AFTER Jake Lloyd would take the blunt of the blame for Star Wars Episode One not living up to fans expectations.
AFTER he starred alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Christmas classic Jingle All The Way.
AFTER Jake Lloyd retired from acting in 2001 at the age of 15.

Jake later went on to state that Star Wars ruined his life and that his life at school became a living h*ll. When he would walk through the hallways at school the kids would constantly make light saber noises. He later took his anger out on George Lucas publically and then at home there was a physical altercation where he pushed and kicked his own mother before taking off in a high speed chase through two counties which resulted in a car crash. The boy has suffered from schizophrenia since he was 19, many state that the dark side of the force is strong with him.

Jake Matthew Lloyd was born on March 5th, 1989 in Fort Collins Colorado. the son of William 'Bill' Lloyd, an E.M.T. set medic, and Lisa Riley, an entertainment agent.

At the age of seven, Jake began his acting career playing Jimmy Sweet in 4 episodes of ER. Afterwards, he was cast as Jake J.J. Warren in Unhook the Stars. He got his big break alongside Arnold Shwarzenegger as Jamie Langston in Jingle All The Way.

He also played Mark Armstrong in the TV Movie Apollo 11 and appeared in a number of episodes of a show known as The Pretenders. His big break would come when he took on the role of young Anakin Skywalker in the Star Wars prequel Episode One. Playing Darth Vader before he became one sick and twisted robot with asthma.

Damn the internet basically ruined his life

[L-APEX]

"Retired from acting in 2001 at the age of 15" "Born in 1989", uhmmm WUT?

[sethlangston]

Kinda low to blame the success of a movie, or lack thereof, on a kid

[Cipher_Nine]

I really liked Jake Lloyd as Young Anakin, and I don't think anyone else could've done a better job than him.

[maxrebo]

Gets pulled over by cops
"I'm a pilot you know"

[MrValenttinno]

Who the fuck makes fun of you if you're in a movie? No matter what kind of movie, bad or good.. I know Episode 1 was not so good. but still it's Star Wars..WTF it's wrong with american kids? Bullying a kid because he was in a movie?
From where i come if you're in a movie like Jake Lloyd you're a fucking star

[LeisuresuitAndy]

Everybody that made fun of him is just jealous. Jealous people are pathetic.

[TheStevehuff]

He didn't ruin the movie. But a kid should had never been cast as Anakin Skywalker. Hayden Christiansen should had been in all 3 movies.

[anthony]

made fun of schizophrenia. nice one dude....

[mcneekur]

poor kid, i just blame bullying in general

[mainlysin]

Damn I honestly feel sorry for this guy. I think the movie was fine.

[herbie]

00:29 How did he "retire in 2001 at the age of 15" if was born in 1989, and was 10 when Star Wars was released (1999)?

[Jartny]

Horrible video. Why would you play the background music so loud?

[germanicelt]

The failures of ep1 was entirely George Lucas's fault. Jake Llyod played the part well. Disney should give him a chance to be redeemed by casting him as Luke Skywalkers son in ep8.

[fredrechid]

why couldn't the parents hire the kid a home school teacher instead of sending him to school with normal kids since he was a celeb

[Babalooza]

I feel really bad for him honestly. Some people genuinely hate attention, but most of the time they aren't forced into it.

[horrorjunkie]

Adult Star Wars fanatics are the worst.

[BigBadMadDog.]

Fun fact: I'm friends with him on his personal Facebook account and used to talk to him every now and then

[CrumblingCube]

This was really sad and i fell bad for the kid/man. but i have to say, his rise and fall as an actually person is more interesting than his rise and fall as Anakin Skywalker.

[DahknessDondre]

I feel bad for him honestly. Abusing his mom and going on a high speed chase are horrible things to do, but he was tormented for a movie doing poorly that he couldn't really do anything about. HE WAS A CHILD AND EVERYONE BLAMES HIM. If anything, blame those that cast him, not him.
