He was intended as a distraction to keep people from realizing how bad
the film really was.
Lucas did an excellent job in the original three films of casting a
*group* who could act together. The dialogue wasn't always really good,
but you could believe that these people could work together on their
cause.
In ep1-ep3, I just didn't feel that was there. Especially in ep1,
however, because the lines were just so wooden and delivered without any
emotive quality at all.
And then you thrown in a clown to distract from how bad it really is;
some people said it was racial stereotyping (I think that's a stretch
personally) that made it that much worse.
