Really interesting theory on the original plan for Jar Jar being a Sith in control of it all. Sounds ridiculous at first, but when you realize how much Lucas borrowed from Asimov's "Foundation" and that Jar Jar could be The Mule it really makes sense. Just that Lucas bailed on the idea after Episode One and the massively negative reaction to Jar Jar.
