Therefore if that gungan at the end of ROTJ is in fact Jar-Jar then there is a clear plot hole.
On the other hand, he was instrumental in bringing about Palpatine's emergency powers. Palpatine probably was "grateful" and kept Jar Jar around as a court jester or something in his summer residence on Naboo. Considering the things that make Palpatine smile, it couldn't have been an easy life...

"Who, mesa?"
"Yes. Amuse me."
"Okeyday. Dissa one Jedai goen into a bar. Den, dissen fella come up to him an say: yousa wanna buy some deathsticks? An de Jedai, he saien..."

"Knock knock! Whosa dere? Dan! Dan who? Dan Tooine!"
*force lightning zap*
"Owie! Pleasa massa Palpatine, stop! Mesa bleedin out of my eyes!"
"Really? So you are. Aheh. Aheheh. Hahahaha! Well done, Gungan! Well done! You may go. For now."
