If I had the talent, I’d go full on Darth Jar Jar instead of Sidious. Let’s just embrace the ludicrousness.
You know that sort of attitude is how I enjoyed the film in theaters, but somehow, Darth Jar Jar just rubs me the wrong way.
It’s a tough sell, for sure, since Lucas obviously didn’t intend that at all. He flat out said Jar Jar was his version of Disney’s Goofy (as in, the dog character).
That being said, imagine it being pulled off. Instead of his wacky quasi-Jamaican overacting, imagine if he’s older, calmer, and talks with a smooth Baron Samedi style. No Palpatine cackling supervillain, a casual charismatic true behind-the-scenes villain who hid behind the jester’s antics.
