If true, and if Lucas could have pulled it off, I'd have forgiven him every fart joke, every poop joke, and every terrible line of dialogue leading up to it. Can you imagine the impact of such a revelation, after audiences worldwide had spent ~3 films hating Jar Jar for being a misbegotten attempt to shoehorn unnecessary comic relief?

One comment I read about the theory is that Lucas might have panicked upon realizing just how badly audiences reacted to Jar Jar, so he bagged the whole idea. If that's true, it's a terrible shame.
