    A few days ago a user created a theory on reddit about how Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars may actually be a Sith Master, here I am explaining the theory in-depth. All hail Sith Lord Binks.
    Thank you all for over 5 million views! If you liked this theory, I actually upload lots of other Star Wars fan theories as well so check them out and subscribe if you want!

    At this point I feel like it’s unofficially confirmed as the original plan for the prequels. Jar Jar IS Plagueis, and the Muun that they shoehorned in after the backlash to Jar Jar is an ass pull.
    Jar Jar dropping his accent and igniting his saber just as Yoda puts it together that HE is the Sith master would’ve been the most iconic movie scene EVER.

      ​@Greenlightandgo Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise? I thought not. It’s not a story the Jedi would tell you. It’s a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

    Jar Jar smiles slyly at Qui Gon's funeral. He's slightly out of focus, but there's no mistaking it. Keep in mind he is animated so it's no accident. I really wish Lucas had stuck to his guns this might have been the greatest "hiding in plain sight all along" plot twist in cinematic history.

    When Anakin leaves Tatooine for the first time, he hunkers down in front of a sleeping Jar Jar and shivers. The lore states that Force-sensitive users feel “cold” in the presence of the dark side (think back to Luke in the Cave of Evil in EP. 5).
    Now, was Anakin shivering because he left his home desert planet, or because he was near the most powerful Dark Side user in the galaxy?

      After the Rule of Two was established, it was a legitimate law that was strictly followed. Towards the end of the high republic, some Sith masters trained secondary Sith apprentices like assassins, and warriors. By the time Palpatine and Plagueis were working together, training lesser Sith apprentices was common practice. Although the Jedi did not know of this.

      George Lucas saying Jar Jar is the key to all of this, isn’t about the actual character’s importance but rather the fact he was the first full CGI character in StarWars and if they got him down then doing the CG for the rest would be easier. They’re quite literally going over the story boards as he’s saying it. He’s the key to everything since the whole reason why the prequels came out way after the original trilogy was because the technology wasn’t there at the time yet so getting Jar Jar done would be a key milestone in the creation of the film and the following ones.

    To be honest, as much as I hated the Jar Jar character in the first movie, had Lucas gone ahead and made the plot twist with Jar Jar being a Sith Lord, I believe, that I would have eventually accepted the foolishnes of the character in the first movie. Simply because his behaviour would have made sense in a "you just wait and see" kind of way. It would have been an amazing plot twist.

    It could perfectly be that Jar Jar is a sith lord, even more so considering that in the far past there were thousands, if not millions of sith, enough to form the Sith Empire, the rule of two could have even been something outdated that Jar Jar and other Siths used against the Jedi to fool them and hide the real number of Siths (I mean, Siths were hiding for thousands of years, who says that when one of them just sent the rule of two to trash and have more apprentices or something similar)
