt the reception would've been quite so harrowing - and yet there he is, right smack bang in the middle of a Star Wars movie. Granted, we had the Ewoks before we had Jar Jar, but this is totally different: who genuinely thought this character would be met positively? Look at him, for God's sake, George. The Spin-Off: "The Bell Jar Jar" Imagine a world where Jar Jar Binks is no longer the reviled heap of gangle crap that everybody thinks he is: I'm talking about making a movie that redeems this character so throughly, that nobody even remember why or what the hatred was all about. "The Bell Jar Jar" is that movie. If somebody can make a movie that makes Jar Jar even 50% more likeable than he is now, then that person is the smartest human being alive. How to do it? Existential drama. Themes of clinical depression. Shunned by his friends and associate for being a douchebag of the highest order, this is how we bring Jar Jar back to the light: angst. If Darren Aronofsky isn't too busy, he's our man. And apparently Robert Pattinson is up for playing Jar Jar in a spin-off. That's not a joke. Seriously. Google it.
