Jar Jar is the reason Anakin Skywalker turned to the dark side.
Episode 1 was the last Star Wars movie for me.
It turned me to the dark side. I kept yelling to anyone on screen, "Take your weapon! Strike him down and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!"
All you missed in II & III were convoluted situations that had no cause and effect relation, incredibly wooden acting and a heaping helping of Muppetry.
