Meesa not want to think about it. Meesa not like it much first time, specially Jar Jar Binks.

That's right, folks. The floppy-eared, clumsy, weird-talking Jar Jar Binks is coming back to the big screen today, this time in 3-D, as director George Lucas tries to reboot his "Star Wars" series with "Episode 1 — The Phantom Menace."

Although a box-office hit when it was first released in 1999, the movie didn't fare well with critics. (It has a 60 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the website that keeps track of critical reaction.) So the studio isn't screening the new 3-D version for critics for reviews today.

Meesa not surprised.
