>George Lucas was so sure the film would flop that instead of attending the premiere, he went on holiday to Hawaii with his good friend Steven Spielberg, where they came up with the idea for Raiders of the lost arc (1981).
>Disney wouldn't take my ideas so we parted our separate ways.
>jar jar is the key to all of this
so is this guy always fucking wrong?
Lucas is a complicated guy who got caught up in a series of bad situations like divorce, being surrounded by sycophants, and a general air of invincibility. He is an icon who sees himself as icon, which is the main issue within itself.

It's understandable he'd gotten into a funk about Star Wars, all signs were pointing to it being a flop before it came out. The botched first cut, the rush to re-edit it from square one with only months to go (and his wife having a deadline to start cutting for Scorsese looming), the poorly received rough cut screenings (which had WW2 movie footage in place of as-yet-unfinished effects work and temp score in place of Williams' music). Things were looking bleak. When he started getting calls about lines forming around the block to see the movie, he was flabbergasted.

Its more likely hes an autistic guy who gets caught up in those situations only because he got the attention of a rich guy and is now rich.
Being There is basically his life story.

jar jar was meant to be revealed as a sith lord anyway, but he pussied out after the first movie's reaction

A lot of upvots on a reddit post and cherry picking does not a compelling argument for that make.

the guy was literally behind (in camera view) and lip syncing in every scene on ep1

Because he's an idiot.

I didn't realize episode 1 was only a few seconds long.

Well, heres another then. Because they didn't want jarjar to be an inanimate object when he was on screen, they over-animated him using references from the other actors on screen with him, and justified it by "mirroring," as in, the way some mentally deficient people will mirror those around them when they aren't sure what's going on.
Furthermore, the idea of "forcetalking" exists nowhere in the entire franchise.
