Well if anything can redemm Jar Jar

William Shakespeare's Forsooth, the Phantom Menace: Star Wars Part the First - Ian Doescher

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.
