Star Trek vs. Star Wars (and a collection of memes)

Started to watch Star Wars Episode I (again) tonight (long time ago I watched it)

First thought going through it:



Grrr, Imrahil

 

This amuses me. However, and I may be alone in this, I actually kind of liked Boss Nass. I mean, the guy had to put up with Jar Jar, rule the Gungans, live in a swamp, and I don't know if anyone else picked up on this, but it felt like he was actually going out of his way to get Jar Jar killed. That last one alone should make him appeal to fans

 

Always remember, an individual can be silenced, but the internet is undefeated.

 

Wow, I love both Episode I and Flushed Away and never put these two together until now.

I thought Boss Nass was a decent character too. If you read the lore on Jar Jar, Boss Nass actually has the patience of a saint, allowing Jar Jar to go unpunished for his accidents several times (because they were accidents) before the last straw came with Jar Jar crashing his favourite submarine, and even THEN he still had the tolerance to exile him rather than kill him. It's only when Jar Jar returns with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan that Boss Nass finally decides to have him executed (that's what he means when he says Jar Jar is to be 'pewnished'), only for that to be stopped by the life-debt. But from Boss Nass' viewpoint, the Jedi were planning to go through the planet's core anyway (which means almost certain death in the Gungans' eyes), so he thought that letting Jar Jar go with them would likely result in his death anyway.

And I see now that maybe Boss Nass aimed to make Jar Jar Bombad General so he would have to take part in the battle and therefore have a possibility of getting killed again.

Certainly from a ruler's point of view these approaches would have been good ways of quietly removing Jar Jar from society without causing an upset to the collective Gungan people.
