Would your treatise allow this to work if he's not a sith, but instead an incredibly powerful by oblivious force user?
My take is that the gungans aren't well known to the Jedi so they could have missed him, on top of that, palps would have been on naboo when he was born so whatever he's using to hide his presence may have extended to other force sensitives in the area.
Quigon doesn't want to get rid of jar jar, even when he's given the chance to but dies before he has time to really look at jar jar.
Palps is stupidly chummy with jar jar even though everyone hates him. He also trusts the galaxies biggest moron to give the speech his entire plan henges on.
If his ability to accidentally always come up ahead was actually him being too dumb to realize he's passively using the force, and he wholly believes in palps being the emergency hero, he could have accidentally swayed a few votes.
"Would your treatise allow this to work if he's not a sith, but instead an incredibly powerful by oblivious force user?"
yeah, it's as good as any other theory, maybe better than the sith one because there are less obvious things to point out that don't work.
it kind of sounds like a xanth premise, if you ever read those books.
I don't think there are strong enough foundations to hold the assumptions together myself, most binks theories I've read rely on a passive series of events and assumptions occurring in the background.
and I like them all.
i like the Darth Darth Binks theory and other theories, but taken in context with what is depicted on screen, how straightforward Star wars is, and what the actors and production team and scripts say about the character, there's no cohesive or convincing supporting evidence that Jar Jar was anything other than comic relief and then a hastily minimized plot device after audiences rebelled against him.
