I guess he's not the best pod racer in the galaxy, after all...

*while slowly waving hand in cop's face*

Jake - "This is not the criminal you're looking for."

*no effect. Jake attempts Force Choke.*

*no effect*

Jake - "Damn it."

Nah, Hayden Christensen is who I associate with Anakin Skywalker.

Jake Lloyd can try all he wants, all he'll ever be is Jamie from "Jingle All the Way."

So rather than a podvracing joke... He gets a turboman joke.

He'd probably thank you. He's on record as HATING the whole Anakin Skywalker thing. Truly loathing it. In fact its why he quit acting. From what I remember he's a Producer/Director now and he actually gets severely pissed off when people ask him about Star Wars.

The news doesn't suprised me. It seen very rare for an actor/ actress who can stayed clean within the law for a long time.

At some point in his or her life, he or she will be in the spotlight for some scandal, controversy or breaking the law.

His IMDB filmography he has no director, or producer credits what so ever, and relatively few other credits anyways. So I feel absolutely justified in saying this:

Looks like another child star hitting the skids. after being in the nasty business of Hollywood as a kid.

I looked it up after you mentioned that. Could have sworn he said he wanted to get into Producing in a different interview somewhere but anyway, I found this particularly memorable (and extremely awkward) interview where he mentioned he'd gone into editing and that his acting career was over:

And here's the semi-famous "living hell" comments that he made about it (yes, yes I know its the Daily Mail but still):

...Nah, gonna avoid the obvious joke here. Instead, does anyone else but me find the tendency of child actors to go bad kinda... depressing?

I suspect its the realisation that whatever you do for the next 65 years of your life its the film that you made at aged 10 is what you will be remembered for. In the words of F Scott Fitzgerald, there are no second acts in American lives, your greatest achievement was done when you were 10

Not to mention that he still gets blamed for ruining it.

Most of the child actors who lose their shit also had horrible parents. See Macauley Culkin and Lindsay Lohan for starters, also Britney and Jami Lynn Spears. Also, the biggest exampple, Michael Jackson.
Not all of them go stupid, Hilary Duff apparently turned out ok as did the chick from Alex Mack and the girl from My Girl. And Natalie Portman. But mostly they go stupid because of poor parenting.

There is a lot of that, yeah. OTOH, lots of adult actors lose the plot as well, and parenting isn't usually said to be an issue.

Oh if only Jar Jar Binks could see his little buddy now...

Thankfully, Robot Chicken already provided such a scenario:


It seems strangely fitting for this current predicament Jake finds himself in. =3
