Default 10 Years on from The Phantom Menace
Now we all remember Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. We all remember how bad it was and how it set a low benchmark for the prequel trilogy.

But does anyone remember the guy who played Anakin, the future Darth Vader? Jake Lloyd, just a kid (probably 9 or 10 at the time), copped a lot of criticism for his portrayal of the character even though he was replaced by another actor who was probably a lot worse.

Well he was recently in Australia for the Supanova Expo in Sydney and Perth and he sat down with the Sci Fi channel and gave a pretty candid interview.

Jake Lloyd: Ten Years After Star Wars Episode One : SCI FI PI // SCI FI Channel

Video is at that link.

I thought it was pretty interesting to see how he looks back on the experiance (obviously not too fondly) and see how a child actor in one of the biggest films of the past decade has turned out.

That's kind of sad.
And the actor who replaced him was a million times worse, though.
