Did a search and didn't see anything, so SIAP. This guy did a good job with this theory.

LINK



I'd post more of the link but their are some gifs to support his theory. Way too much time on this guy's hands but a good read none the less.

Of course he is. He managed to take an all-time great trilogy and turn it's triumphant return into shite.

True, but this is worth a read.

Yeah, I saw your post this morning and read it. I never watched the prequels, but that's pretty well put together

I love this theory and I wish it were true. The only part that makes it implausible is the idea that Lucas would shoehorn in Dookue just because fans hated Jar Jar so much. Other than that, it's actually almost plausible.

I used to be able to do a kip up.

You flop like a fish the first 1,000 times and then all a sudden you pull it off every time.

Jedi?

In any event this would be somewhat better than what we were given/accepted. However it's also likely the author is doing what the brain does best. Find a pattern where none exists

It would have been an all-time plot twist. It would have completely redeemed the prequels.

It only makes me hate George Lucas more.

This is what I believe is happening here, but it is a bit of a fun thought.

I think Jar Jar was an attempt at comedy and something that was supposed to be "cute" for the money grab. I mean, lots of people hate the Ewoks for this reason. Maybe we should now go back and view them differently because they were able to help take down the Empire, as though they were greater than they seemed?

I just took the giant leap into water as a species specific thing for Gungans. And the dropping from the balcony/droid shooting bit is pretty obviously a continuity error. His leading the charge of turning over power to the Emperor was just a way to put on screen a reason to actually hate him.

But by this point, are fans really ready to believe Lucas was that smart/clever after his hate post-prequels?

Possible force sensitive being, highly probable the way he seems to clumsily come out ahead. Sith lord, no fricking way.

He did manage to get out of some pretty hairy situations. Maybe he is unknowingly using the force inside him, in spite of his clumsy, idiotic nature. It would be akin to an incredibly dumb person having inane raw musical talent, except in this case it is a matter of life or death.

That was an awesome read. Fan fiction I will now believe in.

If it had been revealed at the end of clone wars that Jar-Jar-Binks was a Sith mind control mastermind that trained Palpatine as an apprentice and foresaw the way to lead Anakin to the Dark Side that would have been amazing.

I'm just going to choose to believe this about the prequels and let it ease some of the pain it caused me. Now we only have to hate Jake Lloyd's terrible acting, the terrible writing of Anakin's character, the love affair/dialogue between Anakin and Padme... You know this doesn't help as much as I originally thought. Maybe he can write another one for Anakin.

Can someone please kill this line of thinking? It is beyond idiotic.

I like the evil mastermind part of the theory, but the Force user part absolutely does not hold up. The Gungans are shown to have fantastic agility, Jar Jar is not unique in this sense.

I like the rest of it, but I jump off on the Force user part.
