I once read a beautifully indisputable piece on how Jar Jar Binks is a highly skilled Sith Lord. It's all a front!
As memey as the whole theory is, I like to mention that George Lucas was influenced by a lot of classic scifi. He was almost certainly aware of the famous Foundation novels. In the second book, the comedy relief character turned out to be the secret villain leading the evil empire and who had mind control powers.
There's actually footage of Jar Jar using Jedi Mind Trick in TPM. He gave up on it by Attack of the Clones, even through Jar Jar was still capable of facilitating the fall of the empire.
This isn't true - we know that both from EU media and the films that followed TPM. But I believe it used to be true when TPM was first produced
