According to http://www.bdr.org/lego/sw/ (which is a good site), it says
that #7161 Gungan Sub includes Jar Jar... How do you suppose
they will make him? A specialy shaped head or a mask of some sort?

They will not make him, they already did! That guy looks pretty nice. I've
seen one of those mini-figs yet. Cannot tell you exactly how they shaped
this Jar Jar, but as I remember it was one whole piece and not a mask. Sorry
no more details. I prefered regarding the #7616 Gungan Sub. That's a cool
model.

CG.

Jar Jar? That name's even goofier than "The Phantom Menace!" 8^O

Jar Jar? Is he the guy who says, "You say people gonna die?" in the
trailer?

Good news (I'm not really up on the latest SW/TPM stuff, so maybe this
is old): I noticed a shot of C3P0 in the second trailer, with his
golden skin. Whew. The bare-bones look is interesting, but doesn't
really suit him. Maybe the princess needed the gold skin for the war
effort?

Actually, you've brought up a point that really bothered me about the
1st trailer. Jar Jar (I still think that's the dumbest name I've ever
heard) looked just awful! The CGI looked worse than that stupid Blarp
thing in Lost in Space, which was itself terrible. Really, if you can't
do the CGI at least as well as, for instance, Jurassic Park, why bother?
(obviously ILM _can_ and has done better, but not with JJ, apparently)
Am I missing something? Or was it simply because the trailer was still
a mid-production piece, not yet polished to general-release quality? I
sure hope so.

Dave!

Yeah, it's a specialty head.

Actually, the other Droid may not have been C-3PO... there's a few
things I'm not too sure about, and I do know that other 3PO units will
appear in the prequels, so it's not necessarily him. It might be.
