How dare you compare the two.....Honestly, I liked Jar Jar fine at first. But he grates on you. Like Roger Rabbit. It gets so bad that you can't even watch the movie.

Honestly? I think a lot of us were in the closet about the PT. It was sort of like Nickelback. You talk a bunch of **** with your friends, but then you’re jamming along to “Rockstar” on the FM channels.Part of what happened, I believe, is we collectively realized George Lucas was right: he made those movies for kids.
I’m more glad to see Jar Jar than Grievous.
Grievous just isn’t that big of a wow for me since I’ve had the SSC 2.0 for awhile and it always seemed inevitable HT would make him eventually. I’m just upgrading something I already have and spending even more money on the character, which is never as fulfilling as adding something entirely new to the collection.Wow....
I bet you end up looking at Grievous more on the shelf.
Grievous was a chain-smokers-cough bore of a character with a sorta cool but also sorta goofy design, all delivered with slightly iffy CGI. Overall, a bit hard to take seriously as a villain in a live action movie.Wow....

Honestly think Don-Wan & Jaxxon were the true Qui-Gon & Jarjar inspiration, yet Lucas would loath to admit it.How dare you compare the two.....
I had a similar experience.Grievous just isn’t that big of a wow for me since I’ve had the SSC 2.0 for awhile and it always seemed inevitable HT would make him eventually.

Jar Jar is a genuine surprise who it was quite feasible to believe we’d never get in 1/6 form- if you don’t count the old Hasbro doll.
I don’t like him more or think he’s cooler, more eye-catching, or will make for a better figure than Grievous- but I have had a more positive emotional response to his reveal for the reasons listed above.
Nass-ty!

I sold my Hasbro 12" Nass and Watto figs on ebay years ago and I regret it to this day.
Interesting Jake Lloyd article that came out fairly recently:The more I become older, the more I dislike Ep I, large portion of the film I simply cannot digest anymore. But this Jar Jar is part of my childhood, definitely will PO day 1. Hopefully, kid Anakin and Padawan Obi is next in line.
