Star Wars actor Ahmed Best has teased another return to the franchise, even humorously hinting that the long-running Darth Jar Jar theory will come to fruition. Star Wars’ Darth Jar Jar theory is one of the more hilarious, ongoing pieces of speculation in the entire franchise, something that actors like Best do not shy away from. After Best’s return in The Mandalorian season 3 as Order 66 survivor Kelleran Beq, it seems the actor is not done with a galaxy far, far away after teasing another return in a potential upcoming Star Wars TV show, movie, or video game.

In a post on his Instagram page, Ahmed Best shared an image of himself donning a mocap suit. As is known from his time in the Star Wars prequels, Best is no stranger to the motion capture process. What makes the post all the more intriguing is the caption: “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.” Accompanying this caption is a list of tags, with two reading “#jarjarbinks” and “#sithlord.” Not only does this image confirm Best’s return to Star Wars, but the actor is also making pointed jabs towards the hilarious Darth Jar Jar theory.
What Is The Darth Jar Jar Theory?
In light of these hilarious hints at Darth Jar Jar becoming a possibility, it is worth exploring what the theory is in the first place. The theory is rather simple, in that it claims Jar Jar Binks is secretly one of Star Wars’ most powerful canon Sith Lords. Binks has always been a controversial character, not only for his rather obnoxious personality but his somewhat juvenile humor and bumbling nature. However, the Darth Jar Jar theory claims that the very traits that make the character so divisive are the pieces of evidence needed to suggest his dark nature.
From the way Jar Jar inexplicably survived the Battle of Naboo to his handing of emergency powers to Palpatine/Darth Sidious, who this theory claims is Jar Jar’s apprentice, Star Wars would be forever changed by this long-running theory coming true. What began as a way to explain Jar Jar’s exasperating nature in a tongue-in-cheek way has slowly gained an evergrowing pile of evidence. As it turns out, Jar Jar actor Ahmed Best is aware of the theory, even providing hints that Darth Jar Jar could become a hilarious reality in Star Wars‘ future.
