My theory after the last one is Leia was the Sith.

Hmm. That's interesting. I had never considered that.

I think the Jar Jar = Sith Lord (maybe even Darth Plagueis himself) theory has moved beyond theory and is more like a fact at this point. Quick rundown.

1. He has very strong force powers of persuasion. Has persuaded the Jedi to allow him to tag along on their quest to find Anakin. Has persuaded the leader of the Gungans to name him a Bombadier General despite acting like a clutz (deliberate ruse) all the time. Persuaded Padme and others to name him senator. Persuaded the entire galactic council to grant Senator Palpatine emergency powers, effectively establishing the Empire himself.

2. After worming his way into the Jedi quest to find Anakin, he then befriends Anakin and begins the work of turning Anakin against the Jedi by mocking Qui Gon behind his back, and also by pushing Anakin towards romantic feelings for Padme.

3. If you go back and watch The Phantom Menace you can clearly see that Jar Jar controls Padme's SPEECH with his mind. Evidenced by lip synching the exact things she is saying while arguing with Qui Gon two separate times.

4. He senses the future at least once while in a meeting with Padme and her council by somehow knowing that two Jedi were approaching their door.

I mean, I could go on and on. Jar Jar Binks is a Sith Lord.

There was a deleted scene from Phantom Menace in which Jar Jar and Palpatine (both from the planet Naboo, BTW) were walking down a long causeway and Palpatine was falling over himself thanking Jar Jar for granting him the power to form the empire.

Fan backlash against the character caused Lucas to change the story arc though. It was supposed to be Yoda and Jar Jar having a lightsaber duel in The Clone Wars. Count Dukoo was thrown together in his stead.

I hope Disney brings this obvious plot line back into the new movies because it's pretty awesome.

ETA: This would also mean that Jar Jar is THE Phantom Menace

Here is a YouTube video explaining the theory in more detail

Right on. I must not be one of the cool kids who thinks any of the new stuff sucks. Lol.

The Last Jedi was well written.

I just came here to brag on new ownership of our theater.

Nobody knows. He doesn't appear to be a Sith, if that tells us anything. He could be a reincarnation of Darth Plagueis. But he appears to consider himself "above" the Sith order. He doesn't wear black, and he is always talking about the balance in the force. About how as darkness grows, the force balances it with light and vice versa.

It fits with the entire theme of Last Jedi. About how the Jedi order needs to end because when the Jedi grow strong in the force the Sith grow more powerful to counter balance it. The new Jedi will embrace both sides if peace is ever to prevail.

So since Snoke is not a Sith, who is the second Sith? There's always two.

There's not any sith. They ended with Vader.

Being evil and wearing black does not mean you are a sith.

Movie was an awful mess. Glad I pirated it, and will never watch another one in theater.
