World of warcraft.....Now with Panda power!

Don't tar all Gungans with the same Jar Jar brush.  There was a boss in Force Unleashed who was a Gungan and he totally pulled off badass.

It took me far too long to check, but the Pandarens date back to 2002 with the release of Warcraft III.

And I wasn't saying there was anything wrong with Gunguns, or JarJar. Just that those are some pretty messed up races as well.

I don't know, Gungans have a perfectly nice design behind them. They aren't a simple anthropomorphized animal and they aren't a classic Star Trek alien with a small piece of putty applied to their forehead. They don't even all have Rastafarian accents - that's really just Jar Jar.

Is there any explanation for that choice?  He would have been at least 43% less annoying without it.  (Most of the remainder is the "bumbling idiot" factor. )

Maybe the focus groups had a disproportionate number of Jamaicans?
