Jar Jar totally not being a Sith Lord for  

Honestly, I have no idea why this video became so popular... Its not even outstandingly edited. I mean Im glad you like my content but I have many more interesting and higher quality videos that dont get nearly the attention of this...

“When you are strong, appear weak”. - Sun Tzu

“They never realize they are being fooled because they are too busy *laughing* at the fool. It’s brilliant!” - Cars 2

The biggest clue on why I believe he is a Sith Lord is his animation. Every movement he makes is deliberate and with purpose.

_"Those Eyes... Those horrible YELLOW eyes!"_ -Aunt May Parker

I just wanna see a scene where he completely drops his accent and his speech impediments and forms perfectly constructed sentences revealing he’s actually evil

My favorite idea is that Jar Jar doesn’t even give a shit about the Empire or Republic, he just sows chaos

The “he’s not an ambassador, he’s a PLAGUE!” line definitely seems like a hint at the Jar Jar = Darth Plagueis theory…

One part you missed He was banished from the city of his people but they don't tell you why he was banished just that he was and he is in a lot of trouble for going back We assume it's because he is clumsy but the reality is he was probably using his force powers on his people and others caught him in the act

Don't forget the comic where he "accidentally" takes out a whole group of droids with a lightsaber to save Captain Rex

everyone seems to forget that Master Yoda was also clumsy until they found out he was a grand master - its like poetry so that it rhymes

One of the most compelling pieces of evidence I saw for Jar Jar being originally planned as a villain in disguise was a tiny thing on the movie website back before the theatrical release of The Phantom Menace. It had a few little teasers in it like most movie websites of the time (this was way back in 1999, mind), one of which was a list of the main characters with brief descriptions. The one for Jar Jar described him as a "menace" to Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. This by itself isn't particularly suspicious, because at face value the klutzy Jar Jar IS a menace, just of the plucky comic mischief kind. What made it suspicious is when someone noticed, a while after the movie had come out and the Jar Jar backlash was continuing unabated, that his description on the website was quietly edited to remove the reference to that word, "menace", without changing much else. A suspiciously specific thing to go out of the way to do, unless the original wording was meant as an allusion to the movie's title (which, in retrospect, doesn't make a whole lot of sense in current context of the prequel trilogy) that no longer applied.

I love how he “accidentally” destroys his enemies

“The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.”

Yoda: short green alien who Luke meets near a swamp. Jar jar: Tall red alien who they meet near a swamp.

The jedi mind trick is very interesting bc jar jar is so subtle that real life audience members can't tell. Yet the jedi are so obvious that the characters in the universe would absolutely know when a jedi is trying mind tricks. The swipe is such an obvious tell yet jar jar just makes hand movements that are much more fluid and natural

I wish Jar Jar actually turned out to be a sith lord. It would be crazy to see a fight between him and yoda. Not to mention an INSANE reveal.

I like how this first started out as a meme and now it feels like they should make a movie about him

"He's not a representative, he's a plague!" Yes, yes. Darth Plagueis, in fact.

It's also hilarious how jar jar is supposed to be clumsy as but yet look how pro he is with those plates and juggling them without breaking them

I laughed so hard at the “look how he tricks the queen into a war”😂😂

If Palpatine was a wolf in sheep's clothing, Jar Jar was a pack of wolves in a slug's clothing.

He's such a crafty Sith Lord that even Star Wars producers and creative staff refuse to believe it.

I would kill for this to be real. If they made Jar Jar a sith, he would be my favorite character hands down

"In order to know your enemy you must KNOW them, not simply their battle tactics, but their history, philosophy, art" - Grand Admiral Thrawn But jar jar is unpredictable, thus he is the most powerful force wielder in history

Imagine Jar Jar finally getting tired of pretending to be clumsy. One day he just snaps and reveals his true self to the Senate. Killing them all effortlessly while screaming in his true voice. A deep chilling growl. Absolutely terrifying.

If this were canon, this genuinely would have been one of the greatest twists of all time.

The gungans in general earned my undying respect when they F*CKING CAPTURED GENERAL GRIEVOUS in the Clone Wars show and nearly ended the war if Anakin hadn't also been captured and prompted a hostage trade. General Tarpal's line to Grievous - "How does it feel to die?" "Not die... sacrifice!" still gives me chills.

I always knew he was the evil mastermind behind it all but after seeing this video i feel horror beyond human comprehension

Why does everyone overlook jar jars yellow eyes. A key characteristic of the sith

He's essentially like an evil Jack Sparrow

The recent trailer practically confirms this We did it boys

Its even more terrifying when You realize that even Qui-Gon was unable to Axii-es Sebulbas mind, yet Jar Jar did it easily while also steering Anakin at the same time… Quite the multitasker 😂

-I'm Rey -Rey who ? *Sees the ghost of her master* -Meesa ReyRey Binks

The thing is it makes perfect sense. Yoda did the same tactic when he first met Luke. He acted clumsy and dumb but revealed himself to be powerful and wise. Jar Jar can't be as stupid as everyone thinks. After all he's a representative in the Republic Senate and he was able to convince many senators to grant the chancellor emergency powers

2:57 that devious smile says it all.

I’d like to think that the battle of Naboo stuff is just how Jar Jar retold what happened to him to hide the fact that he almost single-handedly turn the tide of the battle. So that no one would suspect his true power.

"Meesa propose that the senate give immediatly emergency supreme powers to the chancellor" always hit weird

What if Jar Jar is a Sith, but the clumsy fool act isn't actually a act? He's the Galaxies shittest sith Lord, so much so he doesn't even know how he is using the force. It just happens.

It's canon now 💀

Made more sense having jar jar comeback in rise of Skywalker than Palpatine.

Keep in mind that Jar Jar is CGI so every little movement he does is deliberate.

"Appear weak when you're strong, and strong when you're weak." -Sun Tzu

I always knew he was a sith, there was too much foreshadowing. However this video proved to me just how powerful of a sith he can be.

The end scene with JarJar in his Sith hood & double end lightsaber was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen. 😂

If you watch clone wars literally, Jar Jar in his clumsiness is responsible for many missions that lead anakin to a specefic place.

I’ve been a fan of the Darth Jar Jar theory for some time now. After I’d read about it I decided to rewatch the PT with the mindset that Jar Jar had already been revealed later on as a bad guy. It is astounding how many things show up when you really watch him. From his mockery of the Jedi and their order to the many, many convenient accidents that he has. His influence is everywhere!! Ever thought about how Anakins podracer wasn’t going anywhere until Jar Jar urges “Go Ani go!”?

The complete dropping of the facade alone would've been good enough, but to be later revealed that it was Palpatine's old Master who did cheat death by essence transfer into a passing Gun gan (nearest adequate living body at point of death) would've been an awesome twist.

- Jar Jar is totally NOT a Sith Lord! - The Empire's symbol in his eyes: " Oh, okay..." (05:12)

"He's not a representative, he's a plague!" *Darth Plagueis the Wise!!!*

"Those who beg for mercy are too weak to deserve it." - Darth Amphibious the Wise, Grand Sith'ari

He totally was supposed to be a Sith. Look at that jump. He stayed in the air

you missed the best one. He literally mouths the words that someone says in one scene, putting the words into thier minds. it was in the original movies.

I don't think this is a joke. If you've seen The Clone Wars you know how powerful Jar Jar is.

So uh... I watched SW series 1-6 chronologically a few years ago for the first time. I knew SW from memes and shorts by then. I couldn't figure out why Jar Jar was hated. If you watch the prequels without the 'I hate Jar Jar because he speaks funny' glasses you may notice an evil manipulator hiding in plain sight behind the veil of goofiness. Some could say... A phantom menace. I wish Lucas stood his ground and made JJ reveal himself to Yoda with something like 'meesa no tricksy... Or am I, you old fool?' the revealing change of tone could be dreadful.

Actually, it was confirmed by the actor who played Jar Jar that he was supposed to be the sith lord mastermind. He was supposed to be a reflection of Yoda from EP5 (also clumsy and foolish at first glance but then turned out to be a great warrior). But George changed his mind after backlash of jar jar character and introduced Dooku instead. BTW George saying in one of behind the scenes videos "Jar Jar is the key to all of this" proves he had a bold idea about this character.

The clumsy act is more common than you think, there are many characters who use this false persona of being a fool to hide their true nature or use it in battle to trick their opponent into underestimating them. A great example is Cid Kagenou in the Eminence in Shadow, he acts like a disinterested student and a total fool in battle, purposely getting smacked around by Princess Rose and pretends to be a very mediocre magi swordsman; in truth, he is so overwhelmingly powerful that he could effortlessly crush anyone and everyone from top tier swordsmen to ancient demons to world-ending monsters, his magic power alone could blow a major city off the face of the planet and his skills are honed to extraordinary levels. No one outside his organization ever puts it together that Cid and Shadow are the same person because Cid is so obviously lacking and Shadow is so absurdly powerful that the very idea that Cid could be Shadow never even comes to mind. If Jar Jar actually were a sith lord, I think that would have been a really awesome twist as long as it were done right. But there is always some moment where the act is dropped and the true nature shows.

"We trained him wrong, as a joke." -Sheev Palpatine

I'd like to imagine that when Jar Jar drops his act he has a deep menacing voice with a British accent.

yeah there were definitely clues in the episode 1 (those hand movements are not random or a mistake, Jar Jar is completely CGI made so every little movement had to be created one purpose) and I personally would have loved to see that twist but since character got so much hate after episode 1 was released, they just abandoned the whole arc and made him a side character and reduced his screen time. It’s a shame because it could have been a minblowing twist

This honestly would have been the greatest twist to ever exist, its not even hard to believe with Jar Jar being a Gungan from Naboo which just happens to be where Palpatine served for decades as the senator. We know that all life can be born with the midichlorine count needed to be a force user but Gungans wouldnt have been tested at birth like the rest of the galaxy usually was. Palpatine could have found him when he was young and together they could have forged this entire scenario together to earn the queens trust and maneuver themselves into this climax where Palpatine steps up into the role of Supreme Chancellor after young naive Jar Jar convinces the Queen to elect Jar Jar as senator to replace Palpatine and thus opening the door for the vote of no confidence and the subsequent vote to grant Palpatine emergency powers that effectively declared him Emperor, both votes needed Jar Jar exactly where he was at the right moment. The jedi could have watched the senate be dissolved and order 66 come down and realize in their final moments that the Sith had outplayed the entire jedi order and brought the Republic and the entire jedi order to near extinction and there was nothing they could do about it, they had personally hand delivered the clone army into the hands of 2 sith lords and caused the downfall of everything.

You forgot some key scenes from the phantom menace. 1. When Padme’s royal guard (I forget his name) is telling Qui Gon and Obi Wan that Padme wishes to leave the ship and come with them to the city Jar Jar in the background of the scene is moving his lips in exact synchronization with the guard which later in the movie Darth Maul finds them and chases them through the sand dunes. In other words he convinced QG and OW using Padme’s guard to let Padme into the city in order for Darth Maul to ambush them. 2. When Anikan is on Padme’s ship he says that he feels cold when he is on the ship which is a clear sign of the dark side because in Empire Strikes Back when Luke goes near the Dark side tree he feels extremely cold. Anikan essentially is feeling Jar Jars Dark Side energy even though he is trying to conceal from the Jedi but because Anikan is the Chosen one he could feel it. 3. (Submarine Scene) when Obi Wan and Qui Gon asked him how he was kicked out of Gungan society and Obi Wan said “you were kicked out for being clumsy” Jar Jar then response with “something like that” and is sus AF. 4. When Jar Jar, Qui Gon, and Obi Wan get into the gungan city the reaction of terror that the Gungans have when they see Jar Jar is very interesting. Lastly People often mistake Darth Maul of being the Phantom Menace because he is on the main part of the cover of the disc but in reality it’s Jar Jar. He has been the Phantom Menace the whole time with subtle hints in the movie that he is definitely not as he seems.

Jar Jar: moves* Everyone: A Sith Lord?

His “clumsy” fighting skills might be the greatest deception in Star Wars history. Even bigger than Palpatine

"In my experience, there is no such thing as luck" Obi Wan "Ben" Kenobi - Ep. IV

That scene where Jar Jar is smiling at Qui Gons funeral is what convinced me.

very interesting how people who have never met jar jar when he isn't in action immediatly think he is a "jedi"

I'm just started watching star wars from the beginning (I followed what googled say if you type "star wars film" and this is the first movie) from the beginning until the first war he become a general, I felt something unsual about jar jar. either he's a friends or disguise enemy, turnout the theory that he's a sith lord is making me smiled and gigled turn out every video I saw about jar jar. I'm not even watch the second episode yet, but jar jar really is an interesting characters like master yoda (I remember as a child watching yoda as clumsy monster thingy but turnout he's some god in the jedi, I'm just watching that and not entire film). It's really interesting if somehow he's the mastermind of all this trilogy.

He's definitely a force user but I wonder if he's actually a sith. Aren't there less talked-about force-using factions?

I love the part of the theory that says his "clumsiness" as a fighting style is based on Drunken Kung Fu

Lucas effectively admitted that in the end he wimped-out, because he felt little kid Star Wars fans would have been heartbroken. Of course, the rest of us would have been so happy to have our hatred of Jar Jar legitimized.

Man I loved that hour long video that came out some years ago where the guy showed me for the first time how Jar Jar was actually supposed to be the Sith Lord. Hell a great mini documentary.

This theory is so popular that my even dad, who has barely ever used the internet in any capacity especially not for fandom related things, knows about it.

We all know that Palpatine was "somehow" resurrected in Rise of Skywalker. Well, who do you think resurrected him?

George said himself that Star Wars is like poetry; it rhymes. Having Jar Jar, a silly creature that looks incredibly harmless and funny but turns out to be a very powerful master of the Force would certainly "rhyme" with Yoda in the original trilogy.

Not to mention Jar Jar literally threw himself together with Qui-Gon Jin and forced his way into everything important that was happening.

He lives He LIVES

So are we going to forget he LITERALLY SMILED during Qui Gon’s funeral

It makes sense that he is literally the Phantom Menace. That's how I always understood it. He's the menace, and he's doing it behind the shadows.

Star wars character : moves hand slightly🎉 The fans: ARE THEY USING THE FORCE

Did anyone else catch Jar Jar smiling after every attempt to conceal his obvious Sithness? If you don't believe me check this timestamp where he LITERALLY SMILES EVILLY: 2:55

Jar Jar is either the luckiest son of a bitch in the entire series or he is the GREATEST force sensitive and best actor in the whole galaxy far far away. Darth Sidious and Yoda could learn a thing or two from him in either case. He either proves that NOTHING is fool-proof in the face of absolute luck and stupid or that there always is going to be a greater mastermind than you out there. I love both options equally. XD

People forget that this was all written in on purpose as cannon for him to be a sith but they scrapped it all and pretended it wasn’t on purpose

now this is canon in lego universe

The age old adage: THERE ARE NO MISTAKES IN CGI

After watching all this, I hear Obi-Wan Kenobi saying “I’m my experience there is no such thing as luck.” Someone this clumsy cannot be this lucky. Confirmed Sith Lord.

If it had been Darth Jar Jar pulling the strings as the main antagonist, it would've saved the whole sequel trilogy.

Jar Jar is so good at stealth Sithing that even George Lucas had no clue he was a Sith

I think the biggest clue is the fact that his own people banished him, apparently cause he is clumsy, which makes no sense, and when he came back the people seemed quite worried, like there is truly something wrong with him, on top of that we got the fact that he doesnt look like the others, he is red with yellowish eyes, now ofc the yellowish eyes are a feature of the gungans, but the combination of the pretty highlighted red with that specific color of eyes which are associated with Sith just doesnt seem like a coincidence...the other stuff is pretty obvious, how skilled he is, how he cant get hurt, how he climbs the ranks so easily, even the fact that he just happened to stumble upon Qui-Gon in the forest, its a bit too much

Imagine if this theory is canon

What I am realising from this video is that every Italian is a Sith Lord.

the yellow eyes are a dead give away too

Jar Jar is so powerful as a Sith Lord that he even manipulated George Lucas to create him as a good character just to cover up the TRUTH…

For everyone watching, it has essentially been confirmed that the original plan was for Jar Jar to be a Sith in some capacity but due to everyones hatred of him, George scrapped the idea.

they technically intended for him to be a cord originally, but they shifted their focus so technically/canonically. This is just him being a goober.

Phantom Menace was the movie about deception Queen = Padme Palpatine = Sith apprentice Jar Jar = Sith Lord Quigon got brainwashed by Jar Jar when he got tackle by Jar Jar when landed on Naboo and there’s no accident like Quigon said. Every plot was moving where Jar Jar wanted in that movie. Quigon couldn’t feel Anakins darkness when every Jedi felt it due to that reason

6:15 Jarjar is *smiling* as he "accidentally" destroys everything around him.

Honestly I feel like that whole Clone Wars episode where everyone confused him for a jedi was nodding to the theory, cloak and all. loved it

Years earlier, Yoda dropped his guise before the audience felt the same way about him for doing the same thing, but Lucas went overboard trying to sell JarJar's cover, and his original plans for the character had to be changed since no one would have taken it seriously at that point.

I’ve heard Lucas changed his mind for Jar Jar's role in the following two movies because of the backlash. There’s no way all that stuff in the first movie was accidental for a CGI character where you have to actively make every small movement of the face!
