Jake Lloyd Interview: The Man Who Played Anakin Skywalker in “Star Wars: Episode I”. Fame Makes People Sexy.

So this is Jake Lloyd, and yes he is the boy that played young Anakin Skywalker in “Star Wars: Episode I”. So it seems like during his life he has been severely scared, and to me looks like he bottles up his feelings, from all the people blaming him for ruining Star Wars. It’s sad really, but you can’t tell me that his role as Anakin Skywalker get him some sweet, sweet teenage V-cards.

The guy doesn’t really deserve our pity, but think of it from his point of view. Ten years old, getting blamed for ruining the Star Wars series. (Well, that was mainly the fault of George Lucas, but the kid was there, wasn’t he?) And people just won’t let it go. The Sci-Fi Australia blog caught up with the glum “Star Wars” alum Down Under, who sounds more Eeyore than “Episode One.”
