Darth Jar Jar? Should this really be a thing?

it doesnt make him a sith but it puts him in league with them inadvertently .

 

Among other things, Jar Jar serves as a reminder, much like other seemingly "lesser" characters in and beyond Star Wars (e.g. Ewoks), that no character / being / entity should ever be discounted, overlooked, or underestimated.

Jar Jar's role, for all his distracting antics, was indeed a rather substantial one.

When viewed from certain perspectives, he reflects aspects of the archetypal "trickster" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickster).

I have gone from tolerating Jar Jar to fully appreciating his presence in the larger story.

The Star Wars story, like our own history, goes well beyond the primary figureheads and "main characters," and its consequences flow from the collective decisions of everyone, whether they know it or not.

Viewed with enough perspective and expanded sensitivity to how literally everything and everyone interact and influence the greater whole, everyone truly can be shown to have played an essential role throughout their respective points in history.

This is why I tend to encourage mindfulness of the present and historical awareness. One truly necessitates the other, as I see it, and only through both can one meaningfully and responsibly approach the future with any intent of improving matters or one's own existence.

 

I don't know if I could ever bring myself to be that anal-litical with Binks, but I will note the observation I made of him in 1999.. Normally these sorts of characters tend to screw everything up for the rest of our heroes.. Binks did not. Which was a pleasant surprise to me back then. His antic never really became gas on a fire. Which is what I was bracing for walking in to see this film. Because Jar Jar was no secret; it wasn't stealthed like HelloGreedo and LFL was up front about this character being a total $#^&^#! idiot.

 

A gungan with yellow eyes.

 

This shouldn't be a thing because he's a clown. Wait. Clowns are disguised and the sith use disguises. Nvm now I'm back on board with death jar jar
.

 

I am utterly convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that Darth Jar Jar is legit.

I also said the same thing about Kylo Ren being Luke Skywalker before TFA.



I may not be the best person to have on board for true believers.

 

The level of hatred toward Jar Jar should be analyzed. It's very disturbing that so many would hate a character so much for simply being clumsy and naive.

 

Meesa no tink so.

 

That is a good point! I never really thought of it like that.

I think that this a funny theory, but I doubt it's legitimacy. I think Jar Jar was there so that the younger viewers of TPM could be entertained, as the movie is more about politics and trade rather than jokes and humor. I think they (the creators) got a little carried away and that's why Jar Jar is so hated. After seeing the poor reception of the character, they largely wrote him out of AotC and RotS. (If he even had that big of a part in those films.)

 

He was messed up as a gungan, he would kill the sith gimmick if he got a trial.

 

Meesa thinks so. In fact, meesa thinks that many fans should take a good long look at themselves, especially in regard to their views about Jar Jar.

The only ones who really reacted to Jar Jar in such an excessive and negative manner were the old fanboys or other adults. My question is . . . why were these fans so excessive in their hatred toward him? A character who is simply clumsy and naive? That is damn disturbing.

Now, why would you say that?

I don't think people really hate Jar Jar, because he's goofy or clumsy, it's because he's not really something that really fit into Star Wars at the time of TPM's release. He was the first pure comic relief character and also the first CGI character. Admittably, Jar Jar can get a little annoying, but I'm not going to hate someone just because they're annoying. Sometimes people just get carried away.

 

I like what Chuck did with Jar Jar in Aftermath.
He basically put all of us into the book as the people who remember the awful thing Jar Jar did the pre-existing thing they all loved so dearly, and now, they just pretend he no longer exists... well, everyone except the children who laugh and giggle at his antics...
Genius to get that meta. That must've been one of my favourite parts of that whole series.

 

Meesa think no, no, no...

 

I just wanna know who came up with this theory in the first place. lol

 

Hands down, Jar Jar being a sith and actually being revealed as a master manipulator just as Sidious was, would be the only way to fully redeem the charecter in my opinion. It's not that I hate Jar Jar, but I just think his "comedy" sequences are a little cringeworthy. It has always been an amazing option to me to turn Jar Jar into a secret sith and unveil the fact that his goofy and clumsy stulidity was a ploy all along. It would an equivalent "I am your father moment" that Star Wars is known for. On a side note:
There really is something ominous, creepy, and suspicious about the way that George Lucas said "Jar Jar is the key to all this...". Or maybe I'm just an obsessed fan with an overly active imagination like most of us.

 

That really summed up Jar Jar and brought it down to earth what was really important.

 

Why? Why does Jar Jar has to be "redeemed"? Because he was clumsy and naive? How does him being a Sith "redeem" him? This makes no sense to me, whatsoever.

 

He was planned to be a dark sider but then he was so much hated that GL changed his plans and replaced him with count dooku. his voice actor confirmed it in a way and take the famous "jar jar is the key" quote and remember the skills he displayes when he flees the droids.there are other hints as well.one day GL will confirm it .

 

This should REALLY be made canon IMO.
