Jake Lloyd | Where Are They Now? | Life After Star Wars

AFTER JAKE LLOYD was cast by George Lucas to play the pivotal role of Anakin Skywalker in the “Star Wars” prequel trilogy…
AFTER facing such strong backlash to the film that he retired from acting only two years later to pursue other opportunities…
AFTER being arrested in South Carolina in June of 2015 for initiating a high-speed police chase… Jake Lloyd was one of the most famous people in the world right around the turn of the century. Despite barely being 10 years old, Jake shot into the limelight when he was cast as Anakin Skywalker in “Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace”. It was supposed to be the role that launched his career, instead, it came to define it. Both his performance and the film were met with harsh criticisms upon release in 1999. But did Jake deserve all the hate being thrown his way? First up? My main man Jake Lloyd… or is it Jake Broadbent? That’s the name he tends to go by whenever he gets in trouble with the cops, so why don’t I just split the difference and keep calling him Jake? ‘Cause God knows you don’t want me calling him Anakin… brings up too many memories of midi-chlorians.
