    Oh wow. The exact same rumours that have been going around since Pike was cast are reprinted on a 'news' website with no actual news.

    Now I'm excited.

    It's pretty obvious that it was an intentional jab at Kurtzman ...

    Yea. I figured that as well. Just like how people make jabs at Abrams by comparing him to Jar Jar Binks, even though he had nothing to do with said character.

    Also honestly I never did understand the hate towards Binks. He was funny, and he was MEANT to be funny. Kind of the "fish out of water" comic relief type swept up in events a LOT bigger then himself. He was in imperfect Klutz of a Gungan. And we don't see Klutzy characters often in Star Wars. So suddenly having one was a big change.

    exactly right, and as for binks, that's the most idiotic character I've ever seen in ANY movie. oh, an jarjar outright ruined Star Trek. there are SO many mistakes in established canon, including soft, it's unbelievable. a Pike series just might makeup/correct some of that

    The Star Wars prequels would have been far better if Jar Jar was actually Darth Jar Jar. It could explain how he was such a good fighter in that battle in The Phantom Menance even though it looked like he was just a lucky klutz. However if the plan was Darth Jar Jar, the fans' negative reaction towards him removed removed such plans.

    It would also make sense if Binks were in fact strongly Force-sensitive, which expressed itself as great luck - both good and bad.

    However, having untrained Force-sensitives who aren't part of the Skywalker legacy might make the SW galaxy look bigger than Lucas dreamed, so of course that couldn't happen either.

    Yeah the force can give someone a Spider-Man like danger sense even if they don't use any other force powers.

    There is some evidence for Han Solo being force-sensitive, but nowhere near the levels of Luke or even Leia or that he is even aware of it. Solo being one of the best pilots might require being force-sensitive or having extrasensory perception like some of the Podracers that young Anakin went up against.

    Han's ability to navigate hyperspace is seemingly superhuman, but since it's based on calculating trajectories, it'd be intuition based and not reflex based.

    Navigating hyperspace is only a part of being a Star Wars pilot. There is the scene where Solo manually flies through an asteroid belt in The Empire Strikes Back. That requires an immense amount of luck to not be hit by an asteroid especially when dealing with TIE fighters.

    That part is reflex based, but also partly ESP based possibly. IE like that trick Leia used in ep5 to find Luke.

    No. Finn was trying to warn Rey about Darth Jar Jar.

    Jar Jar Binks was the substitute for the droids in the original trilogy since they were in an earlier stage and not the long familiar Laurel and Hardy like team they were in the earlier made films.

    Some of Bink's comedy was a little too slapstick, sure, but it was actually not that far off from the silly unsubtle comedy that was popular at the time the film was made. He is annoying at first but is not too hard to get used to in time. And like with Robin Williams in Aladdin a certain amount of the stuff was from CGI animators going with funny ad-libbed things the comedian doing Bink's voice came up with.
