This parody novelization is intended to help George Lucas (writer-director of the films THX 1138 and American Graffiti) finally get the recognition he deserves for a science fiction/fantasy film he did in 1977. The film featured characters that were too bizarre for most people: a princess, a wizard, a sasquatch, a guy in a black diving helmet. Jar Jar Wars humanizes these characters and makes them accessible at last, perhaps providing a classic cult film with greater acceptance.
