Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Jar Jar Binks is notorious as the bumbling buffoon of the Star Wars prequel era, but what if he was actually a Dark Lord of the Sith? First introduced in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, Jar Jar was the movie's comic relief, constantly getting himself into trouble and becoming the center of slapstick humor.
Like any Jedi or Sith, Jar Jar tends to gesture with his hands when attempting to persuade others - and, significantly, he performs hand gestures in scenes where he's promoted to General or Senator. He even uses his hands in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, in the scene where he persuades the Senate to hand control of the galaxy over to Palpatine.
Related Star Wars: 10 Details That Back Up The Darth Jar Jar Theory One popular Star Wars fan theory is that the clumsy Jar Jar Binks is actually a Sith Lord. There's a surprising amount of evidence to back this up. Was This Really George Lucas' Plan? Of course, this probably wasn't George Lucas' plan at all. He intended Jar Jar to appeal to children, so it's highly doubtful that he'd have written the character as a secret Dark Lord of the Sith. All the unusual flashes of acrobatic skill and so on are presumably due to Gungan biology rather than intentional subterfuge, and the hand gestures likely represent Lucas' desire for Jar Jar to have a sense of physicality to him.
