George Lucas Finally Confirms the Ultimate Star Wars Fan Theory: Darth Jar Jar is Real
In a shocking turn of events, Star Wars creator George Lucas has confirmed the existence of the infamous Darth Jar Jar. Fans have been speculating about the Gungan's true intentions for years, with some even suggesting he was a secret Sith Lord. Well, it turns out those fans were right all along.
In a recent interview, Lucas revealed that Jar Jar was intended to be the ultimate villain of the prequel trilogy. "I wanted to do something unexpected and subvert the audience's expectations. What's more unexpected than a bumbling, comedic character turning out to be the most evil being in the galaxy?" Lucas said.
According to Lucas, he had planned for Jar Jar to reveal himself as Darth Jar Jar in the climactic battle of Episode III. "Anakin and Obi-Wan would be facing off against Darth Sidious, but then Jar Jar would come out of nowhere and reveal himself as the true mastermind behind everything. It would have been epic," Lucas said.
So why didn't this masterstroke of storytelling make it to the big screen? Lucas cites the negative fan reaction to Jar Jar in Episode I as the reason for the change in plans. "I wanted to take risks and try something new, but I also have to listen to what the fans want. And they made it clear that they did not want more Jar Jar," Lucas said.
While we will never get to see Darth Jar Jar in action, fans are still reeling from this revelation. Some are even calling it the greatest plot twist in cinematic history. It just goes to show that sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction.
In the wake of this shocking news, fans are left wondering what other secrets may be lurking in the Star Wars universe. Could Chewbacca have been a Jedi all along? Was R2-D2 secretly running the Rebellion? Only time will tell.
As we wait for more updates on this bombshell revelation, let us take a moment to appreciate the genius of George Lucas. He may not always get it right, but when he does, he creates a universe that captivates and inspires millions. And for that, we will always be grateful.
