Since I haven't seen it yet (planning either a late showing tonight or mid-afternoon showing tomorrow) and some of the things you guys have said, well, it made me want to know what you thought about the Jar Jar was a Sith theory.
Without going into too much detail, supposedly Jar Jar was planned on being outed as a Sith lord (possibly even Palpatine's master) in Lucas' original vision of Episodes 2 and 3. Allegedly, Lucas lost his nerve after the inital backlash and overwhelming hatred for the character and so rewrote 2 and 3 and created Dooku to play the Sith lord part that Jar Jar was supposed to play.
I honestly can't say I buy that theory, but man, I would LOVE to have seen where that would have went. Imagine Lucas creating a character that is reviled by literally the entire world only for the world to find out in a "I am your father" kind of way that Jar Jar was really a (THE?) Sith Lord!
