The Brown books are great - and available at the library, most likely. I've read them.
As for that speculation, if it's true, we still have a lot to complain about with Jar Jar's handling in the Phantom Menace. First, the audience will feel like there wasn't an actual chance to deduce this conclusion. Jar Jar is a non-humanoid creature - his jumping could be something to do with Gungan musculature. Jar Jar becomes a Senator (Ambassador?) from Naboo when Palpatine becomes Chancellor, so being seen with him isn't out of the ordinary. The Phantom Menace could refer to the Trade Federation blockade, a false flag operation designed to get sympathy for a more autocratic government. Jar Jar doesn't mysteriously crack his comedic relief facade temporarily in any places.
There aren't, as best I can tell, any parts that can't be explained through more mundane methods than having to make Jar Jar a Sith Lord. There isn't that one weird thing that refuses to have another explanation.
If it happens, things will likely be seen primarily as trying to make Jar Jar more interesting, rather than as following the plot that's that were dangled in the previous movies.
That, and Machete Order will have to rework itself somewhat. Probably Episode I before Episode VII.
