Great topic! I forget who was against the RotJ Force-ghost change, but I think he made a great argument. I had always been against that change for purely nostalgic reasons, but now that I think about it more in-depth, I think it’s true: having Vader show up as his younger self really does seem to “undo” his whole journey to redemption.
I agree with (I think it was Carl) that Jar Jar didn’t work quite well in Phantom Menace as comic relief. He has no foil, and no one really reacts to his shenanigans, so everything he does in a scene falls flat. Better comic relief came from the original jokester, C-3PO. He usually had R2-D2 to bounce jokes with, and when he didn’t Han or Leia or someone else usually interacted with him. Jar Jar is just there.
