I just love the idea of an evil drunken warrior style gungan character. Totally gonna use that.

I read that theory today, and absolutely loved it. I know I am going to be watching them from a new light now.

Also made me want to pick up this RPG and play as a Gungan

The human brain is incredible in detecting patterns, almost addicted to it, so it will detect patterns, even if there are none to be found. Look at ants-soccer on old television (no idea what that's called in english) for a few seconds and your brain will find patterns and shapes and so on and so forth.

This is what this is, the enjoyment of looking at the movies differently, you could almost say it's true...from a certain point of view.

Of course, this isn't the type of theory that sets itself up as an "only truth", but it is interesting and very entertaining how long you can follow that train of thought.

My obvious criticism with Darth Binks would be that I don't think that GL would change his lifes work, his big baby, his epic legacy so utterly completely because some people didn't like JarJar.

Also, even IF the ring theory were completely true...then the argument still stands that he was unable/unwilling to produce something new.

And the ring theory is probably true to some extent, not that GL thought about it at that extent probably. It's supposed to be repeating topics, certain scenes, sentences and situations that keep going, and that could've been amazingly portrayed...he just lost his film making edge after ep VI and it slipped somewhere under his chin where even indy wouldn't find it.

You know... if this was ever going to be true, I think the Jar Jar Binks character has been received so badly that it's too late for that to ever be canon. I can not imagine a scene where the PC's in my game finally get to unmask the BBEG that they've pursued through loss and sacrifice only to find Jar Jar's face looking back at them. The only way I could ever get away with that is if it happens to be April 1... and that's just 4 people! If I tried to pull this off on MILLIONS of people watching the next trilogy of movies over at least half a decade... WARS HAVE STARTED FOR LESS!

So, basically you're saying that "how dare movies have a deeper meaning than what is on the surface" or even "how dare someone write a movie for people with IQs higher than 60"

No, what he's saying is, "If your movie sucks, it doesn't help much that it's very clever on some technical level." If he had pulled off a good trilogy, all these levels of mythological depth would be icing on the cake. Even debating about whether they exist would be fun. Except he didn't. The prequels feel like a train wreck with some great moments (okay, I think RotS is a decent movie with serious issues). The result, of course, is people making pretty amazing leaps of logic to explain why a lousy film isn't.

What I love most about this theory is the uncontrollable rage it has unleashed for some reason. HIGH-LARIOUS!
