7. Jar Jar's Intelligence Questioned
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbrpqWkNqyo THE QUOTE: The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. THE SPEAKER: Qui-Gon Jinn THE FILM: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace THE BACKGROUND: Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice Obi-Wan Kenobi have just escaped from the Trade Federation Viceroy Gunrays ship and find themselves on Naboo. Unluckily for them (and for us) they soon bump into bumbling Gungan Jar Jar Binks, quite possibly the most reviled character in Star Wars history. At one point, Jar Jar thanks the Jedi for saving his life, for which Qui-Gon berates him for almost getting them killed and asks if hes brainless. I spake, Jar Jar says, to which Qui-Gon Jinn curtly replies with the above words. If only theyd dumped Jar Jar back in the forest. Or the planets core.
