It would've been one of the most unexpected and well done heel-turns in cinema history I mean, if you're an evil mastermind, It makes sense to pose as a fool and secretly direct your apprentice--Sidious--to pursue power Sidious is the face, but Jar Jar would've been the brains Would've been so cool if they kept dropping hints leading up to JarJar killing someone with the force so the audience knows what he is before the characters do Build that terror of him stabbing them in the back till he reveals himself and sets his master plan into motion I... honestly want to see if I can make a fan film of this...
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.
@hulkhatepunybanner that's just Lucas coping so hard because he regrets not following through what would've been the best plot twist ever. There's too much evidence
The threat hiding in plain sight all along was Palpatine. Any unironic belief that Jar Jar was the Sith Lord all along is only backed up by fabricated evidence. I once believed this video but looking back it’s pathetic how easily his points are shattered.
He became so powerful, the only thing he feared was losing his power... which of course, he did. Unfortunately, the fans hated him, so his role was changed due to backlash. Ironic. He could change the fates of others, but not his own.
I will always push this theory. Jar Jar was simply in the right place at the right time waaaay too often. It clinched it with me when he handed full control of the republic to palpatine.
@Repent or you will likewise perish. and here I am… still standing, even though people like you have told me again, and again that I was soon to be smithed by thy god… but no god yet.
@Repent or you will likewise perish. Amen brother ✊🏿💯🙏 "She lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose semen was like that of horses." Ezekiel 23:20
Even if this theory is true, it just means George Lucas squandered the best bit of writing that went into the prequel trilogy. That's nothing to applaud.
right? jar jar revealing himself as a sith in count dookoos place in attack of the clones would be much more climatic, and an immediate pardon for the travesty that was phantom menace
+Matthew Milliken it would have cause you didnt know count dooku before the second movie. and jar jar seems like a village idiot. you would never expect someone like him to be a sith lord and yet he always seems to be avoiding curtain death that normal he shouldnt
+Spatan exp Agreed but the blame still falls on the writer who pulled the punch. If you have the interest, there are videos about Metal Gear Solid 2 circulating that explain in detail what post modernism is, and how that game was a briliant ruse to trick or even punish people who pre-ordered on the basis that it had to be good. People didn't realize how deep that game went for many years and only recently was it more widely accepted. As OP said however, no matter that ep7 brings, for this to be true means Lucas squandered what could have been his most memorable work, all because he didn't have the courage to see it through, and that makes me kinda pity him. So many people were happy to see Disney take it off his hands in hopes they couldn't do any worse than him.
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? *Edit for spelling
@@doctorspook4414 Well you think for someone having grown up on a desert planet and been acclimated to the climate, they would be used to it after 9 years. He wouldn’t get cold at night anymore, despite being a boy, it’s not like he’s fragile because of his young age. He needs to be given a new reason to be cold, and simply because deserts get cold at night and he’d be well weathered to it already, that doesn’t really stand as a valid argument
Would actually make sense too, not just for mirroring (or "rhyming with") the original trilogy with Yoda, but for having such a ridiculous character in the story in the first place!
If they actually made this canon, it could potentially shift some people's opinions of the prequels, if they knew Jar Jar was intentionally trying to be an annoying idiot to trick everyone, that could change everything.
Budred123 Yeah, that would have been great. Too bad Lucas didn't stick to his guns. If he'd gone out with a message "just be patient" or something, I don't know. I full heartedly believe the theory, just so I can bare watching the prequels again.
This... I wholeheartedly believe that if Lucas made this canon, then the fanbase would hate the prequels, and not take it as seriously, even though that Jar Jar being the villain makes much more sense, because it's hidden in the details so much.
+AshtonColeman I thought the same thing. looking closer all the gungan have yellow eyes... but Jarjar's do appear different on closer inspection. it's almost like he Included everything he was suppose to cut to keep the fans happy
+AshtonColeman I can't believe they didn't include that in the video! Does no one notice that Anakin's eyes change color when he is made Palpatine's apprentice?
+Joe Head I've noticed that it switches on and off. You see his eyes are yellow after he slaughters the remaining Separatist leaders, but they're back to normal when he's talking to Padme.
+Joe Head all sith have that. It's called dark side degradation. The farther to the dark side you go, the more severe. The yellowed eyes are just beginning.
not just associated, anakins eyes literally turn sith yellow in revenge of the sith both when he kills the seperatists and when he loses to obiwan on mustafar iirc, 2 defining moments of hatred and anger in shaping darth vader
*You see Kylo Ren standing in front of Vader's burned helmet.* Anny... *Kylo Ren takes off his helmet and two busty ears plop out.* Meesa gonna avenge you.
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.
This. And if that's true, btw, there are dozens out there keeping this secret and not speaking out, despite Lucas's reputation not being at its peak. I'm fearing it's not true. But like Justin Trudeau's dad being Fidel Castro, this is a conspiracy theory I simply CHOOSE to believe anyway.
99% chance he's not the Sith Lord.......but if he is..........His character will be revived and people just might think as JarJar as the awesome Sith Lord deceiver!
Imagine if this was true and when Jar Jar revealed who he really was he had a *different voice*! Jar-Jar: Misa gonna- **changes voice** kill all of the Jedi!
AmethystEyes and then he'd transform his ear turns Into horns his eyes come into his face and goes blood red his teeth turn sharp and his skin turns Pale
That would be funny indeed, but "Darth Jar Jar" was only meant to *pretend* to be a comic-relief buffoon. It would make him really, REALLY damn creepy if the harmless idiot we all know and hate all of a sudden became a cold, mischievous, dead-serious evil figure. And that would be fucking awesome.
Palpatine was brought back from the dead, he died but said there are ways, unnatural ways. Possibly jar jar brought him back to life? Cause jar jar didn't die, where was jar jar this whole time? Recreating Palpatine.
I always found it strange how the Jedi are convinced that there can only be two Sith, a master and a apprentice. The rule of two could be an excellent ploy by the Sith, what a better way than to convince your enemy your reach is limited to just two.
I feel like it's because they factor in arrogance of the sith. They are so evil they all fight for the same top spot but even at the top a leader needs atleast one to trust.
Thats a great point, the ancient sith were like that. But Sidious uses the rule of two because it makes the only dark side force users extremely powerful since the Force is shared among the users
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.
Hmm, maybe not the whole Senate. Just using hand-gestures to help make his point. The events of the movie should have been persuasive enough for the Senators.
I think if George Lucas went down the "Jar-Jar=Sith" route, someone else would have probably been giving the speech. Because Jar-Jar would have to be in Count Dooku's place on Geonosis, supervising the execution of Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padme.
Another level of brilliance hero imo is that Jar Jar is a Gungan, and as we saw in episode 1 when Bos Nas was resisting the mind trick, Gungans are resistant to jedi mind control/mind reading. Jar Jar is the perfect Sith to hide in plain sight because the Jedi wouldn't expect to be able to sense/read/control a gunhan anyway.
+san delag Oh, and jawas. They have yellow eyes too. Oh yeah, and every single other gungan has the same eyes that jar jar has. I guess it's a nation of sith? lol
Re-watched 1, 2 and 3 and because of this I'm looking at the movies in a completely different way. All I can think of now is at the end of ep 7 rylo is going to pull off his helmet and those big floppy ears pop out. zemorph42
It always made confused that Jar Jar was even in the government. Like this random character is suddenly speaking infront of the whole senate and they just accept it and go with what he says it was always weird
*Sure. A species like the Gunguns with their own technology, society, advanced civilization created without human help and considered so primitive that they were never invited to join the Republic... how can they have one of their own representative speak in the Senate?* What next? The "primitive" Mayans or Egyptians building the tallest structures in the world without without the help of white people or uh extraterrestrials. How can that be possible? So weird.
It's probably the only conspiracy theory I believe in and it's canon to me, the whole thing makes the lore more interesting and maybe I'm just a sucker for surprise villains.
Just think though, many people say that the biggest twist in films was when Vader revealed himself as Anakin, now imagine revealing Jar Jar as the greatest Sith ever, it would set a whole new bar for plot twists
If this is all true and George abandoned this idea out of fear of back-lash, then that is really sad. It would have been one of the greatest twists of all time. George, please find a way to bring this idea back into fruition.
Yes, I think it would be amazing but he’d have to have the guts to pull it off. I’m convinced purely from his eyes, calling Padme “hot” to a little boy and R2D2 jabbing him in the ass.
Bro I can't believe George Lucas chickened out with Jar Jar, we would have all respected the character more if he had became a Sith Lord, and he would probably be hated less.
i think it was more out of contempt, or at least the start of it. the fact that he sold his baby, the starwars ip to a heartless corporation only seals in the fact that george did it as revenge and closure against the toxic fanbase
The attitude towards Jar Jar would have instantly switched, because people would have understood that his buffoonery in the first movie was intentional.
Obi-wan's quote "In my experience, there's no such thing as luck" would've suddenly taken on a whole lot more meaning if they kept with the Darth Jar Jar plot.
@@surchipparoski9814 Yeah it's him who gives Palpatine the power after all. It's just kept subtile which imho makes it even better. If he's "Dark Yoda", then he shouldn't have an agenda, but be about pure mischief instead of Yoda's harmony.
Jar Jar was the phantom Menace. AKA operated as a Phantom. Then when his work was done faded into the background like a phantom. Also I think it would be great if they made a series about Jar Jar. I know there was alot of backlash and no one liked him. But if they stuck to the script I think it would have been turned out better for the trilogy in the long run.
I honestly hope in one of the Disney shows they do a fun after credit scene of Luke confronting Jar Jar and explaining all of this, then revealing he is a Sith, and having a duel. Solely for the fans and not necessarily cannon. Like an April Fool’s prank.
If there was ever a time for Darth Jar Jar it would have been episode 9, the fact that they brought Palpy back instead tells me they will never do Darth Jar Jar
To further the parallels between Jar Jar and Yoda: They are the only two major characters (at least that I can think of) who have a weird way of speaking.
+smasila Which I would believe if the title was "Maxi Big is da Bombad Force". Remember, Abrams is not a fan of Jar Jar or midi-chlorians, and I'm not under the impression that he's looking for ways to make them seem cool in the eyes of like-minded SW fans. This is a theory concerning an (unconfirmed) abandoned plot thread peppered with quite a bit of speculation and straw grasping concerning the previous trilogy and has no bearing on the new trilogy that's coming out. In the trailers and the character designs and the use of practical effects, the sense I get is that TFA is love letter to the OT and not some attempt to redeem the Prequels or reconcile them with the OT. It's remotely possible that Snoke is Binks and that Abrams has professed hatred for the character as a means to confuse us and obfuscate a major plot twist, but I highly doubt it and will eat my hat if it turns out to be true.
Don't forget the strange speaking patterns both Yoda and Jar Jar have. Plus, Yoda's jumping and hectic fighting style versus Jar Jar's Drunken Kung Fu would've made for an interesting fight.
+RandomUserX99 True but Gungan's are known to have extremely long legs. I don't think there is many other examples of the agility they have however so who knows.
About the point that jar jar might be the higher sith Lord than sidious, remember what qui gon said: "There is always a bigger fish." Coincedence? I think not.
More onscreen development besides the usual throwaway different versions of "he was unsatisfied with the Jedi and the Republic so he left" would have been good
Honestly, this must’ve been real at some point. I think I recall an interview with George Lucas where he says something like “Jar Jar is the key to all of this”. Could’ve been a joke, but it doesn’t seem so. I think the most crucial part is Jar Jar’s smile in Qui Gon’s funeral. It’s important to note his CGI movement is specifically intentional. I truly believe that at some point in time this was canon. I wish the plot point wasn’t dropped
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.
@@doofuscawt It's not dropped, just downplayed, I mean it still comes full circle when he hands emergency powers to the chancellor. I think this is for the better though. I don't think he was in cahoots with Sidious. He's like a dark Yoda, he has no agenda, but spreads mischief instead of harmony.
ttv0 sorry, was really hoping that Darth Jar Jar might be real! it would have actually made star wars 7 so much better instead of it being a remake of a new hope
You know what, I'm all for this theory. The idea that Jar Jar has been influencing character's decisions and actions via mind control is actually terrifying.
Darth Plagueis: Sheev, Sheev, you will go to the Naboo system. Sheev Palpatine: Naboo system? Darth Plagueis: There you will learn from Darth Binks, the Sith Lord who instructed me.
+Pariah Maybe. One of the not often used Definitions for Menance is Plague, and the way Jar Jar acted was also another definition of Menace, as in pain in the butt.
+Kurt Crockenberg Yoda never died. He simply became one with the force. He vanished into thin air... poof, he was gone. When all the other Jedi died, their bodies remained. All he needs to do is find a willing host to control, re-materialize himself or be reborn.
Jar Jar isn't as powerless and stupid as he plays. From the movies to Star Wars Rebels, the amount of times he mistakenly kills enemies and get out of situations is way way beyond luck.
It's worth noting that the Star Wars canon has explored the idea of non-Jedi or non-Sith Force users before, such as the Nightsisters on the planet Dathomir or the Bendu on the planet Atollon. It's possible that Jar Jar could be interpreted as another example of a non-traditional Force user.
The Clone Wars had Asaaj Ventress as another Sith, but one breaking the Rule of Two. Jar-Jar manipulating Palpatine and Dooku wouldn't be out of the question.
Yeah I mean, Christopher Lee was cool, but he was wasted in the rushed role of Dooku. This would have made the annoying Jar Jar more important, link the missing pieces, AND give the hate club what they've wanted - a REASON for Jar Jar's death! He really SHOULD have kept this intact.
Grevious was the most badass apprentice at least in the clone wars, but yea I wouldn't mind dooku being replaced by darth jar jar, but on the otherhand dooku has one of the coolest lightsabers, so meh.
I love the idea that the buffoon is really the hidden evil . Would have been awesome to have had the original plans go through . I am beyond convinced this is what is was / supposed to be .
Same for me, I've heard others mention The Mule from the Foundation series and this could be the SW equivalent to that (as I read those books and did end up liking that character)
Lmao, Maul was neither a hidden puppetmaster nor much of a menace. Sidious makes more sense as the reason for the title, but even he is hardly an unknown menace.
This blew my mind! Holy shit I actually kinda like the prequels now, it's mysterious. Makes me wonder if there are more theories like this hidden away...
Found Jar Jar super annoying back in the day, but being older and if not wiser at least more chill, I found him only a minor distraction when rewatching it recently. Although he is way more fun when looking through the Darth Jar Jar lens. Would’ve loved to see the ”true prequel” trilogy with Darth Jar Jar unmasked as the true mastermind.
*Definitely, go with the "not wiser" choice if you think that a character based on Goofy and with zero involvement in the underlying Sith plan is actually at the center of the six part saga.* jeez
Nuclear Games In an episode of The Clone Wars (which is canon), Jar Jar inadvertently blew up the ranks of Hondo's pirates and one of them said "He's no representative, he's a Plague!" Jar Jar = Darth Plagueis.
It’s annoyed me how accurate this is.. I feel like this would actually be a great fit and would also tie into sending anakin to the dark side after being betrayed by jarjar, a close friend
If George Lucas had stuck to his guns and made Jar Jar the Sith equivalent of Yoda instead of chickening out, the prequels might have actually been awesome. But this isn't the fans fault for complaining. No, it's Lucas' fault for sacrificing good storytelling and artistic merit for the sake of appeasing the fans. Lucas had a chance to give us one of the biggest plot twists in cinema history not once but twice, and instead he chose to make the prequels nothing more than glorified toy commercials.
rashan rahamut No, it's still Lucas' fault. He failed to learn his lesson from the Ewoks. If he'd made Jar Jar just slightly less annoying this wouldn't have happened.
rashan rahamut Brilliant idea, but the execution was terrible. You could say the same thing for everything else in the trilogy. Pretty much everything that could have made them awesome was wasted somehow.
+ManiaMac1613 Try and say that the next time you're in the exact same position Lucas was in. We like to point and say how bad decisions were made; pretending we understand all the reasons behind them, but in reality you/we know nothing about it. We weren't them, we weren't there, and we most certainly never will be.
+MikoZ jar jar shoulda been flushed out of an airlock...that was my stance until I watched this...if they dont develop this more in upcoming movies to point to that, then my initial stance stands (airlock), but if they do reintroduce him as a sith lord, then that will blow my mind in a good way...it is indeed yoda acting the fool to hide the true nature and power.
You put quotation marks but didn’t cite who said it. You’re just making up that someone said that. Don’t put quotes around something if it’s just your own thoughts. That’s not a quote dude
C-3po says he is "Odd indeed"... A quintuple entendre... 1)"Odd indeed" as in Weird 2)"Odd in deed" an in Odd in action 3) "Odd in deed" as in he is a lord, an owner of land and a sith lord 4)"Odd indeed " as in the remainder after taking two from three 5)"Odd indeed" as in he is Apex from the Middle English : from Old Norse odda-, found in combinations such as odda-mathr ‘third or odd man’, from oddi ‘angle ...he is the Phantom Menace.
z4rkenny its not a theory. Remember, this is one of the biggest movie seriese of all time. All animation is checked over, and thought of. Jar jar smiled at someones funeral. I cant remember whos, but the person was a jedi and his/her name started with a j
Emmanuel Goldstein no way. This theory is pretty cool and there's definitly some truth behind it but even a genius twist wouldn't save the crappy acting and writing in the prequels. The big reveal would just bounce right off Hayden Christensen's wooden face, and I can't even blame him. It would be hella hard to make such an insane reveal convincing.
I disagree, it (the thrilogy) wasn't very good but Jar Jar was still the worst character imaginable, I think they should've kept Darth Maul along longer.
+Will Deus I love how everyone is like "Oh God, everyone ruined it." Don't act like you didn't hate Jar Jar initially, too. EVERYBODY hated Jar Jar. I think this theory is genius, but I thoroughly admit I was a "fanboy" who hated on Jar Jar from day 1. I wish George would have stuck with his guns and gone with Jar Jar being a Sith Lord, but he didn't and we have what we have. Maybe J.J. Abrams will throw it in, though. A lot of people haven't heard this theory yet and if they revealed Jar Jar (with a brand new Serkis Sith voice) as the baddie, people's minds would be blown, but there would also be negative backlash because not everyone would understand. You'd have to do so many flashbacks to explain it in the new movie, that I think it's going to be too much of a hassle. Still great to think about what could have been... Just think, had George stuck with his guns, we were probably almost guaranteed to see Jar Jar die. Think about that.
+KamuiT I loved the ep 1 when it came out, and thought Jar Jar was funny. Didn't hate him at all. The tongue is numb got big laughs from me when I first saw the movie when it came out. So no - we all didn't hate Jar Jar initially. Just those who didn't have the depth to accept anything out of the mold of the originals.
They couldn't go through with it ..With all the backlash and everyone hating the prequel ..at least with yoda you find out who he is after he acts stupid for 10min ..If only they would do that with jar jar
I wonder why Lucas "chickened out." The fans universally hate Jar Jar. Having him turn out to be a bad guy would really fit. That would make more sense than Jar Jar only existing in order to be the only being in the Galaxy stupid enough to give Senator Palpatine "emergency powers."
I can't remember if it was part of this theory and just not mentioned in this video, but there's a theory that Yoda was put into his sorry, broken, hermit state during his fight with Jar Jar. Jar Jar would've almost certainly been killed, though, considering the original trilogy was meant to be the end, and having a sith lord above Sidious left unmentioned would have been... Strange...
If this was truly the case, why on earth did George change it ?. It would have made the pre-quells so much better ! Even though this theory has a kind of ''jokely'' fibe, I may actually have been convinced that it is true.
***** hell! I hated Jar Jar - but this theory makes me want to re-watch the pre-quels (I would never in a million years thought I would ever say that sentence, but it's true). As for racist, Jar Jar has a Caribbean accent, and is a wacky character, if you or any one else thinks that's racist, that's your problem. Because it certainly isn't mine.
+Terros I think it's ridiculous people thought it was racist, that's why I said it quotation marks. I liked jar jar when the movie came out because I was young and he was a goofy character. I'm just saying this would be why George Lucas did change it, he got a lot of backlash on jars jars character and stated in the video he "chickened out" and made count dooku to replace him.
The haters, the media, the staff, and especially the fans forced Lucas to not continue with Jar Jar. Was Jar Jar annoying had hell? Hell fucking yes. But if we let what happened go, and this came about it would have been film lore
@@bushdid911forever I think that was when he lost faith in his creation. I think it was around that time he started considering getting out. So, if I'm correct, the FANS are responsible for the Disney Kathleen Kennedy disaster
This is literally my favorite film theory of all time, it's just too awesomely legit to not be legit. XD it's basically like Jar Jar is Moriarty from Sherlock, he's the evil mastermind behind the entire plot of the Jedi's demise even though he seems like just a minor character. He lays low out of suspicion by acting dumb and clueless while actually positioning himself in key points of the storyline to sway major decisions and events involving important characters, using the dark side of the force, to ultimately control the outcome of the entire galaxy. Jar Jar is actually one of the most powerful evil beings in the galaxy and almost no one suspects it. That is the real beauty of it. I legit don't even hate Jar Jar anymore
+Pandaoniman Just the idea... I mean... the freakin' Idea of a Dark Jar Binks... fighting against master Yoda... ... ...I don't know why but that single though put a big smile on my face ! And in the good way ! Of course it would be goofy as f**k, but... just the idea would be... okay, it would not be really clever, but in memory of what was Yoda in the first Trilogy, the symbolism is quite good ! X'D
Jazz The Cabbit :O What about that theory that Yoda was dead the whole time (with Luke). What if JarJar had hunted him down? That would have been a badass battle on Dagobah.
Even the dust-covered hermit on Tatooine was originally presented as "crazy old Ben," before his true identity as General Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Knight, was revealed.
that would've saved the whole jar jar hate that went on. my God, imagine jar jar slowly becoming evil or just revealing his real voice where he doesn't have goofy quirks. And you hate him already... it's genius. should've stuck with it.
They put J.J Abrams in charge so it will never happen. The next two movies will be copies of the rest of the original trilogy with nothing new to offer, because Abrams has nothing new or original or Plot twisting enough to offer us. He is the Michael Bay of Script writers.
Episode 9: Darth Jar Jar returns- Luke is fighting snoke,(possibly made windu) and kills snoke, then a red lightsaber goes through Luke from behind right in front of rey and ren (who are fighting each other), out steps Darth jar jar. Rey and ren (who turns good after seeing Luke dead) fight jar jar, who kills ren and then escapes from rey - lead up to a storyline of finding Darth jar jar in episode 10,11,12
I am sorry, but this is without a doubt the most blatant example I have seen in my whole life of 'I don't want this movie to be bad so I am going to pretend that it is a secret masterpiece'. I had heard of this 'theory', but I didn't think it would rely on seeing a character that it's obviously designed for little children fight in a way that is obviously designed to amuse little children, and thinking...hmmm he must be a secret martial arts master. I mean, is this video for real? Or is it ironic and I am missing the joke? I'm being serious, I don't think I can tell.
My headcanon is that the tradegy of Darth Plageius is about Jar Jars Master. It was implied that it was Palpatines master but it was never outright said. Just a fun headcanon.
the title refers to something that you can't see, but Darth Maul was on the cover of every product, so he wasn't the menace, so who was, Sidious? or Jar Jar?
Josh Webb Yup is true! Trust me cause I know a lot about star war, there some species that yellow eyes but if u notice jar jar binks’s eyes are not like the others of his species, it’s like the dark side eyes! And its known that if u are in dark side one of the effects of its corruption is ir eyes turn yellow like that!

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.
*Lucas already stated that Jar Jar Binks is based on Goofy.* You're just proving that fan fiction is the worst kind of literature.
@hulkhatepunybanner that's just Lucas coping so hard because he regrets not following through what would've been the best plot twist ever. There's too much evidence
Yeah, the multiple scenes showing Jar Jar surreptitiously mouthing precisely what other characters were saying is pretty conclusive evidence to me.
The threat hiding in plain sight all along was Palpatine. Any unironic belief that Jar Jar was the Sith Lord all along is only backed up by fabricated evidence. I once believed this video but looking back it’s pathetic how easily his points are shattered.
@@hulkhatepunybanner Being based on Goofy doesn't mean that he can't be evil. You clearly didn't pay attention to the video.
Keep in mind that Jar Jar is CGI so every little movement he does is deliberate.
Finally!! Someone who gets it! 👏 👏 sir, Bravo.
The like count is my area code idk why I'm telling this
its actually the opposite, early 2000s cgi characters typically had a lot of random, unneeded movements

He became so powerful, the only thing he feared was losing his power... which of course, he did. Unfortunately, the fans hated him, so his role was changed due to backlash. Ironic. He could change the fates of others, but not his own.
@Repent or you will likewise perish. star wars
@Repent or you will likewise perish. bro
I will always push this theory. Jar Jar was simply in the right place at the right time waaaay too often. It clinched it with me when he handed full control of the republic to palpatine.
ostensibly he's easily fooled though
it's all the smaller things adding up that are stronger

"She lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose semen was like that of horses." Ezekiel 23:20
Even if this theory is true, it just means George Lucas squandered the best bit of writing that went into the prequel trilogy. That's nothing to applaud.
+DarkdustDragon exactly. SOOO disappointed.
right? jar jar revealing himself as a sith in count dookoos place in attack of the clones would be much more climatic, and an immediate pardon for the travesty that was phantom menace
+Matthew Milliken it would have cause you didnt know count dooku before the second movie. and jar jar seems like a village idiot. you would never expect someone like him to be a sith lord and yet he always seems to be avoiding curtain death that normal he shouldnt
+DarkdustDragon I be honest im kind of annoyed with the fan boys who hated on him so much because this is actually a really good plot. dam it!
+Spatan exp Agreed but the blame still falls on the writer who pulled the punch. If you have the interest, there are videos about Metal Gear Solid 2 circulating that explain in detail what post modernism is, and how that game was a briliant ruse to trick or even punish people who pre-ordered on the basis that it had to be good. People didn't realize how deep that game went for many years and only recently was it more widely accepted. As OP said however, no matter that ep7 brings, for this to be true means Lucas squandered what could have been his most memorable work, all because he didn't have the courage to see it through, and that makes me kinda pity him. So many people were happy to see Disney take it off his hands in hopes they couldn't do any worse than him.
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?
*Edit for spelling
Almost all deserts can get very cold at night.
@@doctorspook4414 which is another way of saying he was feeling the Darkside.
@@doctorspook4414 Well you think for someone having grown up on a desert planet and been acclimated to the climate, they would be used to it after 9 years. He wouldn’t get cold at night anymore, despite being a boy, it’s not like he’s fragile because of his young age. He needs to be given a new reason to be cold, and simply because deserts get cold at night and he’d be well weathered to it already, that doesn’t really stand as a valid argument
That's so crazy !!!! For years I always that why is he shivering . It always seemed out of place It all makes since now . Thank you for this
@@unreal727 That would depend on the type of desert environment that he'd be going back to.
It's actually insane because this would have been an absolutely fucking massive plot twist.
Would actually make sense too, not just for mirroring (or "rhyming with") the original trilogy with Yoda, but for having such a ridiculous character in the story in the first place!

If they actually made this canon, it could potentially shift some people's opinions of the prequels, if they knew Jar Jar was intentionally trying to be an annoying idiot to trick everyone, that could change everything.
Budred123 Yeah, that would have been great. Too bad Lucas didn't stick to his guns. If he'd gone out with a message "just be patient" or something, I don't know. I full heartedly believe the theory, just so I can bare watching the prequels again.
Kenny J. Sometimes you just have to ignore the criticism and keep on with your ideas. That is what is great about George RR Martin
Slightly irrelevant, but I think the alarm sound in Rogue One sounds like Jar Jar screaming. You can watch a trailer and you'll hear it.
Budred123 Well, he certainly did trick the whole fanbase.
This...
I wholeheartedly believe that if Lucas made this canon, then the fanbase would hate the prequels, and not take it as seriously, even though that Jar Jar being the villain makes much more sense, because it's hidden in the details so much.
He has those Sith-colored eyes...
+AshtonColeman
I thought the same thing.
looking closer all the gungan have yellow eyes... but Jarjar's do appear different on closer inspection.
it's almost like he Included everything he was suppose to cut to keep the fans happy
+AshtonColeman Star Wars: The Old Republic: Knights of the Fallen Empire. The Emperor in it, the secret real Emperor, has yellow eyes.
+AshtonColeman I can't believe they didn't include that in the video! Does no one notice that Anakin's eyes change color when he is made Palpatine's apprentice?
+Joe Head I've noticed that it switches on and off. You see his eyes are yellow after he slaughters the remaining Separatist leaders, but they're back to normal when he's talking to Padme.
+Joe Head all sith have that. It's called dark side degradation. The farther to the dark side you go, the more severe. The yellowed eyes are just beginning.
I also realised that Jar Jar has yellow eyes a trait commonly associated with sith lords
not just associated, anakins eyes literally turn sith yellow in revenge of the sith both when he kills the seperatists and when he loses to obiwan on mustafar iirc, 2 defining moments of hatred and anger in shaping darth vader
The other gungans have yellowish eyes to, but Jar Jars are rather unsettling, very much a sith yellow. You can really see it at 5:28
And also black nails
In the first movie they put a lot of emphasis on the line "There's always a bigger fish...".
Isn't Phantom Menace the thing that made that line into a meme?
*You see Kylo Ren standing in front of Vader's burned helmet.*
Anny...
*Kylo Ren takes off his helmet and two busty ears plop out.*
Meesa gonna avenge you.
+Partyprice kylo ren isn't a sith.
lol what are you talking about of course he is
www.ign.com/articles/2015/08/25/star-wars-the-force-awakens-kylo-ren-is-not-a-sith-and-the-first-order-are-basically-nazis
Are you seriously trusting IGN?
Did you even read the article? The director, J.J Abrham said it himself. It's all over the internet and star wars wiki. Kylo Ren is NOT a sith.
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.
Honestly, it's a bit of a let down knowing that this may have been the plot all along and George chickened out.
Like tobi from Naruto
This.
And if that's true, btw, there are dozens out there keeping this secret and not speaking out, despite Lucas's reputation not being at its peak. I'm fearing it's not true.
But like Justin Trudeau's dad being Fidel Castro, this is a conspiracy theory I simply CHOOSE to believe anyway.
Fanning the flames for Anakin’s infatuation for Padme was a key move by Darth Jar Jar
Darth Skein, weaver of lies and deception.
Jar Jar is actually pretty scary looking and can make a really good sith lord.
99% chance he's not the Sith Lord.......but if he is..........His character will be revived and people just might think as JarJar as the awesome Sith Lord deceiver!
+Warlord25100 I heard that he was reincarnated as Darth Plagueis..?
+Marcus Hall yeah i agree especially that last scene walking with palpatine wearing all black
+OG Juxx Psycho What if he is darth plagueis? :D
+jade XY ??
Imagine if this was true and when Jar Jar revealed who he really was he had a *different voice*!
Jar-Jar: Misa gonna- **changes voice** kill all of the Jedi!
AmethystEyes I think it'd be funnier if he kept his annoying voice cause he'd try and be all scary and dramatic and keep sounding like that
AmethystEyes and then he'd transform his ear turns Into horns his eyes come into his face and goes blood red his teeth turn sharp and his skin turns Pale
That would be funny indeed, but "Darth Jar Jar" was only meant to *pretend* to be a comic-relief buffoon. It would make him really, REALLY damn creepy if the harmless idiot we all know and hate all of a sudden became a cold, mischievous, dead-serious evil figure.
And that would be fucking awesome.
Jar Jar's voice actor actually recorded a little clip where he does a "what would Darth Jar Jar sound like" voice.. It's pretty skin-tingling!
go for murderous clown
This legit would've been wayy better than the sequel trilogies' Palpatine is back for some reason bs
Yup
Imagine if Darth Jar Jar and Snoke teamed up. IMAGINE the reveal in the 2nd movie when Darth Jar Jar appears... that would have been life changing.
@@VincentVendettaOfficial oh yeah I can it now :D
Palpatine was brought back from the dead, he died but said there are ways, unnatural ways. Possibly jar jar brought him back to life? Cause jar jar didn't die, where was jar jar this whole time? Recreating Palpatine.
@@tripclipgt6573 I would accept a tenth star wars movie which caps it off with the search of the ultimate sith master, Binks.
I always found it strange how the Jedi are convinced that there can only be two Sith, a master and a apprentice. The rule of two could be an excellent ploy by the Sith, what a better way than to convince your enemy your reach is limited to just two.
I feel like it's because they factor in arrogance of the sith. They are so evil they all fight for the same top spot but even at the top a leader needs atleast one to trust.
Thats a great point, the ancient sith were like that. But Sidious uses the rule of two because it makes the only dark side force users extremely powerful since the Force is shared among the users
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.
It wasn’t that deep! The Rule of Two was established to eliminate in-Fighting among the Sith! That’s it! 😂
1:50 this is legit scary - Jar Jar just used force mind trick on the WHOLE SENATE. That's a whole another level of power.
Hmm, maybe not the whole Senate. Just using hand-gestures to help make his point. The events of the movie should have been persuasive enough for the Senators.
UNLIMAATTTEEEEDDDDDD POOOWWWWEEEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!!!
Morever the Jedi didn't even noticed
I think if George Lucas went down the "Jar-Jar=Sith" route, someone else would have probably been giving the speech. Because Jar-Jar would have to be in Count Dooku's place on Geonosis, supervising the execution of Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padme.
Another level of brilliance hero imo is that Jar Jar is a Gungan, and as we saw in episode 1 when Bos Nas was resisting the mind trick, Gungans are resistant to jedi mind control/mind reading. Jar Jar is the perfect Sith to hide in plain sight because the Jedi wouldn't expect to be able to sense/read/control a gunhan anyway.
JAR JAR EYES ARE YELLOW AND ONLY SITH HAVE YELLOW EYES
F......CK
+san delag Oh, and jawas. They have yellow eyes too. Oh yeah, and every single other gungan has the same eyes that jar jar has. I guess it's a nation of sith? lol

He doesn't hold the rights anymore. 😢 mickey mouses clubhouse has more control than Mr. Lucas.
Well then George needs to pitch the idea to Mickey,, and be convincing.
Let us send letters to them voicing this! That's the only way that it can work. I really want this to come true!
It was more or less that people hated Jar Jar when he was in the movie
Yes, I think it would be amazing but he’d have to have the guts to pull it off.
I’m convinced purely from his eyes, calling Padme “hot” to a little boy and R2D2 jabbing him in the ass.
Bro I can't believe George Lucas chickened out with Jar Jar, we would have all respected the character more if he had became a Sith Lord, and he would probably be hated less.
i think it was more out of contempt, or at least the start of it. the fact that he sold his baby, the starwars ip to a heartless corporation only seals in the fact that george did it as revenge and closure against the toxic fanbase
@@simunator he sold it because he wanted to spend time with his kids and not let it die, he'd been dedicating a lot of time on it
@Random you are not true fans then
The attitude towards Jar Jar would have instantly switched, because people would have understood that his buffoonery in the first movie was intentional.
its literally your fault for throwing hate at the actor
Obi-wan's quote "In my experience, there's no such thing as luck" would've suddenly taken on a whole lot more meaning if they kept with the Darth Jar Jar plot.
They did keep the Darth jar jar plot, he's the phantom menace.
It's mind blowing when you realise that rise of Skywalker would have been better if it was darth jar jar instead of palpatine.
@@surchipparoski9814 Yeah it's him who gives Palpatine the power after all. It's just kept subtile which imho makes it even better. If he's "Dark Yoda", then he shouldn't have an agenda, but be about pure mischief instead of Yoda's harmony.
Jar Jar was the phantom Menace. AKA operated as a Phantom. Then when his work was done faded into the background like a phantom. Also I think it would be great if they made a series about Jar Jar. I know there was alot of backlash and no one liked him. But if they stuck to the script I think it would have been turned out better for the trilogy in the long run.

+Skarlet My bets are we are going to see the Dark Side of Jar Jar in the new movie hence the "Force Awakens" title.
+smasila Which I would believe if the title was "Maxi Big is da Bombad Force". Remember, Abrams is not a fan of Jar Jar or midi-chlorians, and I'm not under the impression that he's looking for ways to make them seem cool in the eyes of like-minded SW fans.
This is a theory concerning an (unconfirmed) abandoned plot thread peppered with quite a bit of speculation and straw grasping concerning the previous trilogy and has no bearing on the new trilogy that's coming out. In the trailers and the character designs and the use of practical effects, the sense I get is that TFA is love letter to the OT and not some attempt to redeem the Prequels or reconcile them with the OT.
It's remotely possible that Snoke is Binks and that Abrams has professed hatred for the character as a means to confuse us and obfuscate a major plot twist, but I highly doubt it and will eat my hat if it turns out to be true.
Abrams did state that the "Darth Jar Jar" theory is his favorite, though.

Honestly, this must’ve been real at some point. I think I recall an interview with George Lucas where he says something like “Jar Jar is the key to all of this”. Could’ve been a joke, but it doesn’t seem so. I think the most crucial part is Jar Jar’s smile in Qui Gon’s funeral. It’s important to note his CGI movement is specifically intentional. I truly believe that at some point in time this was canon. I wish the plot point wasn’t dropped
I mean it’s literally in the video at 6:18
it got dropped cuz of the backlash sadly
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.
@@doofuscawt It's not dropped, just downplayed, I mean it still comes full circle when he hands emergency powers to the chancellor. I think this is for the better though. I don't think he was in cahoots with Sidious. He's like a dark Yoda, he has no agenda, but spreads mischief instead of harmony.
If this is true Lucas should have done something with it, because that would actually have been a really good idea and a great twist.
And maybe could have made the movies decent, MAYBE
I don't know why people would get pissed about if the said upfront that Jar Jar was the real power behind everything.
ttv0 still a better villain than whiny ol' Kylo Ren
Val corsi Alright
ttv0 sorry, was really hoping that Darth Jar Jar might be real! it would have actually made star wars 7 so much better instead of it being a remake of a new hope
This is the most interesting theory but funny at the same time.
You know what, I'm all for this theory. The idea that Jar Jar has been influencing character's decisions and actions via mind control is actually terrifying.
OneSixSix IDK It makes perfect sense
Ikr it really is
Like Finn said in Cars 2: "People can't seem to see they're being fooled because they're too busy laughing at the fool"
Darth Plagueis: Sheev, Sheev, you will go to the Naboo system.
Sheev Palpatine: Naboo system?
Darth Plagueis: There you will learn from Darth Binks, the Sith Lord who instructed me.
+Pariah Maybe. One of the not often used Definitions for Menance is Plague, and the way Jar Jar acted was also another definition of Menace, as in pain in the butt.
+Pariah Or like Vitate or Valkoron had multiple bodies
+erentheca Plagueis = Binks = Snokes. This Sith Lord can cheat death.
What if Yoda also faked his death? MIND BLOWN!!!!!!!
+Kurt Crockenberg
Yoda never died. He simply became one with the force.
He vanished into thin air... poof, he was gone.
When all the other Jedi died, their bodies remained.
All he needs to do is find a willing host to control, re-materialize himself or be reborn.
I'm suprised you didn't mention his yellow eyes.
he did
Yeah but most to all gungan have yellow eyes as well
than all gungan are evil
His entire species has yellow eyes
Which is why it is so easy for Jar Jar to masquerade as a harmless buffoon.
Jar Jar isn't as powerless and stupid as he plays. From the movies to Star Wars Rebels, the amount of times he mistakenly kills enemies and get out of situations is way way beyond luck.
Sinbreaker bro hes not in rebels
Jonathan I assume he's referring to the clone wars tv series, where jar jar fucks shit up and defeats mother fucking general grevious.
"luck" is essentially the force and manipulating it.
It's worth noting that the Star Wars canon has explored the idea of non-Jedi or non-Sith Force users before, such as the Nightsisters on the planet Dathomir or the Bendu on the planet Atollon. It's possible that Jar Jar could be interpreted as another example of a non-traditional Force user.
The Clone Wars had Asaaj Ventress as another Sith, but one breaking the Rule of Two. Jar-Jar manipulating Palpatine and Dooku wouldn't be out of the question.
I wish the prequels had gone in this direction.
If the fanboys shut up and didn't complain, then maybe we would have seen something cool like this. But the fanboys made the prequels what they are.
barbaro267 true
I like greivous tho
Yeah I mean, Christopher Lee was cool, but he was wasted in the rushed role of Dooku. This would have made the annoying Jar Jar more important, link the missing pieces, AND give the hate club what they've wanted - a REASON for Jar Jar's death! He really SHOULD have kept this intact.
Grevious was the most badass apprentice at least in the clone wars, but yea I wouldn't mind dooku being replaced by darth jar jar, but on the otherhand dooku has one of the coolest lightsabers, so meh.
I'm down. Make it cannon Disney.

I believe you.

Yes
i one of the comic books he does weild a light saber and when he ses rex i thorws it in the air after killing a droid blaton with the light saber
There is no doubt
🤣🤣
This really gives a new meaning to "The Phantom Menace", the title seems much less random now.
Siddhant Maithani it really sucks what could've been a great twist it would've shocked so many people and improve phantom menace by alot
Jordan Andrews true
Siddhant Maithani Palpatine IS the phantom menace
the phantom menace was meant to be maul I'm pretty sure
Lmao, Maul was neither a hidden puppetmaster nor much of a menace. Sidious makes more sense as the reason for the title, but even he is hardly an unknown menace.
Imagine if instead of the Disney sequels we got actual Canon sequels that would reveal jar jar as the ultimate sith lord above palpatine
Imagine a movie where the sith return and with this mysterious very powerfull sith lord. And at the movie its revealed it was Jar Jar Binks all along

Your own voice matches jar jars lips at this scene. Scary almost as if you too are being told what to say by him

WHOA!!!!!!
+Nali Rhys holy shit
Oh my Jesus, I think I shit myself
This blew my mind! Holy shit I actually kinda like the prequels now, it's mysterious. Makes me wonder if there are more theories like this hidden away...
FasterZone hidden were bro stupid land
I like the Count Dooku was a double agent theory
Actualy the prequels are way more intricated than people realize
There are -- Darth sidious was preparing the galaxy for an invasion.
FasterZone yes look into the Darth Vader connection to prequel villains.
Found Jar Jar super annoying back in the day, but being older and if not wiser at least more chill, I found him only a minor distraction when rewatching it recently. Although he is way more fun when looking through the Darth Jar Jar lens.
Would’ve loved to see the ”true prequel” trilogy with Darth Jar Jar unmasked as the true mastermind.
I don’t think he would be the mastermind, I think he was supposed to be Palpatine’s apprentice instead of Dooku.
*Definitely, go with the "not wiser" choice if you think that a character based on Goofy and with zero involvement in the underlying Sith plan is actually at the center of the six part saga.* jeez
Darth Jar Jar needs his own trilogy. Disney, make it happen.
i have another piece of evidence! you know how Jar Jar has yellow eyes?,well most of the other powerful sith have yellow eyes too! Darth Jar confirmed
Just like...literally every other member of his species. General Grievous also had yellow eyes, he's no Sith.
k
Nuclear Games In an episode of The Clone Wars (which is canon), Jar Jar inadvertently blew up the ranks of Hondo's pirates and one of them said "He's no representative, he's a Plague!" Jar Jar = Darth Plagueis.
good theory :]
#L
It’s annoyed me how accurate this is.. I feel like this would actually be a great fit and would also tie into sending anakin to the dark side after being betrayed by jarjar, a close friend
George Lucas already stated that JarJar is a sith lord.
This guy is just putting the pieces together for us to show the connection.
Source?
@@mattgilbert7347 George Lucas
*Is it accurate? Did you not watch the movie for yourself?* Can I sell you some ocean front property sight unseen? I promise it's real.
@@dough-moh that's not a source. a source is posting a link where he stated it, otherwise it's a hearsay.
If George Lucas had stuck to his guns and made Jar Jar the Sith equivalent of Yoda instead of chickening out, the prequels might have actually been awesome. But this isn't the fans fault for complaining. No, it's Lucas' fault for sacrificing good storytelling and artistic merit for the sake of appeasing the fans. Lucas had a chance to give us one of the biggest plot twists in cinema history not once but twice, and instead he chose to make the prequels nothing more than glorified toy commercials.
+ManiaMac1613 It is the fans fault.
rashan rahamut No, it's still Lucas' fault. He failed to learn his lesson from the Ewoks. If he'd made Jar Jar just slightly less annoying this wouldn't have happened.
ManiaMac1613 But that's the beauty of it he's an all powerful master of deception.
rashan rahamut Brilliant idea, but the execution was terrible. You could say the same thing for everything else in the trilogy. Pretty much everything that could have made them awesome was wasted somehow.
+ManiaMac1613
Try and say that the next time you're in the exact same position Lucas was in.
We like to point and say how bad decisions were made; pretending we understand all the reasons behind them, but in reality you/we know nothing about it.
We weren't them, we weren't there, and we most certainly never will be.
I love this theory. Imagine the moment when goofy Jar Jar turns to Yoda in the final fight to reveal himself as a Sith looking Jar Jar.
This was a GREAT explanation. Loved this video man!
+ScottHermanFitness Holy shit, it's Scott! Never knew you were a fan of Star Wars
+Mind the craft Hey b0ss!
kind of a redemption to the character and actually a pretty awesome twist

So if people wouldn't have hated Jar Jar that much, the prequels could have actually made sense?
+cc22ful Yes, George Lucas took the safe route, really sad.
george lucas didnt know what was going on with his own movies lol
george lucas didnt know what was going on with his own movies lol
george lucas didnt know what was going on with his own movies lol
+MikoZ jar jar shoulda been flushed out of an airlock...that was my stance until I watched this...if they dont develop this more in upcoming movies to point to that, then my initial stance stands (airlock), but if they do reintroduce him as a sith lord, then that will blow my mind in a good way...it is indeed yoda acting the fool to hide the true nature and power.
“George isn’t a good enough storyteller to make Jar Jar the master hiding in plain sight.”
*literally Padme in the first movie*
And palpatine
Kinda late to the party but when did she say that?
You put quotation marks but didn’t cite who said it. You’re just making up that someone said that. Don’t put quotes around something if it’s just your own thoughts. That’s not a quote dude
@@AlexB-pp7dcpeople are insane lol that’s crazy
He’s quoting George’s critics, not padme. Pasme is the counterexample to the critics.
C-3po says he is "Odd indeed"... A quintuple entendre...
1)"Odd indeed" as in Weird
2)"Odd in deed" an in Odd in action
3) "Odd in deed" as in he is a lord, an owner of land and a sith lord
4)"Odd indeed " as in the remainder after taking two from three
5)"Odd indeed" as in he is Apex from the Middle English : from Old Norse odda-, found in combinations such as odda-mathr ‘third or odd man’, from oddi ‘angle
...he is the Phantom Menace.
I love how fans look so deep into things that they create better stories than were originally intended.
Everything Geek this theory suggests that jar jar was intended to be a sith , it just wasnt revealed because of the backlash
Everything Geek lol this isnt really a theory. theres solid proof that george lucas originally wanted jarjar to be yodas evil equivalent
z4rkenny its not a theory. Remember, this is one of the biggest movie seriese of all time. All animation is checked over, and thought of. Jar jar smiled at someones funeral. I cant remember whos, but the person was a jedi and his/her name started with a j
Everything Geek it's animation. Every single thing they animated was intentional
The irony of it all is that if George Lucas would have actually kept it that way, Jar Jar and the entire prequel trilogy would have sucked WAY less.
think i'll subscribe , thanks for sharing
Episode 1 and 2 sucked, but episode 3 was awesome
Just goes to show, trust your instincts.
Emmanuel Goldstein no way. This theory is pretty cool and there's definitly some truth behind it but even a genius twist wouldn't save the crappy acting and writing in the prequels. The big reveal would just bounce right off Hayden Christensen's wooden face, and I can't even blame him. It would be hella hard to make such an insane reveal convincing.
I disagree, it (the thrilogy) wasn't very good but Jar Jar was still the worst character imaginable, I think they should've kept Darth Maul along longer.
this is so cool, I'm thoroughly disappointed that they didn't go through with this plotline
The old fans ruined it!!
+Will Deus I love how everyone is like "Oh God, everyone ruined it." Don't act like you didn't hate Jar Jar initially, too. EVERYBODY hated Jar Jar. I think this theory is genius, but I thoroughly admit I was a "fanboy" who hated on Jar Jar from day 1. I wish George would have stuck with his guns and gone with Jar Jar being a Sith Lord, but he didn't and we have what we have. Maybe J.J. Abrams will throw it in, though. A lot of people haven't heard this theory yet and if they revealed Jar Jar (with a brand new Serkis Sith voice) as the baddie, people's minds would be blown, but there would also be negative backlash because not everyone would understand. You'd have to do so many flashbacks to explain it in the new movie, that I think it's going to be too much of a hassle.
Still great to think about what could have been... Just think, had George stuck with his guns, we were probably almost guaranteed to see Jar Jar die. Think about that.
+KamuiT
I loved the ep 1 when it came out, and thought Jar Jar was funny. Didn't hate him at all. The tongue is numb got big laughs from me when I first saw the movie when it came out.
So no - we all didn't hate Jar Jar initially. Just those who didn't have the depth to accept anything out of the mold of the originals.
+Zephhyre silly.
They couldn't go through with it ..With all the backlash and everyone hating the prequel ..at least with yoda you find out who he is after he acts stupid for 10min ..If only they would do that with jar jar
Ok. I’m convinced. Solid airtight argument
I wonder why Lucas "chickened out." The fans universally hate Jar Jar. Having him turn out to be a bad guy would really fit. That would make more sense than Jar Jar only existing in order to be the only being in the Galaxy stupid enough to give Senator Palpatine "emergency powers."
and then Jar Jar could die in a lightsaber fight.
+Ness lol ness is dumb as fuck and jar jar is a master
+ILovetofondletheweenis Wee what the hell are you talking about?
He's talking about Jar jar cant die He's the strongest Sith not to mention the smartest
I can't remember if it was part of this theory and just not mentioned in this video, but there's a theory that Yoda was put into his sorry, broken, hermit state during his fight with Jar Jar. Jar Jar would've almost certainly been killed, though, considering the original trilogy was meant to be the end, and having a sith lord above Sidious left unmentioned would have been... Strange...
If this was truly the case, why on earth did George change it ?. It would have made the pre-quells so much better !
Even though this theory has a kind of ''jokely'' fibe, I may actually have been convinced that it is true.
+Terros People HATED Jar Jar and thought he was a "racist Stereotype"
***** hell! I hated Jar Jar - but this theory makes me want to re-watch the pre-quels (I would never in a million years thought I would ever say that sentence, but it's true).
As for racist, Jar Jar has a Caribbean accent, and is a wacky character, if you or any one else thinks that's racist, that's your problem. Because it certainly isn't mine.
Lucas never changed anything. He always stuck to his decisions with the prequels. He is stubborn to a fault.
+Terros I think it's ridiculous people thought it was racist, that's why I said it quotation marks. I liked jar jar when the movie came out because I was young and he was a goofy character. I'm just saying this would be why George Lucas did change it, he got a lot of backlash on jars jars character and stated in the video he "chickened out" and made count dooku to replace him.
***** ohh, my bad. We happen to agree then.
Jar Jar for president 2016
Would be better than Trump :^
+RollMopsGang is that hard...
+PlumpCh1cken jar jar > Donald trump
Donald trump resigned the presidential candidate and got fake hair
+PlumpCh1cken Maybe Jar Jar is behind Trump
Jar jar is the Tom Bombadil of the Star Wars universe
The haters, the media, the staff, and especially the fans forced Lucas to not continue with Jar Jar. Was Jar Jar annoying had hell? Hell fucking yes. But if we let what happened go, and this came about it would have been film lore
Or Lucas could’ve chilled tf out. The failures of the prequel trilogy are his fault.
@@DeltaGolf791 The same idea was use with ahsoka and worked.
True visionaries stick to their plan regardless of whether the audience "gets it" or not. Shame that Lucas was WEAK.
@@bushdid911forever I think that was when he lost faith in his creation. I think it was around that time he started considering getting out. So, if I'm correct, the FANS are responsible for the Disney Kathleen Kennedy disaster
@@DeltaGolf791 This mentality is what lead to Darth Jar Jar not happening.
Fuck you for that.
This is literally my favorite film theory of all time, it's just too awesomely legit to not be legit. XD it's basically like Jar Jar is Moriarty from Sherlock, he's the evil mastermind behind the entire plot of the Jedi's demise even though he seems like just a minor character. He lays low out of suspicion by acting dumb and clueless while actually positioning himself in key points of the storyline to sway major decisions and events involving important characters, using the dark side of the force, to ultimately control the outcome of the entire galaxy. Jar Jar is actually one of the most powerful evil beings in the galaxy and almost no one suspects it. That is the real beauty of it. I legit don't even hate Jar Jar anymore
Brian McClellan fr now I actually notice lol. Now I like him now, but wait do you think that voice is just trying to sound dumb 😱
And also George Lucas wanted to make movie twist comparable to the one from the original trilogy
its not a theory its a fact now
His skin does have that "I'm 1/64th pure blood Sith" look to it. :3
+Pandaoniman And his eyes, just like Sidious'.
:o
:0
:O
:( )
I so hope that this theory is a real thing. It would make every last speck of Star Wars that much more awesome.
1/69 would be more sexy though ;-)
+Pandaoniman
Just the idea... I mean... the freakin' Idea of a Dark Jar Binks... fighting against master Yoda... ... ...I don't know why but that single though put a big smile on my face ! And in the good way ! Of course it would be goofy as f**k, but... just the idea would be... okay, it would not be really clever, but in memory of what was Yoda in the first Trilogy, the symbolism is quite good ! X'D
Jazz The Cabbit
:O What about that theory that Yoda was dead the whole time (with Luke). What if JarJar had hunted him down? That would have been a badass battle on Dagobah.
Even the dust-covered hermit on Tatooine was originally presented as "crazy old Ben," before his true identity as General Obi-Wan Kenobi, a Jedi Knight, was revealed.
Yoda was a weird and pushy little green floppy eared guy, until he said the swamp was his home, and Luke realized who he was.
that would've saved the whole jar jar hate that went on. my God, imagine jar jar slowly becoming evil or just revealing his real voice where he doesn't have goofy quirks. And you hate him already... it's genius. should've stuck with it.
If this is true, or if disney does this, I will completely forgive Lucas for the prequel trilogy.
the prequels were amazing..
They put J.J Abrams in charge so it will never happen. The next two movies will be copies of the rest of the original trilogy with nothing new to offer, because Abrams has nothing new or original or Plot twisting enough to offer us. He is the Michael Bay of Script writers.
Surely they have writers and guidelines and people who are actually creative, Abrams wont be given free reign, not with this behemoth.
The Toxic Atheist Except that Abrams isn't doing 8 and 9. He's helping out with the transitioning from 7 to 8, but that's it
Benjamin Long It's too late for doing anything. The point was revealing everything in the episode 2
Episode 9: Darth Jar Jar returns- Luke is fighting snoke,(possibly made windu) and kills snoke, then a red lightsaber goes through Luke from behind right in front of rey and ren (who are fighting each other), out steps Darth jar jar. Rey and ren (who turns good after seeing Luke dead) fight jar jar, who kills ren and then escapes from rey - lead up to a storyline of finding Darth jar jar in episode 10,11,12
Adam Willets *SHOOK*
An accurate description of Disney beating the already ragged corpse of star wars to pieces.

It def has been outright stated. My headcanon is that jar jar was plageius master
@@cloudytug Tenebrous, of course it is that Jar Jar is not a sith, but a far greater villain than the sith
@@cloudytug too be fair the only Person to talk about plagueius in the movies was palpatine

This brings THE PHANTOM MENACE to a whole new level.
the title refers to something that you can't see, but Darth Maul was on the cover of every product, so he wasn't the menace, so who was, Sidious? or Jar Jar?
I agree because then why would he have well lets say YELLOWY ORANGE EYES?
Jamrannosaurus - Rex Exactly only force users have those eyes, and corrupted by the dark side
Josh Webb Yup is true!
Trust me cause I know a lot about star war, there some species that yellow eyes but if u notice jar jar binks’s eyes are not like the others of his species, it’s like the dark side eyes! And its known that if u are in dark side one of the effects of its corruption is ir eyes turn yellow like that!
My beautiful and amazing Princess yes like Anakin's eyes when he was turned to the dark side
Jamrannosaurus - Rex cause he was probably born with yellow orange eyes theres a posipility
+rosario escalante That just means he was *born* evil. He's so strong in the dark side, it marked him even as an infant.
