The Darth Jar Jar Theory Explained
On its control surface , the Darth Jar Jar theoryseems to be nothing more than a joke , but it has a surprising level of depth and logic to it . The possibility states that rather than being a bumbling , tractable side fibre throughout the prequel trilogy , Jar Jar Binks was in reality a verbatim collaborator with Sheev Palpatine , also known as Darth Sidious . As ridiculous as it sounds , there ’s really quite a fleck of grounds supporting Jar Jar ’s involvement with the Sith , from his wallop on the prequels to the way he would invert Yoda ’s purpose as a seemingly foolish yet on the QT powerful Force user .
Part of the theory asserts that some of Jar Jar ’s more telling feats were actually a result of his powerfulness with the Force . InThe Phantom Menace , Jar Jar routinely showcased impressive forcible ability that may have been enhanced by the Force , potentially including a shoddy style of warriorlike arts that made him seem incompetent . There were also several central bit where Jar Jar was able to convert people while gesturing with his manpower , similarly to how Jedi apply their hand while performing Jedi idea tricks . That ’s all grounds of Jar Jar being not only personnel - sensitive , but even potentially a dark side user .
Further , the fact that Palpatine carefully plat every pace of his plan also speaks to Jar Jar ’s importance . It seems odd that Palpatine would leave such all-important parts in the hands of a random , blundering Gungan , even if he could easily insure him . The Darth Jar Jar theory posits that Jar Jar was always part of Palpatine ’s plan , as he played into it absolutely on several occasions , such as when he convinced the Senate to give Palpatine emergency powers inAttack of the Clones . The theme that Jar Jar may have been an even more secretive Sith than Palpatine himself is surprisingly well - supported .

Best has acknowledged the virtue of the theory in the past . As report byThe Independent , Best thought parts of the theory might have worked , had Jar Jar been better received by audiences .
" What I can say about it is – and I kinda said this on Twitter – there ’s a stack about it that ’s true . There are some things that are not true . Could Jar Jar have evolved into that ? I suppose the solvent is yes . Because of the repercussion , and rightfully so , Lucasfilm indorse off from Jar Jar a quite a little . But a lot of the influence I put into the character mirrored a portion of what was already in theStar Warsuniverse . "
Best has even hint he could play Darth Jar Jarin an upcomingStar Warsgame , further indicating that he enjoys the theory and could even see it as a plausible interpretation of the character . Still , though , Best did n’t say whether Darth Jar Jar was ever a legitimate plan for the prequel trilogy , and or else said that George Lucas would have to say for certain .
