Por que Jar Jar votou diferentemente do que Amidala teria?

Porque a situação mudou drasticamente desde que Amidala foi para a clandestinidade. A Federação não estava mais simplesmente procurando se separar da República, a informação que eles haviam coletado sobre Geonosis (cortesia de Obi-Wan) sugeriu que os separatistas estavam construindo um vasto exército de droides capaz de destruir toda a República.

Os senadores da oposição são chamados perante o chanceler e ele expõe a situação para eles:

The word had passed, from Obi-Wan to Yoda and the Jedi Council, and now from them to the Chancellor and leaders of the Senate, that the Republic was crumbling. The mood inside Chancellor Palpatine’s office was both somber and frantic, everyone overwhelmed by a sense of despair and a need to act, frustrated by the apparent lack of options.

Yoda, Mace Windu, and Ki-Adi-Mundi represented the Jedi, lending an air of calm against the nervous energy of Senators Bail Organa and Ask Aak, and Representative Jar Jar Binks. Behind his great desk, Palpatine listened to it all with apparent despair, his aide, Mas Amedda, standing beside him, seeming on the verge of tears. _{^{Star Wars : Attack of the Clones - Official Novelization}}

“Unfortunately, the debate is not over,” Bail Organa said. “The Senate will never approve the use of the army before the separatists attack. And by then, it will likely be too late.”

“This is a crisis,” Mas Amedda dared interject. “The Senate must vote the Chancellor emergency powers! He could then approve the use of the clones.”

Palpatine rocked back at the suggestion, seeming profoundly shaken. “But what Senator would have the courage to propose such a radical amendment?” he asked hesitantly.

“I will!” Ask Aak declared.

Beside him, Bail Organa gave a helpless chuckle and shook his head. “They will not listen to you, I fear. Nor to me,” he added quickly, when Ask Aak snapped a glare at him. “We have spent too much of our political capital debating the philosophies of the separatists and arguing for action. The Senate will not see our call as anything more than overly alarmist. We need a voice of reason, one willing to reverse position, even, given the gravity of the current situation.”

“If only Senator Amidala was here,” Mas Amedda reasoned.

Without hesitation, Jar Jar Binks stepped forward again. “Mesa mosto Supreme Chancellor,” the Gungan said, squaring his sloping shoulders as much as possible. “Mesa gusto pallos,” he said deferentially to all the others. “Mesa proud to proposing the motion to give Yousa Honor emergency powers.”

Palpatine looked from the trembling Gungan to Bail Organa. “He speaks for Amidala,” the Senator from Alderaan said. “By all understanding within the Senate, Jar Jar Binks’s words are a reflection of Senator Amidala’s desires.” _{^{Star Wars : Attack of the Clones - Official Novelization}}

Além disso, apesar de Jar Jar e Amidala serem amigos, seu pessoal é radicalmente diferente quando se trata de violência. Os gungans são conhecidos por serem muito militaristas. Eles têm um "grande exército", algo de que Jar Jar e os outros Gungans obviamente se orgulham. Também é razoável supor que os Gungans têm um dever de serviço. Quero dizer, mesmo Jar Jar foi colocado em batalha. Os Naboo, por outro lado, são muito pacifistas. Que é de acordo com Jar Jar a razão pela qual os Naboo não gostam dos Gungans.

Eu pessoalmente assino a teoria Jarjar sith. Tem um propósito de três dobras; 1. Esta teoria redime um pouco a trilogia prequel; 2. A teoria sugere e completa a ideia de que Lucas tinha um significado mais profundo por trás do personagem Jarjar. Sendo essa a antítese de Yoda; 3. A teoria de que George Lucas, o criador de Star Wars, não perdeu o seu mojo ao escrever a trilogia prequel.
