The Darth Jar Jar theory is bullshit. It's fucking bullshit and can be easily disproven by the original trilogy's mere existence. George Lucas is actually a hack who just wanted more shekels from selling merch to kids and anyone who remotely entertains the idea that Jar Jar existed as anything more than a tool to extract wealth from tired parents is a retarded redditor

>>217418770Honestly, there is a variant of this I could buy, where it's less that Jar Jar is a sith lord, and more that he's some natural drunken master type force user, who's just so in touch with the force that neither him nor anyone around him can even sense that he's there or using the force because he's just part of nature.The reason I think this would make sense as an original direction for him that could have gotten its own subplot, is that in the end we got no real setup or explanation for why Yoda ended up the way he did.It works either way, but the whole going from the clean, industrial and gentrified to shit Jedi Temple to 'swamp hermit' thing could have been eased in a bit more with the Jedi observing that there's something they forgot about the Force in the way it protects this bumbling fool.
>>217418864>no real setup or explanation for why Yoda ended up the way he did.You mean him on Dagobah acting all whacky? He was testing Luke's patience. Anakin was a known hothead.
>>217419268>Instantly drops his wacky personality the moment Luke gets frustrated "I cannot teach him. The boy has no patience"Yeah, that Anon's a retard who wasn't paying attention.
>>217418770It would have been better than what we got. I love the Sith Jar Jar idea because it retrospectively gives a point to his character and retarded antics, and his design looks like it's built from the ground up to turn into a scary evil motherfucker.I can imagine the scene quite easily where they get to the throne room of the evil Sith phantom menace and Jar Jar turns, his floppy ears lift into a position behind his head like the hood of a cobra, his yellow eyes giving a slight glow, and him suddenly talking normally, intelligently, menacingly ...Could have been a pretty epic moment that helped fix the first two films.
You can see him mind tricking Padme in episode 1.
>>217419268>You mean him on Dagobah acting all whacky?Less him acting whacky, and more why he went to the most desolate, uncivilized place imaginable, while none of the movies really suggest you need to do that to hide. (Anakin who was somehow 'stronger in the force than Yoda' went perfectly unnoticed on Tatooine, as did Obi-Wan whose reason for being there was just to watch over Luke, who was only there because of family. Meanwhile Leia who is also force sensitive was in the court of a senator on what is implied to be a relatively urbanized planet, etc.The whole hiding out in a swamp thing just thematically suggests that Yoda as a mystic master is 'in touch with nature', especially with how his lesson is about how the Force is all about life force, etc, but in the prequel era the only Jedi Temple we see is in Corruscant which while technically full of life, is also just completely cut off from nature. (Incidentally Palpatine can hide perfectly well in Corruscant with no issues either.)So Jar Jar being a reminder to Yoda about some lost element of Jedi teachings that inspires him to spend his exile surrounded by plantlife and wilderness would make sense to me.
If Jar Jar was a Sith, why did Palpatine have to stage a piece of political theatre to manipulate Jar Jar into making a motion of No Confidence or whatever to the Senate? Why go through that whole song and dance routine with a colleague? Palps could have conferred with his fellow Sith Lord and told him it was a necessary step in their master plan, and Jar Jar, being a Sith, would have been happy to oblige.
