Trivia / Aftermath: Empire's End

• Meme Acknowledgment: To the Darth Jar Jar theory. An orphan boy named Mapo is described as being horribly disfigured, which perfectly describes Snoke's disfigurement to a T, and some of Jar Jar's lines about his guilt in indirectly helping the fall of the Republic can be interpreted as how he manipulated the Republic instead.
• Reality Subtext: Jar Jar's predicament in-universe (being reviled and ostracized by adults but beloved by children) is a not-so-subtle commentary on how the character was received in real life.
