Darth Jar Jar Binks may not have appeared onscreen, but one Star Wars Celebration cosplay made this shocking version of his character made a reality.
Star Wars Celebration featured an unusual version of an iconic Star Wars character in a delightfulDarth Jar Jar Binks cosplay. Jar Jar Binks’ character was initially met with contempt by many Star Wars fans, but a popular fan theory has implied that Jar Jar Binks might secretly be one of the most underestimated characters in Star Wars. One fan saw to it to bring Jar Jar’s dark potential to life with their Star Wars Celebration cosplay.

The theory justifies his otherwise inconsequential presence in the prequels by highlighting details like his Force-user-like “skills” and Sith-yellow eyes.
The Darth Jar Jar Theory Has Always Been Fun - But Unlikely! The full theory cites many instances of Jar Jar’s seemingly meaningless goofy behavior and interprets them as much more sinister, from teaching young Anakin to disregard authority to securing Palpatine’s power in the Senate. Allegedly, Jar Jar was meant to be the prequels’ big villain, but the plan changed after the character was criticized as too annoying.
Though the Darth Jar Jar Binks theory has never been substantiated in Star Wars canon, it’s been popular among the fanbase for years. Part of the theory’s longevity and popularity can be attributed to the new love being shown to the prequel trilogy after enduring years of criticism. Recent projects have seen both Hayden Christensen and Ahmed Best return to Star Wars, whose portrayals of Anakin Skywalker and Jar Jar have been given newfound respect.
It seems clear this theory won’t be adopted into Star Wars canon. The perfect opportunity to do so would have been in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, but Jar Jar’s appearances were consistent with his portrayal in the prequels. The final nail in the Darth Jar Jar theory’s coffin was the sequel trilogy’s avoidance of any mention of him. If Jar Jar was truly as formidable as the theory suggested, he’d have been an excellent character to bring back in the sequels.
