'I'm really glad to have it behind me. I think this is really what should have happened from the start,' said Zack Anderson, one of the students sued by the MBTA."

Jar Jar wasn't important to the story line. But then, neither was Anikan or the Jedi.

The whole battle with the droids was pointless; Palpatine was going to show up in a day or two to remove the blockade and be a hero anyway.

The Senator still came out smelling like a rose, and ready to take over the job of chancellor.

Jar Jar just managed to drag his people into a war that ended up pointlessly killing a lot of his people.

Though, the real problem there is that the story just didn't make any sense.
