There are many popular fan theories in the Star Wars universe, some much more extraordinary than others. one Star Wars A theory that still holds some weight among the fandom is whether the infamous Jar Jar Binks could be a Sith Lord who is masquerading as a complete and utter buffoon. Although it may seem far-fetched at first glance, there is amusing evidence that suggests it can hold water.
The Darth Jar Jar theory has had something of a resurgence after Ahmed Best, who provided the voice and motion capture for Jar Jar in the prequel trilogy, returned to Star Wars in The Mandalorian Season 3. This leads many to look again at Jar Jar’s actions, which undeniably paved the way for the rise of the galactic empire. The question is whether these actions are accidental or intentional.

Jar Jar’s clumsiness may be an act
The driving force behind the Dart Jar Jar theory is that Binks was so absurdly clumsy and inept that it bordered on theatrics. This is the perfect cover for a Sith apprentice who wanted to infiltrate the Republic, since he would be the last person anyone would suspect. Even Qui-Gon Jinn dismissed Jar Jar as unintelligent, while Obi-Wan Kenobi called him a “Pathetic life form.” His over-the-top clumsiness is an iron alibi. Sheev Palpatine managed to cloak himself in the guise of benevolence for years while operating right under the Jedi Order’s nose. Could Jar Jar have done the same?
With this support, just look at Jar Jar’s stunts during the Battle of Naboo. Sure, he’s clumsy, but somehow everything works out to his advantage. There is even a moment when he seems to forget himself; He gets half a droid attached to his feet, realizes that jumping triggers his blaster, and proceeds to jump around enjoying getting the droid to shoot his fellows. Jar Jar even gives a little chuckle as he does so, enjoying the (droid) carnage.

Palpatine carefully orchestrated everything
The events that led to Qui-Gon Jinn discovering Anakin Skywalker on Tatooine and Anakin eventually being corrupted and turned to the dark side were carefully orchestrated by Palpatine from the beginning. He meticulously crafted his plan to manipulate the entire galaxy, and nothing was left to chance. This raises the intriguing question of whether Jar Jar was the eyes and ears on Naboo – Palpatine’s homeworld – and ultimately chose to get close to the Chosen One.

Jar Jar’s goofy movements could be disguised craft skills
Disguised as klutziness for slapstick comedy, Jar Jar is often seen doing acrobatics that only Force users can do. These movements are generally used in life-death experiences, and save him from danger, but this is not always the case; Take, for example, Jar Jar’s jump – which looks suspiciously like a Force power, even prompting frightened looks from Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn. It’s all looking quite suspicious.

Jar Jar infiltrated the Senate
In the beginning of Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the ClonesJar Jar is revealed to be elected as a junior representative of Naboo in the Galactic Senate. This was a significant step up from when he could barely cling to his skin. Perhaps his involvement in the Battle of Naboo was a test. It is unlikely that someone with Jar Jar’s apparent lack of intelligence could gain political power without a skill with manipulation or friends in high places. Perhaps Palpatine played a role in his election, ensuring he would have an ally throughout his career.

Jar Jar gave absolute power to Chancellor Palpatine
A crucial part of Palpatine’s plan to turn the Republic into the Empire involved absolute power during a state of intergalactic emergency. The representative who managed to get the Senate to vote to give Palpatine the power was Jar Jar. Many critics of this fan theory point out that Palpatine and his assistant would not have needed subtlety when talking about the Emergency Powers Act while Jar Jar was nearby. They would have ordered him to do so, but it is possible that Darth Jar Jar’s identity was a closely guarded secret, known only to Palpatine himself.

Jar Jar uses hand gestures when he wants to change someone’s mind
When Jar Jar tries to convince someone of something, he gestures with his hands, just like any Jedi or Sith trying to use the mind trick to change someone’s mind. The trick was first noticed when Cebulba attacked him on Tatooine, and it happens again and again, and he shows it when he tries to convince the Senate to grant emergency powers to Palpatine. answered, It would take a Sith Lord of enormous power to influence so many minds, but it’s an intriguing premise nonetheless.

Jar Jar mirrors Yoda in interesting ways
in The empire strikes backWhen Luke travels to Dagobah, Yoda initially acts as a bumbling buffoon to ward off any preconceptions that he may be the last surviving Jedi in hiding. This mirrors Jar Jar, who can act as a bumbling buffoon to dissuade anyone from suspecting him of being an all-powerful Sith Lord. Of course, Yoda’s con game was done to test Luke Skywalker’s patience and see if he had what it took to become a Jedi Knight. yet, George Lucas always insisted Star Wars is like poetry in that it rhymesAnd that would be another example.

The Darth Vader Connection
After the rise of the Empire, many Naboo residents and other galactic civilizations turned their eyes to Jar Jar, believing that he had allowed tyranny to infiltrate the Republic. Rumors circulated that he was secretly in league with Palpatine from the beginning. Others even believed that Darth Jar Jar and Darth Vader were the same person. Strange as it sounds, it means a lot Star Wars Characters also thought that Binks might have had ties to the Sith, maybe an active member himself.

Jar Jar’s Possible Redemption Arc
Not all Sith remain evil, as evidenced by many Sith Lords in the past, such as Revan and Vader. Could Binks have had a similar epiphany? There is reason to believe it, given the events that followed the empire’s fall. During the Battle of Jakku where the Empire finally fell, Binks returned to Naboo, making a humble living as a street performer. Ostracized by society for his possible role in the rise of the empire, he took solace in delighting local children who loved his antics. Binks may have renounced his ways and returned to the bright side.

In any case, Jar Jar was more than he was in Star Wars – Meaning Darth Jar Jar is surprisingly believable.
