It's Mark's term. It stands for Ultra-Passionate Fans.

The Ewoks do have the benefit of not being basically plucked from a minstrel show.

Jar-Jar is a good example of just how odd George Lucas's approach is to story-telling, at least from a neurotypical standpoint. It's generally agreed that he strongly depends on his script editors and assistant directors to be able to deliver narrative in a concise and clear manner because his writing simply can't be easily translated into on-screen events.

In the case of Jar-Jar, it didn't help that he insisted that he was the most important character in The Phantom Menace and honestly couldn't work out what was supposed to be so offensive about him.

Tova:
George Lucas is possibly the only director I can think of who, when he opens his mouth, perplexes rather than elucidates.
