If Jar Jar is the ultimate enemy I will burn down every cinema, every studio, kill everyone related to the film industry so that idea could never, ever be taken any further.
At first I wasn't convinced by that Jar Jar theory but after reading the entirety of that reddit thread I honestly think I buy it. Wow. Might just have been Lucas' initial idea though and one he abandoned. The idea that he revealed this to JJ Abrams and it will be carried through to the new film seems less likely to me. But who knows. If true... then just wow basically.
the chief annoyance was that irritating bloody Gungan, which I cannot see as anything more than an ill-judged, risible attempt at injecting a bit of humour/slapstick into proceedings.
I will say this, it feels really good when the hidden meaning behind the work is seen. No matter how long it takes. #TPM
No Jedi's sensed that Palpatine was a force user or Sith lord
That was in the prequels though...that had all sorts of inconsistency.
