    I know it pales in comparison to most others here, but that Star Wars theory about Jar Jar Binks being the ultimate Sith mastermind instantly popped into my head.

      I’ve never thought of myself as a conspiracy theorist, but if jar-jar being planned to be the actual phantom menace, but later being taken out of the role because fans hated him counts as a conspiracy theory: Count me in! I think the arguments are compelling to say the least.

        I’m just imagining a Usual Suspects type reveal where JarJar straightens his slouch, combs back his ears, looks Obi-Wan dead in the eye, and says: “You’re in quite the pickle now, old chap.”

      I still think Yoda is a Sith Lord. What better way to be a Sith Lord and bring complete chaos to the galaxy than to take over the Jedi, redefine who they are over the course of your existence, and support the slave masters rather than help the slaves.

      Darth Plagueis saw through it all and eventually put in place a series of events to destroy Yoda’s empire.

      I love the Darth JarJar theory. It has a valid argument – and he could’ve melted steel beams! Checkmate, those-other-nutballs!
