alt.fan.starwars.jar-jar-binks.die.die.die - Urging the painful death
of Jar Jar Binks

Charter:
This newsgroup will be dedicated to and urging the agonizing death of
the computer generated character Jar Jar Binks

Justification:
 Star Wars: Episode One: The Phantom Menace is one of the most
anticipated movies in history, if not *the* most anticipated. However,
the extreme hype surrounding the opening of the movie has led to
depression in some circles as expectations were not met.

 There are thousands of diverse opinions on how good the movie
is - some people feel the movie is the greatest thing since sliced
bread, while others believe that George Lucas has obviously lost his
mind. In almost all quarters, however, there is agreement that one of
the flaws in the movie is the computer generated character Jar Jar
Binks. Designed as comic relief, he is so overdone that it is not
unknown that audience members will wince at his antics, if not clutch
themselves in physical pain.

 This group will have two purposes - to allow George Lucas to
understand how annoying the character is, which hopefully will prevent
similar errors in Episodes Two and Three. As a secondary goal (with a
lower probability of success, but almost as great a payoff for the
fans as the success of goal one), the users of the group will express
thier desire for Jar Jar Binks to die a horrible, agonizing death.
