10 Star Wars Fan Theories That Make Too Much Sense To Ignore

Looking for a way to see Jar-Jar as more than just the most annoying character in Star Wars history? Look no further than the theory that suggests he is no mere Gungan idiot, but instead a powerful Sith Lord. Though he hides it incredibly well, there are occasions when his true nature is shown.

He may come across as a bumbling buffoon, but he is clearly a skilled fighter. Just look at how he not only survived, but thrived in the Battle of Naboo, the athleticism and ease with which he took a pivotal role in the fight.

Then there is his potential use of Jedi mind tricks. Jar-Jar does gesticulate a lot when he speaks anyway, but watch when he gets promoted by Boss Nass to General, or when Padmé raises him to Senator. Even when he addresses the Senate to convince them to give Palpatine emergency powers, in every instance his hands are waving as if using the Force to manipulate their minds.

On that last point, surely the fact that it was Jar-Jar who essentially won Palpatine the power to create the Empire, to remove democracy from the Senate altogether, should ring some alarm bells. Add in the fact that both he and Palpatine are from Naboo, and may have had a relationship stretching back many years, this theory starts to make more and more sense.
