...Lucas is even ballsy enough here to give us a fully computer-generated character in the form of Jar-Jar Binks, a goofy-looking rabbit-like amphibian who is (sadly) a major part of the film and who interacts with virtually everyone. He's totally life-like and technically fascinating, but he's so annoying it's almost criminal. I cringed every time he opened his big floppy mouth to spit out whatever nonsense it was he was saying.

Does Jeffrey inhale? "Definitely...

The group's response to the film, in which the boys take turns whacking a bat at a harmless amphibian, went way beyond a few thumbs up. "People asked to buy the tape right out of the machine," recalls Abby Terkuhle, then an MTV producer to whom Judge had submitted the film. "One guy wouldn't leave until he had a copy. It was then that we thought, Hey, maybe...
