I heard a fascinating theory that he was originally supposed to be the main bad guy in disguise.
Things changed after the negative reception to The Phantom Menace, obviously....

I remember this theory from years ago.

If I recall correctly, the sheer amount of coincidences that befall Jar Jar and critical situations he's involved in rivals that of Forrest Gump and he should never have survived. The fact that he not only survives these ("accidentally" defeating a droid army), but positions himself into not just a General but also a Senator and effectively hands control of the Republic (by proposing the emergency powers vote) to Sidious lends a lot of weight into the thinking that he isn't just a bumbling pawn (like Greivous and the droid confederation was) but at least a major player in the plans of the Sith and more important than even Dooku to the Emperors eventual rise.
