At his age, I guess he can be forgiven Jar-Jar.

I really know I am getting old when somebody involved in the production of Star Wars dies at age 98.

Jar-Jar was strictly a CGI creation for which Mr. Freeborn cannot be blamed. He did the make-up for just the original Star Wars trilogy (bar scene, Yoda, etc.).
This was also his work, Alec Guinness in the role of Fagin in the truly classic film version of Oliver Twist.
