Gollum and Treebeard the next Jar Jar?

[MLD-Grounds-Keeper-Willie]

NO WAY. I wouldn't even say, "not unless hell froze over." That's how impossible it would be. PJ is a true fan and he's taking this movie very serious. He wouldn't risk doing something like that. Besides, as kalimac said, the comic relief does fall on Pippin and Merry. I think that you will see some jokes but for the most part, this movie is considered a drama, not a comedy. <P>So if you're hoping for another Jar Jar movie, don't count on it. Besides, the phantom menace was 2hrs long and those star wars fans had to sit through it. Do you really think that PJ would have us tolkien die hard fans sit through 6hrs (3hrs TTT + 3hrs RotK = 6) of a Jar Jar replica???? <P>PJ has worked on making the movies for about 5 years I think. He wouldn't let something like that happen.
