JAR JAR BINKS IS ACTUALLY A SITH LORD AND DRUNKEN FIST MASTER

Listen close, and I will tell you of the greatest trick the devil ever pulled.

The new Star Wars film is almost upon us, and if you are like me, you pray the new JJ Abrams film will eclipse the farce of the candy cane prequels. The CGI saturated tale of how Annakin became Vader fell so far short of our expectations, despite a fantastic Jedi duel, grand actors Liam and Ewan’s best efforts, and the visual potential of a speeder race through the dunes and vast battles between armies of clones. If one asks any fan why the films were so bad, it inevitably comes back to one man-thing: Jar Jar Binks.

Everyone pronounces his name with derision and disbelief, the way his toad overlord does in those first scenes of the Phanton Menace, for “no fictional character in history has created the amount of passionate hate that he has.”

And yet perhaps all is not as it seems.

Just a few days ago, /Lumpawaroo posted a theory on Reddit that is spreading like wildfire through Star Wars fandom. In his post, now with over 7,000 upvotes and counting, /Lumpawaroo analyses Jar Jar’s performance in the prequels and comes to a radical revisionist conclusion: Jar Jar Binks is actually an all-powerful Sith Lord, Supreme Commander Snoke, who has mastered mind control, Drunken Fist Kungfu, and the subtle art of “acting the fool” utilized by many beings with god-like power, including his counterpart Master Yoda.
