1. Jar Jar Binks Is A Sith Lord

One of the craziest Star Wars fan theories out there that people believe is the one claiming Jar Jar Binks is a Sith Lord. There are tons of theories about the character who is despised by most of the fandom, but that's the one that tends to stick.

There are tons of articles supporting this theory, which suggests that his ridiculous clumsiness is so wild, it must be an act. Add to that the way he infiltrated the Galactic Senate. He did so in as innocuous a manner as possible, but as soon as he had some power, he wielded it. Like a Sith.

Jar Jar was the one who brought up the "No Confidence" vote against Chancellor Vellorum, and he was the one who got the vote that made the newly-crowned Chancellor Palpatine an Emperor with absolute power. In essence, Jar Jar Binks was instrumental in the fall of the Republic.

There are tons of points people have made over the years, but it's hard to discount Jar Jar's negative impact on the galaxy when they are all added up. Palpatine proved that a Sith can hide in plain sight, so it stands to reason that someone at the center of so much change might be a Sith as well.
