Jar Jar in New Trek?
May 14th, 2009 | By Bernard Bygott | Category: News
In an unprecedented stunt that some believe may have originated from George Lucas’s Skywalker Ranch, Jar-Jar Binks has been digitally inserted into several theatrical releases of the newest Star Trek film. In these altered cuts, Jar-Jar, the controversial character from Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, appears in numerous shots “being annoying,” “insulting intelligence,” and “killing childhood.” His out of place appearances in the film have managed to upset a broad demographic of viewers known technically as “Everyone”. Even the three or so fans of the Jar-Jar character have lodged a complaint on his fan-site www.thereisnowaythissiteexists.com claiming that Jar-Jar’s scenes “don’t allow him enough onscreen time to be as annoying as he can obviously be.”
True-blue Trekies are taking the news hardest of all; adding to their woes, a press release was issued this morning confirming that Jar Jar shows up in exactly the same moments William Shatner was originally slated to appear in the film.
RM? was unable to reach director, J.J. Abrams, or anybody else who can contradict this story for comment.
Okay, now I will go see Star Trek
