Never heard of that one before but the Google summary for it sounds like it was the inspiration behind the game "We Happy Few".

You didn’t think he was bonkers when he came up with the character in the first place?

Honestly Jar Jar could have worked as comic relief. The problem was that they used him as a primary character.

If he didn’t let the studio bully him out of making jar jar the Sith Lord it would’ve been amazing

Star Wars and Raiders were intended by Lucas and Spielberg  to be homages to the serial films of the 30s and 40s. Swashbuckling, fun movies where the good guys and bad were clear to see. While Jar Jar doesn’t appeal to me, can see what Lucas is saying in this context. Also, it was an early proof of realistic digital characters. George likes his tech.

He made it unwatchable. It was his friends who saved it .
