I, I, ... see it so clearly now. That would have rivaled "I am your father"

What's in the comments is even more convincing. Look up Magician Bink on Wikipedia. Then remember that Vader means Father in I forget what language.

"Mesa back".
"Oh yay, yayoh annie, woopie, yay yay yay!"
NuTrekWars... episode 7.
"If dis the escape, then wheresa da pod?"
Am I sold on nutrekwars? nope. Doesn't feel warsy to me.
if you like this Binks Awakens trailer,
some folks were complaining about what had been done to the music ("it sounds like NuTrek and star wars music had a collision")
and put up a variant of Chad Gadya that is crawlingly slow for comparison, with lots of loud "dun duh dah!"s over the top...
the other projects do look appealing though,
Princess leia and the khyber crystal,
Han Solo movie,
fettman movie,
Yoda movie (a rumored to be PG13 yoda story)
and umpteen more books.
there's also the games, which I'm psyched for Battlefront 3! yeah... it'll be awesome.
If it's one thing NuTrek taught us, it's that there'll be awesome spinoffs or fan projects which are above and beyond the 'cinema "official" storyline hehehe

I do think it would be pretty amazing if Lucas had intended the Jar Jar Binks = Sith route, like Asimov's The Mule. That reveal was killer in Asimov's books, and I think it would have been the same in Star Wars.

I'm convinced that was the plan but it was abandoned. When Dooku showed up, it was totally out of left field. "Who is this guy?" And yet he had a history with the Jedi order. If it was planned, surely Episode 1 would have at least mentioned who he was. Then there's this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magician_Bink"Bink's power prevents anyone from acting against his interests through magical means. This includes protecting him from magical harm of any kind. His power cleverly conceals itself by acting through coincidence and also keeps Bink's loved ones from harm." Many Star Wars names indicate some meaning about the character. Remember that "Vader" means "Father". Magician Bink is what convinced me.

Sorry. Jar Jar is not some mastermind invention. He was a cartoon character made to sell action figures to 5 year olds.

Jar Jar could indeed have been much like Stephen King's "It", the clown-killer, not so much like the Joker, but a bumbling variant of that... "Mesa back!" "Wooowhoooowhooo" there's a certain horror there, and even if he's not the mastermind, he could still be a useful idiot for Palps. Or, Binks could have been a safeguard by "Darth Plagueis" (never seen on screen, allegedly related to the banking clan) So, Binks was used remotely via 'astral projection' or some arcane power, by Plagueis... whatever the case, it's moot now, as Disney's got their own ideas...

Andy Serkis does not, in fact play Supreme Leader Snoke. He is playing Supreme Overlord Jar Jar Binks, who himself is playing Supreme Leader Snoke.
