Hey guys, welcome to Steel Wars.

I am comedian Steel Saunders, and I do love Star Wars.

Please enjoy this classic clip, which is available in full at patreon.com forward slash steel wars.

I didn't think we were ever going to get like a Star Wars character who was as part of the family, if you will, as what we had already had.

Like, I love the prequel films, but that's my, my big critique probably of them is that we didn't get any new Star Wars characters who became classic Star Wars

you know mainstays like like you know you don't go and you don't see a Captain Panaka

you know t-shirt in the store today they wouldn't make that because none of those characters

really resonated um it as well as like as BBB does. So, yeah, and here I'm like a 36-year-old man

loving a little tiny robot and buying merchandise for it. It's a weird world. I admit that.

But I think my theory is in about five years, big, big jar jar resurgence.

he's going to do important

things. And, but what they ended up doing with Jar Jar Jar utterly makes him a waste in Van

Menace. He's like, he's an investment in that trilogy and then they pull the way out, they pull

out of it. So you really don't ever see any of the real payoff with Jar Jar. He's just left as the guy who pretty much handed Palpatine the Akees to the Empire. And so at the end of the day, I'm like, well, Jar Jar Jar Jar is a failed character because they didn't follow through. I don't think it's because he sucks. I actually think he would have been a pretty cool character. If we had seen him as a fool, then become this politician kind of guy,
