Social media users are convinced Biden's stumbles might be evidence of Havana Syndrome.

    I prefer the “Darth Jar Jar” and “The Bloop” levels of conspiracy theories.

      Darth jar jar was absolutely meant to be canon and you can’t change my mind.

        It didn’t really make sense to me that he would be right there when the Jedi landed. The Trade Federation has multiple landing locations, which we saw in the movie, how did Darth Jar Jar know which one had the two Jedi stowed away on? Also how did he know that they escaped or would escape? Plus why didn’t he just kill them on route to meeting Anakin?

        I so wish it would have been true. I didn’t mind Jar Jar as much as others, I’m old (original trilogy old) and think he was… adequate for comic relief and for the kids, but him being a bumbling Sith would be just perfect. I should look for some fan fic of this

          The bumbling bit was the cover. Dude was definitely competent.

            There will be a short series on Disney+ and a few Lego sets where they basically flip the whole universe on its head. https://www.starwars.com/news/lego-star-wars-rebuild-the-galaxy

      Bruh there’s actual supporting evidence for Darth Jar Jar. He doesn’t deserve to be lumped in with the crazy shit!
