Funny, I just pm'd Teriya pretty much the same thing you just said, Karma. I said that having Jar Jar be a sith is a level of creative plot I simply don't think Lucas is capable of anymore. No other part of the plot of that second string of movies was that creative. I personally believe Jar Jar was just some slap stick stooge meant to appeal to really little kids so that they'd beg their parents to buy them all the memorabilia with his face on it. All of which would result in more royalties for Lucas.
