Jar Jar Binks is a sith lord

but how would he wear the helmet...

guys i NEED to talk about the role of jar jar binks in ian doescher's shakespearean retelling "the phantom of menace" and what an unfathomably incredible choice was made in this script. doescher transforms him from the simple clown of the movie into a brilliant renegade mind performing an extended, manipulative ruse predicated on the arrogance and bias of human minds.

like jar jar comes out on stage and gives an incredibly articulate and thoughtful monologue in which the theme of the play is introduced as his own objective. then he decides the way to achieve his ends is to play along with the low expectations and biased assumptions qui-gon has about him, in order to get him to do what he wants.

he later bonds with the astromechs about human bias.

then on coruscant he gives this incredible monologue about the way privilege blinds people and how the powerful play victim without acknowledging those who are truly being harmed.

basically, the movie 'phantom menace' has two characters doing a ruse, sidious hiding as palpatine (naturally), and padmé hiding among the handmaidens, taking advantage of the way they are considered invisible and replaceable. qui-gon comes across as an asshole telling padmé to her face that the queen trusts his judgement.

now in this play.... we have THREE characters doing a ruse! three phantoms in the phantom of menace. jar jar is also putting on a performance and hiding his real self in order to get what he wants. it just adds a beautiful extra layer to the character and the story. 10/10 no notes just appreciation

Jar Jar has a life debt to Qui-Gon for three days before Qui-Gon dies. You had one job Jar Jar.

I'm kidding of course, but can you imagine Obi-Wan staring hopelessly through the force field and-- what's that? It Jar Jar with the metal chair sneaking up on Maul! He's tripped on his own feet and has now smacked into Qui-Gon, knocking him out. Now Maul is slicing the chair until comically Jar Jar is holding two small sticks! What's that!? He's tripped over Qui-Gon's unconscious body, knocking hard into Maul. Maul has stumbled into the pit! Maul has let go of his handhold out of embarrassment for the entire affair.

“Therefore…” Jar Jar said, swallowing slightly to get over his nerves. “Mesa propose given emergency powers, to…”

Then his mind went completely blank.

He couldn’t remember the name of the guy he was meant to be giving emergency powers to.

He couldn’t remember the name of the guy’s office.

Boss? No, no, that wasn’t right… big bombad boss-man? No, that wasn’t it either!

The whole room seemed caught in a singing tension, and Jar Jar wasn’t sure if he was thinking quickly or if everyone was staring at him and that just made it worse.

Then he had a sudden realization.

The point of these emergency powers was to make it so they could rescue Padme and Anakin and Obi-Wan – and the boss guy whose name he couldn’t remember hadn’t wanted them, he’d said so, he’d just said it was necessary to cut through all of the gridlocken arguing.

But – but it didn’t have to be the boss man guy.

“-Jedi Master Yoda!” Jar Jar finished, in a gasp, then practically collapsed back on the seat of the senate pod.

Cheers and shouts immediately filled the Senate hall, calling for the approval of the motion, and Jar Jar swallowed because he felt short of breath.

This public speakin’ business was way scarier than fighting an army! And that was plenty scary enough itself, too…

Palpatine’s eyes twitched, and he forced himself to relax his hand.

He had been… outplayed. Disastrously so. In a way he had absolutely not anticipated.

That idiot gungan had seemed like the perfect patsy, and it had been so important to his plans that everyone agree with the need for the emergency powers… and that nobody suspect how much he dearly wanted and needed the authority to cut through the factionalism in the Senate.

It had taken decades of work to create that factionalism, of encouraging different groups to vote strategically to obfuscate their preferred courses of action on different subjects, so that nobody but himself was aware that three quarters of the Senate would vote according to his wishes because so many of them were persuaded that he was their highest placed and most secret ally.

All to create the gridlock that emergency powers would be needed to cut through.

But now… now that idiot gungan had ruined everything. Someone had pulled his strings so masterfully that Palpatine couldn’t even see them.

Draw an au where jar jar is the sith lord and anakin doesn't turn to the dark side cos he hates him more than sand

Actually, I will put my hands on the fire and say that, given that Jar Jar, besides Padmé and Obi-Wan is the only person that knew Anakin as a little kid in Tatooine, and then, he was also the only one besides Padmé to call him "Ani", and that he refers to him as a friend, and that Anakin in AOTC actually starts rambling about his insecurities about Padmé inmediatly and during a mission in Naboo, he never showed that much annoyance towards Jar Jar, I really, really doubt Anakin hates Jar Jar, I think he considers him a bit of a friend lol
