Wanna solve something really nice? Bring Jar Jar Binks as the ultimate Sith Lord behind all of this.
It will save the Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, plus some episodes of Clone Wars
It will say to all the fans, "see, you should have trusted Lucas!"
Go search in Youtube, Jar Jar Sith Lord and you will see the theories. They make sense and, hey, why not? Lucas always liked the idea of "the fool on the side of the road" pretending to be an idiot but being a wise/master in the end. (THX-1138, Yoda...)
I hope Jar Jar reappears just to cause ruckus.
