If you’re making a parody edit, yes. But for a serious edit, it’s a terrible idea.

It’s the same “it was me all along” plot idea as Palpatine’s return, no less silly in my opinion.

Except Palpatine is already a well-established villain character, who has been teased to know something about cheating death. Jar Jar is just a stupid clown who does nothing over the entire prequel trilogy. Not to defend TROS, but Palpatine’s return is way less silly than Darth Jar Jar.

I disagree, but that’s mainly because Palpatine’s return always seemed like one of the bad ideas of the old EU to me. Snoke was a new threat, which didn’t go against Vader’s redemption/sacrifice to me.

Palpatine was a lazy choice, Jar Jar would have at least been a creative choice that didn’t undo 37 years of storytelling.
