Is there any evidence in The Force Awakens towards or against Jar-Jar being Snoke?

Question

There was a popular fan theory on Reddit that Jar Jar Binks was really Supreme Leader Snoke. Was there anything in Star Wars: The Force Awakens or any of its novelizations that would lead evidence towards either supporting or disproving this theory?

To be clear, I'm looking for evidence from the film itself, not Word-of-God answers. I don't care about specific comments from producers regarding the validity of the theory. Those can already be found here. I'm just looking for what evidence can be found from the film itself.

Answer 1

Update

Since you asked for novelization proof, in the novel "Star Wars: Aftermath: Empire’s End" there is this:

Also, in this book Jar Jar Binks is alive and living in disgrace on some random planet. Probably to make sure people didn’t think he was Snoke. - Recent Star Wars Novels, Reviewed - Science Fiction & Fantasy Community Blog

From the actual book (all typos are correct per the book):

Mapo: Why don't they talk to you?
Jar Jar: "My no no sure...Mesa thinking it cause-o Jar Jar makin some uh-oh mistakens. Big mistakens. Der Gunga bosses banished me longo ago. - pg. 101

Original

It was announced from a producer that Binks does not appear in the film, and since Snoke does, well they must not be the same person.

From theguardian.com

Jar Jar Binks, the goofy amphibious character who irritated many Star Wars fans in the 1999 film The Phantom Menace, will not appear in the new movie The Force Awakens, producer Kathleen Kennedy has confirmed.

“Jar Jar is definitely not in the movie,” she said to applause and cheers.

Also, JJ Abrams goes on record that Jar Jar is neither a super villain, nor a Sith Lord.

From NJ.com

No, "The Force Awakens" does not feature Jar Jar Binks as a super-villain.

"Right, 'Jar Jar is really a Sith Lord,'" Abrams says with a grin. "I so wish I was smart enough to come up with that one. I'm not kidding. That was on Reddit, I think, and it's this very long and brilliant theory and I commend whoever wrote it – it's crazy well thought-out. And if you read it – well, it's a little like most conspiracy theories, where if they're well-written and well-considered, you start to get convinced."

OK, but on the record, can he confirm that Jar Jar is not a Sith Lord?

"He's not," Abrams says firmly. "As far as I know."

Answer 2

Disproving:

• Snoke is extremely tall (WoG is > Snoke is at least 7 feet), Jar-Jar is 1.96 meters according to old SW Encyclopedia entry quoted on Wookieepedia. Unless we invite NASA to the party, it's obvious Jar-Jar is shorter (7 feet is 2.1m)

• Snoke doesn't look anything like a Gungan

• Snoke is implied to be crafty and intelligent. WoG is that he's super-intelligent. Show of hands everyone who thinks Jar-Jar belongs in Mensa club?

• J.J.Abrams explicitly said he wanted to kill Jar-Jar as fanservice for the film.

Supporting:

I'm drawing nothing from actual Ep7 media. Most of the "evidence" for that theiry lies in the Prequels - namely, it's based around the fact that he was the one who initiated the vote to let Palpatine get Emergency Powers.

Here's the deal though: If you read AotC novelization, he was bullied into it, by none other than Senator Bail Organa. Because that was the only way to go save Obi-Wan, Anakin and Padme on Geonosis. It was NOT Jar-Jar's idea at all.

Answer 3

Yes, Snoke is specifically referred to as being a powerful user of The Force

Snoke is powerful with the dark side of the Force, and seduced Kylo Ren into abandoning the Jedi path to become his apprentice - _{^{Starwars.com Databank: Supreme Leader Snoke}}

Jar Jar is specifically referred to as not being a Force-user.

His clumsiness was once mistaken for Force powers - _{^{Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know}}

QED. Snoke is not Jar Jar
