In Attack Of The Clones did Darth Sidious use some form of mind trick on Jar Jar,?
Here, you can see the scene play out and then Jar Jar sort of looks like he had the idea,. We know that he is weak minded so is it possible this was Sidious's attempt at a mind trick on Jar Jar and that he later continued to get Jar Jar to do as he wished? We know Sidious is powerful, Mas Amedda clearly knows Palpatine is Sidious and it seems like such a setup for a mind trick.
