The prequels were awful and Jar Jar Binks was a horrible, no good character. That said, I had no idea tripod still existed! What a blast from the past.
Although I don't believe in the existence of more than two Star Wars films, George Lucas is not known for writing deep characters. You're not supposed to like Jar-Jar, he's the titular Phantom Menace, and of course he's horrible and no good. No wonder he's always trying to mess everything up and make it look like he's just clumsy. whoops I accidentally convinced the Intergalactic Senate to invest unrestricted emergency powers in my evil friend. Oh darn.
