5 Ways Star Wars Episode 7 Could Help Us Forget The Prequels

4. Jar Jar Binks Was A Sith Plot

I don€™t think I need to explain how annoying Jar Jar Binks is. He provided comic relief during comedy-friendly scenes like a massive battle between good and evil. He looks like a sort of space rabbit. And every time he speaks you wince, kind of like when your cousin€™s husband starts telling racist jokes after a few drinks at a family get-together. So needless to say neither Jar Jar Binks nor any of his fellows Gungans should be in future Star Wars movies. But wouldn€™t it be great if his significance could be minimized, short of actually removing him from the movies? What if Jar Jar Binks€™ entire involvement in the prequels was part of a Sith plot? Think about it. He brought Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan to his underwater home knowing full well they might be arrested as soon as they arrived. His bumbling antics disrupted their efforts throughout the entire movie. And he introduced the measure in the Galactic Senate that gave Palpatine emergency powers! These could be pathetic attempts at humor and commercialization, or they could be a devious Sith plan. First their agent Jar Jar tried to prevent the Jedi from rescuing the Naboo. When that failed, he accompanied them, trying to upset things by tripping over and knocking down stuff. Then, when that too did not work, he became a Galactic Senator to help the Sith Lord rise to power. We don€™t need to go into this in-depth in the movie, but maybe just have a scene in which characters are discussing the Sith and their subtle ways. Show some holograms labeled €œSith Sleeper Agents€ and have Jar Jar pop up for a second. And suddenly, it all makes sense.
