The POINT of Jar-Jar is that everyone, everyone, including the fucking Jedi who are sworn to protect all life in the galaxy and should damn well know better, dismiss him. It’s not due to his personality; Jar-Jar is deeply loyal, he’s kind, he’s eager to help, he’s very honest and very genuine. It’s entirely due to superficial things; his speech patterns are annoying. He looks weird. He’s clumsy and messes things up, he’s from the “primitive” marsh-dwellers who live in the swamps or something. So they talk down to him, they push him around, they view him with disdain, they wish he was gone. You know. Much like the fandom.
Padme is interested in him, she speaks to him with respect, she listens seriously when he speaks. Naboo is saved not because of the Jedi (who fight Maul and do nothing else) and not even because of Anakin’s trick with the droid control ship, because the Gungan army made that possible in the first place. Naboo is saved because Padme from the beginning treats the Gungans with respect.
