Star Wars: The Force Awakens: 10 Biggest Rumours You Need To Know (Nov 13)

7. Jar Jar Binks Will Return As A Sith Lord

Because the Internet is an awful, compelling place, someone on Reddit (where else) suggested the horribly compelling theory that Jar Jar Binks was actually a Sith Lord who manipulated Anakin Skywalker towards the Dark Side through subtle means. Not only that, the theory suggests he was actually more powerful than Palpatine, who answered to him, and that his much hated involvement in the prequels was no more than misdirection, designed to hide his true destiny. To return to power in the new trilogy, and to be revealed as Supreme Leader Snoke. Rating: 0/10 No matter how well reasoned the theory (and by God it's convincing) there's just no way. Or let's hope not anyway. Abrams surely wouldn't bring back the walking personification of everything that was wrong with the prequels, right? He couldn't possibly think that retconning the character would go some way to fixing the wounds caused by Episodes 1-3, could he? Let's be honest, no.
