Lots of evidence in support of the theory (screenrant.com) but hasn't been directly confirmed by George Lucas.
Way too smart for Lucas. He never would have thought to be so clever
I gotta say that one of the best things I've read for a long time. Hilarious though.
As much fun as imagining Jar Jar to actually be a Sith Lord is I'm sorry but he's just an alien cartoon rabbit; A 'mascot' for the young demographic.
Anyhow thanks for making my day.
Same could be said when Yoda was first introduced but his Jedi background was revealed within a few scenes whereas Jar Jar was going to take the length of a movie. I do agree, though, that he turned in to a mascot along with C-3P0 with their horrible one liners.
