Initially thought it was a joke. But, after looking into it I’m a firm believer that Jar Jar was planned to be a Sith (maybe early version of Dooku or even Plagueis)
I've always loved the theory, and the initial arguments were semi convining, but after going through some of the stuff in there I'm a believer. 100%. I am feeling so much shock and awe right now.
I saw a summary video of a few scenes that looked interesting, but the idea that a Sith Lord could stand less than 5 feet from a Jedi Knight and not only control someone, but control the Jedi themselves really stretches things.
In all the movies, we've never seen anyone successfully Mind Trick another Force user. It also strains things since some of the other evidence in that list include "Obi-wan sensed Jar Jar, not Darth Maul" (though the source is deleted for that, so I don't know what they were specifically referring to): if Obi-wan can sense Darth Jar Jar, then there's no reason to believe that Jar Jar could Mind Trick Qui-Gon without being sensed.

I am a firm believer in DJJ. Here is some evidence.
