    The Gungans (ie Jar Jar Binks and his mates) or the Ewoks?

    Tough call. While Jar-Jar Binks makes the ewoks look like fucking Shaft, I care much less about anything annoying being in the prequels than I do about something annoying in the classics.

    Such a tough call.

    Really, really tough call. I think I'd have to go with....hmmmm.

    Or...

    Its got to be Jar Jar. Just has to be. Hate the ewoks, far too childish and somewhat spoiled the Endor confrontation for me, but Jar Jar....ugh, worst character...ever? And he's in Episode I for so much of the film....half the reason that Episode I was so badly received is his presence.

    Jar Jar Binks et al, without a doubt. Man, that thing was annoying.

    That Rastafarian Frog. The Ewoks never said very much, the other fool said way too much.

    I'd really rather Yoda was left out too.

    Prequels Yoda is a fairly unenjoyable factor for me but I think he's great in ESB and ROTJ.

    ewoks ruled! i got their old movie (yes i know thats sad :o ) theyre a classic although Jar Jar had his charms :) but no its the ewoks

    Yoda was great in the classics, but he got shot to pieces in the prequels. I mean it was a bit weird that he had bad vocabulary, but it worked for his character, but they waaaay overdid it in the prequels. I mean "around the survivors, a perimeter create" or "Not if anything to say about it I have" or the worst "A prophecy that misread could have been"

    Ewan McGregor (personaly thought he was ****e).

    Out of the options The Gungans, Jar Jar..what a twat!

    Exactly. Talking excessive amounts of bollox he was.

    Add to that I didn't really find it appropriate to the situation he was in. All that gobbilgook is perfect when the character is intended to just be a curious, charming, decepively powerless helper-on-the-side-of-the-road type character, but it just doesn't work when brought out into the cold light of day esp when see this fella is portrayed as an uber-powerful leader of men.

    Samual L. Jackson. Jedi's are usually cool by default but this guy fails by trying too hard.

    The Gungans from the options above.

    Didn't find Yoda too annoying in the prequels, or maybe his annoyance levels were just drowned out by everything going on around him. There's much worse to choose from, I think.
