Well if anything can redemm Jar Jar
Doescher tackles the prequels, and you can see why the prequels are not as good as the originals.
However, Doescher does neat thing with Jar-Jar and using the colonialist attitudes of the Jedi to do it.
Still, don't understand why if a Jedi can mind trick someone out of something that he needs, he can't break a slave out.
