Hello,

I am conducting research for an animation studio here in Montreal, Canada
and we are looking for the best way to implement a saturday morning animated
series featuring Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars part 1.  Our own research
survey suggests that this character is received well by children between the
ages of 4 and 8.  This is the precise democraphic group for which our
advertisers wish to target the marketing for their products.  Initially, we
are looking to produce 28 episodes and distribute these to local markets and
hopefully expand to national and US-wide distribution.

As our negociations with Lucasfilm continue, we are conducting another
research poll to find out the public's perception of Jar Jar Binks and what
types of situations his fans would like to see this immensely popular
character involved in..

Please answer these questions to the newsgroup, so that our newsreader can
view these.

Anyone can answer these questions, as we intend to make this survey
demographically neutral for this time.

1.  If you are female and you lived in a multi-alien world, would you find
Jar Jar Binks attractive?
2.  If you are male, and your girl friend stopped seeing you in favor of Jar
Jar Binks, would you be jealous?
3.  Do you think that Jar Jar Binks is "cool"?
4.  If you answered no to question 3, would you think he was cool if he wore
sunglasses?
5.  Do you think a character like Jar Jar Binks would be appropriate to give
advice in an animated series to prevent homophobia?
6.  Do you consider Jar Jar Binks to be more like caucasians, africans or
asians? (or neither of these).
7.  If you answered yes to either questions 3 or 4, do you think that Jar
Jar Binks is more "cool" than Han Solo?
8.  Do you think that Queen Amidala should consider dating Jar Jar Binks
before Anakin gets older?
9.  If you answered yes to 7, do you wish that George Lucas would create
more special editions of the original trilogy so that Han Solo could be
replaced with Jar Jar Binks?
10.  Do you feel that Jar Jar Binks is politically correct?
11.  Do you dislike Jar Jar Binks?
12.  Do you think that Jar Jar Binks best represents your political views?
13.  Do you think that Jar Jar Binks was not given enough screen time in the
Phantom Menace?
14.  Did you watch the Phantom Menace for 1 or more times specifically for
Jar Jar Binks?
15.  Do you feel that a hip-hop urban setting would be best for a cartoon
featuring Jar Jar Binks in a starring role?
16.  Would you like to see cameo appearances by Star Wars actors (past or
present) in a Jar Jar Binks animated series?
17.  Do you feel that a wilderness or jungle setting (much like Donkey Kong)
be best for a Jar Jar Binks animated series?
18.  Would you like to see Ewoks making regular appearances alongside Jar
Jar Binks?

We hope that you will help us answer these questions in making Jar Jar Binks
a rousing success for saturday mornings.  We feel that after the incredible
success of Star Wars Episode 1 merchandising that we can take a character
like Jar Jar Binks and focus on his tremendous success.  Our research data
precisely indicates that this character alone helped the Phantom Menace make
30% more gross revenue than the projected estimates.
