Without going into too much detail, supposedly Jar Jar was planned on being outed as a Sith lord (possibly even Palpatine's master) in Lucas' original vision of Episodes 2 and 3. Allegedly, Lucas lost his nerve after the inital backlash and overwhelming hatred for the character and so rewrote 2 and 3 and created Dooku to play the Sith lord part that Jar Jar was supposed to play.

I honestly can't say I buy that theory, but man, I would LOVE to have seen where that would have went. Imagine Lucas creating a character that is reviled by literally the entire world only for the world to find out in a "I am your father" kind of way that Jar Jar was really a (THE?) Sith Lord!

Some easy ways to discredit this theory are that Gungans are genuinely athletic and flexible since they're natural swimmers. Also, Jar Jar was a Senator and war hero from Palpatine's home planet. It isn't embarrassing for him to be seen with one of his closest political allies (as Naboo would support the Supreme Chancellor). 

I really hate internet theories.
