"There were stories about what happened"
"It's true... All of it..."
Kylo Ren's mask would fit Jar Jar perfectly.
While Darth Jar Jar is very likely not true, there are so many coincidences and tiny parts that support it that it is entirely plausible. Especially if it makes the story better.
This is Mass Effect's Indoctrination Theory all over again. A theory, that I don't care what Bioware says, makes so much sense and makes the series even more amazing than it already is.
The thing about this theory is that I want it to be real, but I can't imagine it is. There's this really awesome energy behind this theory, and I know the reality is that it's just trying to fill the holes and make those bad movies into something
goodwatchable.I watched Episode 1 when the theory was first posted. I actually enjoyed going through the movie and trying to pick out things to support the theory, and to be honest, I can't watch the movie the same anymore. It is a deeper, more enjoyable movie with this theory, even if it is "wrong" as a fan theory.
I'll also say this: If Jar Jar was initially planned to be the "main evil" behind Palpatine, and he truly was influencing everyone in the film, not only does it make the first film more watchable, but it does seem to explain the rewrites, the filler characters (Dooku), and the ridiculousness of Jar Jar's ability to "luck" out in a universe where there is no "luck".
This is one of the silliest, yet compelling, fan theories about Star Wars that exists, and I really like it. Don't listen to the haters, even when Episodes 7-9 prove us wrong, it will still make me laugh.
EDIT: I've seen/read all the videos and posts on this theory I can find. This one raised a couple points I hadn't heard before, and it highlights the details clearly. I found it to be a good presentation of the theory, like some of the others I've seen. I don't understand the negativity from people here over repetition (yes, other versions of this theory exist in video format by other youtubers). Does it cause you physical pain to see someone executing ideas in a similar, yet different way than someone has before? Surely it can't be that painful to sit through a fan theory youtube video that you subjected yourself to watching... It's always good to point to references and previous iterations, but the negativity seems a bit harsh toward someone just trying to spark harmless discussion.
EDIT 2: a word
I love that the narrator just conveniently left out the rest of that quote from Lucas. the full thing is "Jar Jar's the key to all this, if we get Jar Jar working. 'Cause he's a funnier character than we've ever had in the movies." If anything, that quote completely disproves the theory and shows that Jar Jar was just comic relief.
One issue: Darth Maul was never presented as a Sith Master. From his very first introduction he was referred to as "my apprentice" by Palpatine.
Also, when the droids are rushing up the elevator to repair the ship, they are repairing the shields after they had been taken out by the blockade. R2 reroutes the power so they they get the shields back up and aren't blown to bits.
It seems to me that we all want a better prequel trilogy and this Jar Jar theory at least let's us imagine what could have been. If Lucas did intend for Jar Jar to be a sith than I pity him because he missed out on what could have been one of the greatest mind f**ks in cinema history.
Seriously, think about it. There is no star wars character more universally hated by everyone than Jar Jar. I mean, what if his intent was to depict the most idiotic character in all of the galaxy but leave small hints to his true nature scattered through out the trilogy. Then in the finale Jar Jar is finally revealed as the evil mastermind. All of the hints, all of his strange quirks that Lucas intentionally let slip through come crashing down on the audience in an appalling wave of clarity in the same moment that Jar jar' and yoda's light sabers clash for the first time. The ending of the trilogy could have made the world completely forget "Luke, I am your father..."
I love this theory because its a hell of a better story than what currently exists. Too bad Disney will never revisit these films.
Yep, foolproof.
Lucas co-wrote this
Edit: I read that he co-wrote this, but upon finding this wiki it looks like that's not true and I suck dicks. Still, Lucasfilm produced the special that this was a part of. Robot Chicken was in on this theory more than 4 years ago.
