Darth Jar Jar was the original plan, Lucas changed it after the backlash against the character.

Was this ever confirmed? I just thought it was a fan theory.

That said, if Lucas had actually gone down this path, it would have totally redeemed Jar Jar.

Oh it's just a fan theory, but it makes sense and matches with comments Lucas has made with regards to the overarching themes. It also explains odd things the character does, which must have been intentional since he was a CG character.

Lucas will probably never confirm or deny it officially because it would confirm that either he got scared and made a huge mistake abandoning that plotline, or that he made a bad character a pivotal linchpin of the storyline since Jar Jar is the deciding vote that gives us the Empire.
