Jar jar was a sith, I love this one and wish they could make it canon

Best I can do is a Lego game where Jar Jar appears and a little Imperial March plays (can't remember which one but I remember it made me smirk). And, while trying to search for it I found this:

LEGO Skywalker Saga's surprisingly great Rise of Skywalker story mode gives a quick-yet-effective nod to this prominent fan theory. In the story mode's opening cutscene, Kylo Ren follows the mysterious voice of Emperor Palpatine to the secret world of the Sith, Exegol. As he descends into the temple, he begins to walk through a hallway filled with cloning vats that hold the bodies of several clones of Supreme Leader Snoke at varying stages of completion. However, the last vat contains Jar Jar Binks, who excitedly waves to Kylo Ren. Jar Jar's presence on Exegol would seem to indicate that his role in Palpatine's rise to power may have been more deliberate than it initially seemed in the films, and that Binks may have intentionally been working in the shadows to put the Sith into power.

WOW, fucking excellent spot!

I write music for a living, mostly club music, a few years ago I had the idea that I'd learn to compose for video games and bought a very expensive textbook written by one of the industry bigwigs. TL;DR I probably won't be composing for video games because while I'm good at writing music, melodies etc, I lack a lot of the skills needed to write orchestral music. But what I did learn, is how complex, time consuming and expensive scoring / orchestral work is... in terms of getting a written score 'into a game' or film.

So there is no way that's an accident. That's deliberate, it's a very quick switch to a different melody that doesn't repeat. It's not note-for-note the Imperial March, but it definitely features the drums, and it's close enough. This imo is one of the most convincing pieces of evidences I've heard of so far, the others are a bit "Yeah I can see it but there could be another explanation".
