While Jar Jar Binks may have become a less popular character among the older Star Wars fans, that hasn’t stopped some of the more creative Star Wars geeks out there from coming up with some truly fantastic fan theories about his relevance to the greater lore.
In fact, some have even postulated that everyone’s least favorite Gungan was a powerful Sith lord hiding in plain sight throughout the run of the prequel trilogy.
This theory obviously isn’t canon, but much like the long-held theory that the Death Star’s fatal weakness was intentionally included in the design (which was made canon in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), you never know which direction this universe will take an idea.
