You havent heard the fan theory of who the Big Bad was supposed to be in the prequels? (before GL supposedly "chickened out") Some of those fans think that the new series will bring back that idea.

Jar Jar Binks -- Drunken Fist Master Sith?

Hmmm... plausible? 8-) 8-)

In the novels, it was Jacen. But since Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin Solo aren't part of this universe, who knows?

Has some surface plausibility, but I'm not convinced. One of those "great Drunken Fist moves" is called a kip-up, if memory serves. I remember being taught it in grade school gym class.

You don't know how much I wanted to see Vader chop Jar Jar. Preferably gut him...so he could say, "Meesa dead!" right before dropping.

Audience cheers would have been epic.

Supposedly there is a Jar Jar skeleton laid out on the sands of Tatooine or some other rim system craphole.
If that's true, the audience cheers will be epic.

The EU can still exist. They're just not being held to it full and fully. I also suspect some Jaina and Jacen action.

Fun Fact: Since the Jedi are not part of any formal military command structure they are unlawful combatants. On the other hand the Sith, when they had their empire, integrated their force users into the command structure, therefore making them legitimate and legal combatants.

...according to the current LOAC established on a backwater planet in a galaxy far, far away. :P

Still, though, that's a bit of a stretch. With a Sith government it's more like a military dictatorship. The Jedi had some nebulous role in Republic military hierarchy, but they still had one, even if it seems to be making a general out of anyone holding a light saber.
