In 32 BBY, Boss Nass banished Jar Jar from his home of Otoh Gunga, an underwater city that lay beneath the
Academics and critics alike viewed Jar Jar as racially offensive — the stereotype of the “noble savage” or the “carefree Jamaican minstrel.” The fact that media also pounced on writing about the backlash didn't help, Best said, especially when his contact information was leaked and death threats followed.
Jar Jar was created in an attempt to appeal to children and provide The Phantom Menace with comic relief, a decision that alienated Star Wars fans and clashed with the film's dark and political subject matter. Moreover, some critics also found the character to be racially insensitive and offensive.
Jar Jar was ultimately another pawn in the game. But somebody had to take the fall, and the Empire certainly isn't going to care if it's some dumb Gungan that was played like a fiddle. With nothing else, Jar Jar ended back up on Naboo, making a meager living as a silly clown.
George Lucas has reportedly stated that Jar Jar Binks was originally intended to be an undercover Sith Lord, but the Force user theory has been tossed back and forth between Lucasfilm and fans. While there are only ever two Siths, Jar Jar could have been the third hiding in Palpatine's shadow.
As a Sith Lord, Jar Jar Binks played a vital role in orchestrating the rise of Emperor Palpatine. He manipulated events to ensure Palpatine's ascent to power, using his influence to sway the Galactic Senate and facilitate the transformation of the Republic into the Galactic Empire.
The most agreed upon theory, started by Reddit user Lumparoo in 2016, is that Jar-Jar is a powerful Force-user conspiring with Darth Sidious. In addition to this, some believe he either trained, or was supposed to become Supreme Leader Snoke, or that he is a reincarnation of Darth Plagueis.
On Friday's episode of Clone Wars, Jar Jar Binks becomes a Jedi. In an interstellar case of mistaken identity, the half-wit Naboo native dons the cloak, teams up with the first trilogy's bumbler C-3PO, and saves Amidala from separatists who think he's a master of The Force.
Preigo's Traveling World of Wonder employed a Gamorrean clown. After Jar Jar Binks was exiled by his people for his role in the rise of the Galactic Empire, he became a clown, performing on the streets of Theed, Naboo.
In many ways, the Darth Jar Jar fan theory is a much better conclusion to his story. Fan theories help the Star Wars franchise feel even more robust, and add deeper context to the overall lore. Lucas himself said Jar Jar was "the key to all of this," but the canon has quietly confirmed that he was never a Sith Lord.
Jar Jar was an idiot, quite simply. Palpatine and Mas Amedda manipulated him quite skillfully by suggesting that whoever voted him powers would be brave.
Gungans don't exist, except on Naboo, which also doesn't exist, but in a galaxy far, far away from the Empire and the Rebel Alliance, there was once something that could almost pass for that species of alien. Jar Jar Binks apparently has a cousin who has been extinct for 110 million years.
Jar Jar Binks was intended to provide comic relief to the politically involved and otherwise serious plot of The Phantom Menace.
A recurrent character in the Star Wars prequels, Jar-Jar Binks has been notoriously hated by fans of the franchise since his first appearance in “Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.” He was created as comic relief, but most viewers found him more annoying than funny.
No one thinks that Jar Jar is evil. Even in the wildest speculation where Palpatine was using Jar Jar like a puppet, it's likely that Jar Jar was not actually evil. However, the character is so cartoonish that it's fun to turn him into a caricature of evil, just because that makes the character fun.
Julia had in the past become very close to Jar Jar, and she kissed him when they were alone together. Julia told him that the Dagoyan Masters were disappearing and were kidnapped by the Frangawl Cult.

According to Star Wars Legends content, the first Sith was a former Jedi Master, Ajunta Pall, who became a so-called Dark Jedi, or “Fallen” Jedi.
Following the Battle of Endor, Binks was cast out by the Gungans and ostracized by the Naboo. Homeless, Binks found work in Theed as a clown and street performer.
Snoke Is Not a Sith Lord
He was never given one because he isn't technically a Sith Lord. But the fact that he's a bio-engineered being created by Palpatine explains why his training of Kylo Ren followed the Sith mold so closely, since all along Palpatine was trying to manipulate Ren.
On the eve of the First Battle of Geonosis in 22 BBY, Junior Representative Jar Jar Binks convinced the Senate to increase the scope of the Chancellor's emergency powers because of the apparent threat of the Confederacy of Independent Systems.
