Jar Jar is a sith lord

I don't wanna see episodes two or three, because I like episode one the best. I mean, I don't want to see the Empire come about, that's like watching the rise of Nazi Germany. I also like episode one because it's the earliest one, and I like all the weird oddities of Star wars, the history and stuff, way back, so seeing the first episode is better than just watching how Darth Vader comes into being. I mean, I know about Darth Vader, and how he was Anakin and all that. I don't need to see it. Anyway, like we were saying... I use the term "president" lightly. President, senator, chancellor, whatever, all pretty much the same thing, just a guy with a lot of power. You don't have to be all nitpicky here. I don't know much about Star wars politics, so technical terms are unimportant. He's senator for the Gungans, right? I mean, evidently, he's respected by his own people. And some Gungans aren't even stupid, so for him to be elected is a pretty big indication of what a great guy he is. Maybe he doesn't win the people's admiration through intellect. Maybe he acquires their support through charisma. And that's fine. You say he's a "senator," so I'm assuming that the Star Wars universe has a democracy, not a monarchy, or maybe sort of a mix of the two. But Jar Jar was elected by popular vote, right? By his people? He didn't take the throne as a tyrant? I mean, that's a huge step. In episode one, he goes down to his hometown beneath the lake, and it seems like they really hate him for being a big idiot. But then, they have a change of heart, and they elect him as their senator. That's what I call progress. They forgave him, and gave him some responsibility. He got elected by them, so he's not responsible for the little mistakes he makes. I think that Jar Jar is seen behind the crowds in episode one because he's a crucial part of the plot. I mean, he has to be there, jumping around and whatever. He's a main character. He'll chat with Obi wan or whatever, tell them some stuff, then walk away. He's annoying, remember, so he usually only inserts himself into conversations to bug the other characters. And, I mean, you're bugging him because he WAVES HIS HAND AROUND? He's like a hyperactive child with candy, of course he'll make little spastic movements. Maybe he repeats what people says because he's too dumb to say anything on his own. You know, he repeats what they're saying so that he can run it through his brain. Or maybe he just mutters stuff and you misread his lips. Or maybe, since he's in the background, behind the main characters, the guys at Industrial Light and Magic didn't take the time to animate him that well. I'm sure there could be some CGI mistakes on him. Keep in mind, this was freakin' 1999, there are bound to be some bugs every now and then. I think that, when he jumps into the lake, he's just jumping into the lake. You say that nobody could jump that high. But, remember, he's not a human. He's a fish alien with very different anatomy. Chances are he can jump better than us. Maybe he has a special muscle in his leg or something. I mean, heck, it's a sci fi movie, they can mess around with physics a little if they want. I think, also, that maybe his jump was meant to emphasize how annoying he was, and build up suspense for the part where they're underwater. Anything can happen. I never saw the bridge scene, I might have, It's been a long time since I watched episode 1, but I don't think it means much. If the guys look to the other side, maybe they noticed something more important than Jar jar. Maybe they saw some rebel spy or something. I mean, this sounds like a big Star wars action scene, you're talking about here, and if you know Star Wars, you should know that George likes to go all in when it comes to action scenes. People firing laser guns from all over, lots of running, lots of swinging across vast chasms, you know, the usual stuff. Chances are that, in this scene, the droids just see something interesting. Or maybe Jar Jar DID just jump over to the other side of the bridge, TO AVOID LASER FIRE. I mean, the lake scene, as you pointed out, shows how good he is at jumping. maybe he could jump all the way across the bridge, ya know, to AVOID GETTING KILLED? Doesn't mean he's a Sith, it just means he wants to live. That makes a lot more sense than your nutty conspiracy theory. Really, whether you like Jar Jar or not isn't even the point here. Even people who hate him know that he's just put there for comic relief, like Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show, and he's not very essential to the plot, just a goofy fish man who helps out and bugs the main characters from time to time. Nothing to make a big fuss over.
