As someone mentioned on reddit already, Jar Jar is a CG-rendered character, so every single motion he makes is deliberate. The animators intentionally directed his every gesture, his ever turn of head, his movement of lips. This is very different from an actor who just happens to look at an odd direction or make a strange posture - those can be accidents. This is intentional.
In another universe, Yoda could have been just a Muppet ruining the original trilogy, while Jar Jar could be the greatest mastermind in the history of movies.
+EvilFreeman Except you can take this behaviour two ways. Either he is mind controlling villain puppeteering the other characters, or they wanted to reinforce his submissiveness by making him mirror the behaviour of those around him.

+pkmovies92 This would have been the biggest twist in the movie history, but we all hated Jar Jar so much after Phantom Menace, that Lucas decided against it, believing it would cause a massive backlash.
I thought it was silly but neat theory until i saw these "mind trick" moments in HD. It's actually extremely creepy. I sorta get chills down my back. Plus he a CG character, everything he does is done on purpose and not by accident like an actor would.
If George Lucas went with Jar Jar Binks being a Sith Lord, then that plot twist in the second prequel movie would have been just as much of a great plot twist (if not moreso) than the plot twist in the second original trilogy movie that Darth Vadar is Luke's father.
He meant that he is furst fully CGI character. If you want to defend the Prequels (I love to do it) defend them for what they are, not for what they could have been.
It would have been better, because the build up, but worse (because he did it again) and therefore, it was better, that he didn't do it at all. Honestly if would have been "perfect" had he done it in the phantom menace, but in the end, he made the prequels perfect. I wouldn't change a thing
everything about this is just unsettling. this is first time where i was actually "mind blown" at something. 16 years. absolutely NO ONE thought anything about jar jar other than that he was some stupid comedy relief character. this is turn of the goddamn century. we never listened. we were too blind by our jar jar hatred.

+GYPRODOGO Although intoxicating in the short-term, hatred inevitably blinds us to the truth that is before our eyes. That is the weakness... of the Dark Side.
+Famtomerc He left a hint that it was so yes. But that's probably all he can do. I do not know if it is breech of contract if he reveals hidden plot. Unless Lucas gives the freedom for it. Or if Jar Jar still has a role.
"Jar Jar is the key to all of this." - George Lucas I've always hated Jar Jar but this would redeem Jar Jar Binks and in a way, redeem the Prequels. Here is this character that was the most hated. A character that we all thought was a bumbling idiot "created for children" was actually pretending. Imagine how creepy and dark it would be to see a pale, evil looking Jar Jar Binks with rotten teeth and a demonic voice that sounds as if he was possessed. It's the only way I would be interested in seeing him again.
+Marshall Street this literally would be most epic plot twist and moment in movie history of all time...Jar Jar, in a black cape, powering on his red lightsaber...

I find the misuse of literally and over use of all the time REALLY annoying as well but this is like one of the most neutral cases of it,go on Reddit,(not even bein an ass) and just find some others, a lot of people say LITERALLY every sentence. Go reply to them and get them downvoted.
Even moreso than the implication of his manipulation, I love the extremely subtle hint of possibly immense force powers. When you see Jedi performing mind tricks, you normally see them making the hand motion and saying words themselves before their target repeats them. Here, Jar Jar appears to be able to make his targets say exactly what he wishes by doing nothing but mouthing the words in a way that nobody, not even the audience was able to notice for so long. Also, let's not forget that assuming this theory is true, he pulled off a mind trick on the WHOLE SENATE at one point. Yet still, nobody caught on. If the Jar Jar theory is true, then he's a much more cunning schemer than even Palpatine is. Sure Palpatine fooled the Jedi for a time... but Jar Jar STILL has everyone fooled.
+CZcams Admin He's mouthing the words that they're speaking, and looking shifty while doing it. Giving the impression that he's mind dominating them. There's a theory that Jar Jar Binks was supposed to be a Sith working with Palpatine pretending to be a hopeless fool the whole time. Like it was probably supposed to be the episode 2 twist instead of pulled-from-ass Dooku, but since he was so unpopular they shelved the idea. Now people are looking back at all the suspicious things Jar Jar did.
+Shokushuko I still don't quite grasp the reasoning behind the pull of the twist though. If Jar Jar is actually a Sith then people SHOULD hate him. All the reasons people hated Jar Jar were righteous, he was annoying which is okay for a bad guy, and he seemed pointless which would be resolved the moment his schemes are exposed. The twist would have fixed everything. Pulling the twist cemented Jar Jar as an unfunny comic relief character. If he was never supposed to be comic relief in the first place then why KEEP him that way in reaction to people not liking THAT WAY? It doesn't make sense. Everything else about the theory does, just this one problem bothers me to no end.
+Field of View You say that, but people really overreacted to Jar Jar and used him as a scapegoat. So many disappointed Star Wars fans trying to justify their dislike of the new Star Wars movie by putting all the blame on the annoying, goofy character and not the dull roadtrip-ish plot or lack of character development. Obi Wan was pretty bland in the first movie when he probably should of felt more like the central protagonist instead of Qui Gon's sidekick, Jar Jar(even if he wasn't going to be the surprise villain) got more development and character than him. Jar Jar was supposed to be annoying and lame, but you were still supposed to pity him and be mildly amused at the gags he brought to the movie. So no, you weren't supposed to hate him, at least not with any passion. Think of C3PO, that's how you're supposed to feel about Jar Jar. The twist wasn't supposed to be some weak justification for hating an annoying character, it was supposed to be a surprising betrayal to shock audiences. Lucas was caught off-guard with the religious amounts of hate for Jar Jar. He probably thought it would be a lamer twist at that point. But more practically, Episode 2 would need more Jar Jar screentime. Do you think fans with an irrational hate for some gag character want to see more of that character in the sequel. It would be bad for Box Office sales. Thinking about ways to minimize Jar Jar screentime just leads to putting off the twist and then abandoning it for easier ideas because it's too late to implement it well at that point. Whatever it was, I think it's more a case of Lucas awkwardly rethinking how he was going to write the reveal and then talking himself out of it. Jar Jar was still supposed to be a comic relief character in Episode 1, even if the theory is true. The theory only gives him extra depth as a villain. He didn't even stay as a comic relief character, he became a senator that Palpatine wasn't ashamed to have around, and he gave the speech that gave Palpatine emergency powers over the Senate. They only missed the opportunity for a twist and to have him killed in a lightsaber fight or something but they didn't kill the possibility that he was a villain. In theory he's a better villain now because he didn't stupidly get caught. The possibility of Snoke being Jar Jar hasn't died yet either :P
+Shokushuko Yes, but think about it Jar jar, in theory, was the main enemy. It would make sense to put incredibly subtle, yes more than comfortable character development on this annoying guy IF he turned out to be more important than we all foresaw.
Sammy It's still child acting, bland apprentice Obi Wan and the road trip nature to the plot that ruined Episode 1 rather than a gag character being part of the group. Star Wars always had stuff like C3PO and Ewoks
This even makes Qui Gon appear to be a more powerful force user than we initially thought or at least more in tune with the force if this ends up being cannon. Throughout most of the movie Jar Jar was mocking Qui Gon cause Qui Gon felt the disturbance in the force and questioned Jar Jar a lot in the Phantom Menace
The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. - Qui gon “Does thissa?” - Jar Jar, drawing a crimson lightsaber while violently force choking Obi Wan
Episode I: The Phantom Menace The Phantom menace. The title of the film implies that there is a phantom villain in the film, a true antagonist character that has the intelligence to pull the strings while masquerading as something unnoticeable. George Lucas saying "Jar Jar is the key to everything. Everyone of Jar Jar's animations being deliberately rendered in CGI, the mimicking. People definitely overlook the complexity of this film, I think the worst film in the franchise is actually one of the best.
+Zombie Ducklings Palpatine isn't a phantom menace, he's just a menace. They're prequels so people already KNOW Palpatine is the evil bad guy. The real guy pulling the strings is jar jar.
Zombie Ducklings In context to the prequels, yes. But at the same time, to the audience, palpatine is not a phantom, whereas jar jar is a phantom to both the audience and jedi alike - nobody would expect a highly annoying and stupid character like jar jar to be pulling the strings and yet on careful oversight, it is clear that there were deeper, more serious plans for jar jar's character.
The Jar-Jar-as Sith reveal would have been the greatest masterstroke of Lucas's career. This is the greatest missed opportunity in film history. Instead of a prequel trilogy that was generally regarded as disappointing and inferior to the original trilogy, this twist (revealing Jar Jar as the secret inverse-Yoda Sith Master, with Sidious as his apprentice), would have been the greatest in Star Wars history -- equal to "I am your father" -- and one of the greatest in movie history. Everything about the prequels would have been overturned; everything that seemed simple and stupid would have been revealed to be ingenious. And Lucas chickened out, just because he was afraid of people calling Star Wars "racist."
but The Force Awakens is just copy and pasting scenes from the original trilogy that people liked. The entire move was made to appeal to people who would get the references, the way scenes were shot, certain lines, they wanted to play it safe and not take any risks...so they didn't try anything actually original.
This and the bit with him smiling at the funeral are unbelievable. You really need to watch the movie with the sound turned off and you get an entirely different impression.
I know. It's right there: Yoda says "Always there are two, a master and an apprentice, no more, no less," and Maul is dead, so there must be two at that point -- and right there, just steps away, Jar Jar is standing RIGHT BESIDE Sidious.
@@jetuber the sith rule of two wasn't followed as stricly in the star wars trilogy then it was maybe when the sith where at the height of their power. Palpatine has like 3 apprentices at once at some points
if this turns out to be true, the fans will destroy all cinemas worldwide... now everything makes sense. jar jar should have been the main villian of EP2. but the concept was canceled because as GL said: he gave him too mich comedic elements... the fans started to hate him... now revealing that he did everything on purpose would be not only the greatest redemption of a movie prequel in history, but also George Lucas' personal peace of mind. If this happens they will build a 50m George Lukas statue of gold... I swear it.
He meant that he is furst fully CGI character. If you want to defend the Prequels (I love to do it) defend them for what they are, not for what they could have been.
These are great! Another situation I noticed is in the scene where Qui Gon is talking to Anakin about the midichlorians. Toward the end of their discussion you can see Jar Jar listening in and then suddenly start walking away nonchalantly.
awesome. i think jar jar also mind tricked amidala to go back to naboo when he waved his hand and said "wesa gota grand army" then she was like "ive decided to go back to naboo"
Was it just me, or did something always feel a little... "Off" about his eyes? Gungans have dark orange eyes, but jar jars just felt.. brighter? More saturated? More menacing? More "sauron"? The weird part, is that they seem to change through the movie too, which is a trait among sith. ref: ROTS anakin on mustafar. Their eyes seem to glow when they're 'aroused' by the dark side of the force, and overcome with intense emotions. When Obi wan senses something illusive, I don't think he was talking about mail or sidious, since they were all the way back at coruscant. If his force senses could reach that far, then you'd be able to feel almost ANY kind of threat, and I doubt even a mature padwan would be that strong. That feels more like a grand master/ Yoda ability with intense focus. I think the illusion that he sensed, was actually jar jar, since they were already around naboo. Think about it. He just happened to show up, and just happens to trick them so easily. He lures them with "I know a place we can go", then when they get there, it's "I shouldn't be here". He makes the Jedi curious, and allows them to continue of their own free will, thus reinforcing the illusion of them being in control. Obi wan in ANH also says "there's no such thing as luck, [only the force]. This also hints that jar jar wasn't killing droids completely by accident, but was actually in control of his actions the entire time. Star wars is heavily influenced by martial arts, especially through swordsmanship and fighting. one particular technique that comes to mind, is the "drunken monkey". It is unpredictable, and highly confusing to the opponent. It moves as something non-human, and lashes out with extremely loose thrusts. Essentially slapping someone with a limp arm, while also giving it the power of a real punch. I think that jar jar, as a force user, is... "The monkey". He's juvenile, clumsey, limp (arms always hanging and back always hunched), and especially... "Lucky". There's no doubt about it that jar jar is some kind of nemesis, and orchestrated the plot from the very beginning. People who hate jar jar, are actually the fools who fell for his little trick. He's a trickster, the fool, and the monkey. His posture directly indicates that, since gungans seem to always stand upright. Neck high, arms straight, chest forward, legs at attention. Jar jar is... The complete opposite. If given the opportunity, he could kill a Jedi master, and make it look like a complete accident without revealing his identity. He's the MASTER of disguise, and the MASTER of drunken fist combat. Next time someone mocks jar jar, say that he played them like a damn fiddle for 19 years...
This was actually supposed to be revealed in the second movie of the prequel trilogy, Attack of the Clones, but it wasn't because fans were raging about Jar Jar Binks and almost everyone hated him. I think it's too late now, the great potential of this epic plot twist got wasted. :'(
Could be they originally had plans for him, after all they expected Jar-Jar to be a really big (or at least loved) character, they didn't expect him to be as hated as he was
No wonder why this episode is called the phantom menace. Jar Jar has always been creepy. Fooling everyone including Palpatine would turn him into one of the best stealth villains.
I always thought it was weird when I was a kid but I always thought that I saw jar jar mouth the same lines when other ppl talk. I'm like "why is his mouth always moving?" If he really is like how the theory suggest...then realize he did this multiple times in front of several Jedi and was never sensed.
Love the placement of R2D2 in the first clip he knew something was up all along. George was a ducking genius man, such as shame we couldn’t let him see his vision through
Also, oh my god, has anyone ever actually tried zooming in on his eyes randomly like this before? Eyes give away people's thoughts, and often times the way he moves his eyes and focuses on people is cold, calculating, sinister...
Sammy I like him too. I'm glad this fan-theory/scrapped plan to make Jar Jar a Sith agent failed, because I do like him. He's just trying to do his best to stop evil and help his friends.
+0IIIIII I've always liked him because his character created conflict and irritation in other characters. He even made Gui Qon (sp) get irritable at dinner. To find out there's something deeper is even more amazing. And I think the hand waving, the incredible Drunken Gods master techniques, the mouthing of what people are saying as they are saying it, the 20' jedi leaps, and the smile at Gui Qon's (sp) funeral, plus more that I've forgotten make this uncontestable in my view.
@@beeaggro2593 except its not. Hes a phantom to the star wars characters, but the audience know exactly who palpatine is so hes not a phantom. Jar Jar is the real phantom, we dont see it coming
Here's a quite from The Phantom Menace: Obi-wan: I have a bad feeling about this. Qui-gon: I don't sense anything. Obi-wan: It's not about the mission master, it's something elsewhere, elusive.
@@user-xx6vy9ri8p wrong. Also, "jar jar is the key to all this" also ahmed best, jar jars actor said a decent amount of the script was changed after the reaction to jar jar
An important thing to remember is that Jar Jar is an entirely CGI character. Meaning that every single movement he makes, from full battle scenes to tiny twitches, are entirely planned out with meaning. Those mouth movements he's making aren't nervous movements or clearing his throat, they where out in there on purpose.
How can he not believe it? It's clear from looking at jar jars mouth when they talk that he is controlling them. A cgi character doesn't just do that on accident it must have been intentional.
@@LisaAnn777 EXACTLY. He's so stoic that I can't tell if he's just memeing or if he truly doesn't see what is clearly presented in the movie Literally, and I do mean the word literally literally, every scene in SW Episode 1 with Jar Jar is incredibly suspicious. Multiple times I've gone through scene by scene and it's literally every fucking scene, it's 100% intentional that he's made to act this way
It honestly wouldn't take that much to make this work. Have Jar Jar show up in that abandoned factory on Coruscant at the end of AotC with Dooku and Sidious. We have the big reveal, and to top it off we can have Jar Jar ritually sacrifice himself to Sidious to keep the Rule of Two intact. Additionally, we can make Jar Jar's backstory that of Sifo-Dyas, thus explaining who made the deal with the Kaminoans and erased the planets.
They should make a prequel of the prequels focused on Jar Jar becoming a Sith Lord while Palpatine becomes his apprentice. TOO BAD DISNEY DOESN'T HAVE THE BALLS TO DO IT.
the queen wishes it she's curious about the planet the queen wishes it she's curious about the planet the queen wishes it she's curious about the planet *THE QUEEN WISHES IT SHES CURIOUS ABOUT THE PLANET*
I just noticed another part that he does this weird lip sync, when Anakin's mother tries forbidding Anakin from racing because it's too dangerous. Qui-Gon responds "your mother's right," and Jar Jar lip syncs that exactly. That's so weird! Haha! Maybe he has echolalia.
It would have been cool if Jar Jar turned out to be some kind of bounty hunter or something, it would be a cool twist to have him suddenly turn against them. Like that black guy from Total Recall
I wish George Lucas had stuck to his guns, and ignored the whining of all of us "genius" types, who think we know how to tell a story. To this day people bitch about the pre-quels, and it didn't have to be like this. No wonder Dooku was so hastily written.
There probably were big plans for Jar Jar, it's a shame that people didn't see it at the time and because of the backlash he was sidelined - what a shame.

+Shokushuko Yes, but think about it
Jar jar, in theory, was the main enemy. It would make sense to put incredibly subtle, yes more than comfortable character development on this annoying guy IF he turned out to be more important than we all foresaw.
Sammy It's still child acting, bland apprentice Obi Wan and the road trip nature to the plot that ruined Episode 1 rather than a gag character being part of the group. Star Wars always had stuff like C3PO and Ewoks
+Shokushuko Jar jar is like Tobi in Naruto series haha,funny guy at first,serious mode in the end.
This even makes Qui Gon appear to be a more powerful force user than we initially thought or at least more in tune with the force if this ends up being cannon. Throughout most of the movie Jar Jar was mocking Qui Gon cause Qui Gon felt the disturbance in the force and questioned Jar Jar a lot in the Phantom Menace
The ability to speak does not make you intelligent. - Qui gon
“Does thissa?” - Jar Jar, drawing a crimson lightsaber while violently force choking Obi Wan
😂😆
"Once more the sith will rule the galaxy, and then we shall have peace"...meesa tink
Meesa agree.
Wait...
Those mouth animations were clearly meant to match the other people's. That's really weird.
Episode I: The Phantom Menace
The Phantom menace.
The title of the film implies that there is a phantom villain in the film, a true antagonist character that has the intelligence to pull the strings while masquerading as something unnoticeable.
George Lucas saying "Jar Jar is the key to everything.
Everyone of Jar Jar's animations being deliberately rendered in CGI, the mimicking.
People definitely overlook the complexity of this film, I think the worst film in the franchise is actually one of the best.
Queen Elsa The Phantom Menace is Palpatine though.
+Zombie Ducklings Palpatine isn't a phantom menace, he's just a menace. They're prequels so people already KNOW Palpatine is the evil bad guy. The real guy pulling the strings is jar jar.
Zombie Ducklings In context to the prequels, yes. But at the same time, to the audience, palpatine is not a phantom, whereas jar jar is a phantom to both the audience and jedi alike - nobody would expect a highly annoying and stupid character like jar jar to be pulling the strings and yet on careful oversight, it is clear that there were deeper, more serious plans for jar jar's character.
Queen Elsa I really don't think so. Palpatine is clearly the Phantom Menace, not the audience but to the characters in the movie.

The Jar-Jar-as Sith reveal would have been the greatest masterstroke of Lucas's career. This is the greatest missed opportunity in film history. Instead of a prequel trilogy that was generally regarded as disappointing and inferior to the original trilogy, this twist (revealing Jar Jar as the secret inverse-Yoda Sith Master, with Sidious as his apprentice), would have been the greatest in Star Wars history -- equal to "I am your father" -- and one of the greatest in movie history. Everything about the prequels would have been overturned; everything that seemed simple and stupid would have been revealed to be ingenious. And Lucas chickened out, just because he was afraid of people calling Star Wars "racist."
It would have been amazing if they didn't chicken out
Say what you will about Jar Jar. But hes more original than the entire TFA movie put together.
Nothing has ever been said that is further from the truth than that bullshit you wrote
but The Force Awakens is just copy and pasting scenes from the original trilogy that people liked. The entire move was made to appeal to people who would get the references, the way scenes were shot, certain lines, they wanted to play it safe and not take any risks...so they didn't try anything actually original.
Adam Adkins True
Clubber Lang nostalgia wank
This and the bit with him smiling at the funeral are unbelievable.
You really need to watch the movie with the sound turned off and you get an entirely different impression.
I know. It's right there: Yoda says "Always there are two, a master and an apprentice, no more, no less," and Maul is dead, so there must be two at that point -- and right there, just steps away, Jar Jar is standing RIGHT BESIDE Sidious.
@@jetuber then that would mean that with maul there wouldve been 3...
@@jetuber the sith rule of two wasn't followed as stricly in the star wars trilogy then it was maybe when the sith where at the height of their power. Palpatine has like 3 apprentices at once at some points
if this turns out to be true, the fans will destroy all cinemas worldwide... now everything makes sense. jar jar should have been the main villian of EP2. but the concept was canceled because as GL said: he gave him too mich comedic elements... the fans started to hate him... now revealing that he did everything on purpose would be not only the greatest redemption of a movie prequel in history, but also George Lucas' personal peace of mind. If this happens they will build a 50m George Lukas statue of gold... I swear it.
And i would pay homage to that statue every year like some sort of holiday, polishing it and bowing in respect.
He meant that he is furst fully CGI character. If you want to defend the Prequels (I love to do it) defend them for what they are, not for what they could have been.
George Lucas is a genius!
Also I noticed that your video has the earliest upload date! Props to you, man!
yep
WE DOUBTED HIM
A failed genius, because he chickened out from using his all-time greatest idea.
These are great! Another situation I noticed is in the scene where Qui Gon is talking to Anakin about the midichlorians. Toward the end of their discussion you can see Jar Jar listening in and then suddenly start walking away nonchalantly.
Do yousa know da tragedy of darth binks the wise?
awesome. i think jar jar also mind tricked amidala to go back to naboo when he waved his hand and said "wesa gota grand army" then she was like "ive decided to go back to naboo"
Was it just me, or did something always feel a little... "Off" about his eyes? Gungans have dark orange eyes, but jar jars just felt.. brighter? More saturated? More menacing? More "sauron"? The weird part, is that they seem to change through the movie too, which is a trait among sith. ref: ROTS anakin on mustafar. Their eyes seem to glow when they're 'aroused' by the dark side of the force, and overcome with intense emotions. When Obi wan senses something illusive, I don't think he was talking about mail or sidious, since they were all the way back at coruscant. If his force senses could reach that far, then you'd be able to feel almost ANY kind of threat, and I doubt even a mature padwan would be that strong. That feels more like a grand master/ Yoda ability with intense focus. I think the illusion that he sensed, was actually jar jar, since they were already around naboo. Think about it. He just happened to show up, and just happens to trick them so easily. He lures them with "I know a place we can go", then when they get there, it's "I shouldn't be here". He makes the Jedi curious, and allows them to continue of their own free will, thus reinforcing the illusion of them being in control. Obi wan in ANH also says "there's no such thing as luck, [only the force]. This also hints that jar jar wasn't killing droids completely by accident, but was actually in control of his actions the entire time. Star wars is heavily influenced by martial arts, especially through swordsmanship and fighting. one particular technique that comes to mind, is the "drunken monkey". It is unpredictable, and highly confusing to the opponent. It moves as something non-human, and lashes out with extremely loose thrusts. Essentially slapping someone with a limp arm, while also giving it the power of a real punch. I think that jar jar, as a force user, is... "The monkey". He's juvenile, clumsey, limp (arms always hanging and back always hunched), and especially... "Lucky". There's no doubt about it that jar jar is some kind of nemesis, and orchestrated the plot from the very beginning. People who hate jar jar, are actually the fools who fell for his little trick. He's a trickster, the fool, and the monkey. His posture directly indicates that, since gungans seem to always stand upright. Neck high, arms straight, chest forward, legs at attention. Jar jar is... The complete opposite. If given the opportunity, he could kill a Jedi master, and make it look like a complete accident without revealing his identity. He's the MASTER of disguise, and the MASTER of drunken fist combat. Next time someone mocks jar jar, say that he played them like a damn fiddle for 19 years...
If they made this happen it would have blown even non fans minds
You are the man!!! I've been on a binge, searching for info and ultimately proof since the word broke out. This is it.
This was actually supposed to be revealed in the second movie of the prequel trilogy, Attack of the Clones, but it wasn't because fans were raging about Jar Jar Binks and almost everyone hated him. I think it's too late now, the great potential of this epic plot twist got wasted. :'(
The guy made it to the Senate. That should be enough proof
Wow if that's what they were going for, it's creepy how powerful he is.
After seeing this, damn, it would have been sick to have Jar jar be a villan
Remember how they introduced Yoda.
Could be they originally had plans for him, after all they expected Jar-Jar to be a really big (or at least loved) character, they didn't expect him to be as hated as he was
No wonder why this episode is called the phantom menace. Jar Jar has always been creepy. Fooling everyone including Palpatine would turn him into one of the best stealth villains.
Palpatine or Anakin is The Phantom Menace. These questions have been answered, for fucks sake.
@@ceedubya4634 Nope. The plan was to have Jar Jar be what Count Dooku was.
I always thought it was weird when I was a kid but I always thought that I saw jar jar mouth the same lines when other ppl talk. I'm like "why is his mouth always moving?" If he really is like how the theory suggest...then realize he did this multiple times in front of several Jedi and was never sensed.
Indeed, Jar Jar is an even better actor than Palpatine.
@@kungfumaster51 Jar Jar is the master. Palpatine the apprentice.
Love the placement of R2D2 in the first clip he knew something was up all along. George was a ducking genius man, such as shame we couldn’t let him see his vision through
Also, oh my god, has anyone ever actually tried zooming in on his eyes randomly like this before? Eyes give away people's thoughts, and often times the way he moves his eyes and focuses on people is cold, calculating, sinister...
+DETHREAPER11 His eyes are also YELLOW, too! If you're still confused, look what happened to Anakin when he went full on 'DARK SIDE'
Mesa comin bak!
Yes brother!!! Me'sa loves fellow gungan like you'sa

If he does, I will never enjoy Star Wars as much as I do now.
Percy Pourier Not like it's going to be AMAZING anyways, he destroyed half of the EU making this film.
+Draven Flores Oh no, not the EU!!
Unshaved Malevolence I was just sharing my opinion.
It was only last year in 2014 that I realized how deeply unpopular Jar Jar was. Does anyone else like him?
+0IIIIII I don't like him particularly but I don't dislike him, he never really bothered me
pathofoblivion yeah, it's all weird.
+0IIIIII I mean, I saw star wars as a child, so I unconditionally like jar jar
Sammy I like him too. I'm glad this fan-theory/scrapped plan to make Jar Jar a Sith agent failed, because I do like him. He's just trying to do his best to stop evil and help his friends.
+0IIIIII I've always liked him because his character created conflict and irritation in other characters. He even made Gui Qon (sp) get irritable at dinner.
To find out there's something deeper is even more amazing. And I think the hand waving, the incredible Drunken Gods master techniques, the mouthing of what people are saying as they are saying it, the 20' jedi leaps, and the smile at Gui Qon's (sp) funeral, plus more that I've forgotten make this uncontestable in my view.
Jar Jar is the key to all of this
Just on reddit.... Think about the movies title 'the phantom menace' who do you think that refers to?
I mean that's directly about about Palpatine though
@@beeaggro2593 except its not. Hes a phantom to the star wars characters, but the audience know exactly who palpatine is so hes not a phantom. Jar Jar is the real phantom, we dont see it coming
Here's a quite from The Phantom Menace:
Obi-wan: I have a bad feeling about this.
Qui-gon: I don't sense anything.
Obi-wan: It's not about the mission master, it's something elsewhere, elusive.
@@mouse7965 The movie is intended to watch chronologically. And even if audience knows, characters don't. That's what matters.
@@user-xx6vy9ri8p wrong. Also, "jar jar is the key to all this" also ahmed best, jar jars actor said a decent amount of the script was changed after the reaction to jar jar
You know what to do JJ.
Jar-Jar being Snoke would have been so much more interesting than what we actually got.
An important thing to remember is that Jar Jar is an entirely CGI character. Meaning that every single movement he makes, from full battle scenes to tiny twitches, are entirely planned out with meaning. Those mouth movements he's making aren't nervous movements or clearing his throat, they where out in there on purpose.
All hail dark lord Jar Jar
The evidence is through the roof and it KILLS me that my best friend who actually introduced me to SW lore doesn't believe this
How can he not believe it? It's clear from looking at jar jars mouth when they talk that he is controlling them. A cgi character doesn't just do that on accident it must have been intentional.
@@LisaAnn777 EXACTLY. He's so stoic that I can't tell if he's just memeing or if he truly doesn't see what is clearly presented in the movie
Literally, and I do mean the word literally literally, every scene in SW Episode 1 with Jar Jar is incredibly suspicious. Multiple times I've gone through scene by scene and it's literally every fucking scene, it's 100% intentional that he's made to act this way
Darth Jar Jar the real phantom menace
The first movie Jar Jar appears in is titled “The Phantom Menace”...
Holy shit this legitimately gave me chills. Fucking eerie
Is Jar Jar the new Shrek?
+Ocelot Totally. They both have layers.
It honestly wouldn't take that much to make this work. Have Jar Jar show up in that abandoned factory on Coruscant at the end of AotC with Dooku and Sidious. We have the big reveal, and to top it off we can have Jar Jar ritually sacrifice himself to Sidious to keep the Rule of Two intact. Additionally, we can make Jar Jar's backstory that of Sifo-Dyas, thus explaining who made the deal with the Kaminoans and erased the planets.
He was the chosen one!!!
I know that if the Darth Jar Jar thing actually happened it would've been memed to hell. I doubt everyone would be acting like they are now.
They should make a prequel of the prequels focused on Jar Jar becoming a Sith Lord while Palpatine becomes his apprentice. TOO BAD DISNEY DOESN'T HAVE THE BALLS TO DO IT.
ep.10 will be:
Somehow Jar Jar Binks returned.
If Jar Jar is a sith it would be more mind-blowing then finding out Luke is Vader's son.
Darth Jar Jar > Snoke
Oh fuck, it's all true. Too many coincidences. Fuck.
the queen wishes it
she's curious about the planet
the queen wishes it

Mind. F-ing. Blown.
What if Jar Jar was supposed to be Darth Plagueis?
I just noticed another part that he does this weird lip sync, when Anakin's mother tries forbidding Anakin from racing because it's too dangerous. Qui-Gon responds "your mother's right," and Jar Jar lip syncs that exactly. That's so weird! Haha! Maybe he has echolalia.
He also did a force jump
It would have been cool if Jar Jar turned out to be some kind of bounty hunter or something, it would be a cool twist to have him suddenly turn against them. Like that black guy from Total Recall
+CosmicUndeadElf He was actually planned to originally be a mercenary who would turn on them.
iamobeliskquake That would have been better
***** Or that
I wish George Lucas had stuck to his guns, and ignored the whining of all of us "genius" types, who think we know how to tell a story. To this day people bitch about the pre-quels, and it didn't have to be like this.
No wonder Dooku was so hastily written.
"Well I don't approve."
It's too bad they never went the evil Jar Jar route in the movies... That would have made the Prequels SUPER awesome.
I heard that originally he was supposed to be one of the main villains. But it was soon scrapt
If Jar Jar was the Sith Lord in the prequels. The Prequels might beat the original trilogy
There probably were big plans for Jar Jar, it's a shame that people didn't see it at the time and because of the backlash he was sidelined - what a shame.
holy shit...
I see the prequels in a new way now...
holy shit..
my mind is shocked.
Our Dark Lord... exposed.
I deem this plausible
Well people did bash episode one for Jar Jar, but Lucas had a plan to make Jar Jar a surprise. Only now people recognise that their "was" a good plan.
Creepy af
Jar Jar will rip them to fukin shreds in the new movie.
D I N G D O N G
Darth jar jar is my head cannon now
Just as they say QUEEN WISHES, the music gets spooky, you can´t appreciate here but it happens.
Like some kind of blakc magic happened
Think about it tho...this would be fukin INSANE. It would be a plot twist talked about for 50 years. This is Citizen Kane level shit.
I only just found out about this and it horrifies me...
"Yousa feeble skills are no match, for the power of the dark sideto"
so what George Lucas said ..... was true ?
The Darth jar jar toy may prove that jar jar is a Sith Lord.
Jar Jar: *Rips off cloke*
It was me Obi-Wan! It was me Anakin! It was me all along!!
