"If you really want to turn this movie around, you have got to get Jar Jar in there, and not just a supporting role. Maybe it's a Jar Jar movie now." Meesa thinks it's a long shot.
In a recent Funny or Die clip, Jar Jar Binks makes a plea to Ron Howard to be added into the Han Solo spin-off after it was announced this week the Apollo 13 director was taking the reins.
Jar Jar is in disguise for the nearly two-minute faux clip in which he praises Howard's work and says he knows the mostly unpopular Phantom Menace character would be a great addition.
"The best choice would be to put Jar Jar in the movie," says Jar Jar with his voice changed. "Jar Jar Binks is a beloved character who is in great shape right now."

Everybody loves Solo. I even liked reading the Han Solo books. I think none of them are canon anymore. Disney swept them all away with one swoop, but he is quite interesting in them. If they made films of these books though, I would watch them. Wouldn’t say the same for these JJ Abrams films, which seem to just be ripping off the original 3 movies with very little creativity. Even the science fiction in the films, which were never meant to be realistic of course even in the originals, is so stupid as to be unbearable, like with the Super Death Star or whatever shooting its lasers from billions of light years away, striking 3 or 4 planets in the middle of the galaxy within minutes. People actually stand there and watch the beams as they strike, even from planets no where near the Star Killer base.
I was hoping for a Han Solo/Lando Action Comedy which would basically be Lethal Weapon in Space (but with crooks instead of cops). Seems like the original team of Lord/Miller went too far with the comedy I suppose. Ron Howard is a solid director though I don’t know why he would step in for 3 weeks worth of shooting on a film he had no input on before hand. Id rather Ron do an entire Star Wars movie himself.
Would be interesting to see how the movie turns out. Might be a total mess
> “Maybe they should add Howard the Duck to the movie.
Howard the Duck made a cameo appearance in the latest “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie.
I’d pay money to see someone split Jar Jar Bink’s head open with a rusty pick axe.
Sad thing is that he could have been a... more tolerable character if he’d just had some character development instead of just being a funny-talking LOLCLUMSY.
It'd be interesting to see if he tried to sneak in any American Graffiti references. An alien with a Wolfman Jack cut to his facial hair, perhaps (well, everyone would read that as a jab at Lucas, these days...)
Not everybody. I hated the Solo character at first sight, grew to hate it so much I edited him out of my videotapes and applauded when his evil brat finally impaled him. The more Solo is talked up the more I loathe him. So there goes your general assumption.
Yeah that sux.
I saw Ron Howard in a movie he other night.and I really liked his performance. Our local old theatre that’s struggling had a free filming of The Music Man and Howard’s character did not make any profound political remarks as he was only 5 or 6 .
