This is what conspiracy theories are supposed be. Absurd insanity. Not "vaccines are bad for you" or "a secret agent with Q clearance wants patriots to overthrow democracy".

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.

It was quite amazing that events always worked out for him

If you count the Lego Star Wars sets, it is canon now :D

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

Oh so specifically alternate universe stuff. Worth a watch.
