CO said:Feel pretty bad for the guy now, as he seems he regrets doing Episode I. Ford and Guiness hated SW years later because the fans loved them so much and thought of them as Han and Obiwan, but it sounds like the fans mock Jake Lloyd for being a young, whiney Darth Vader. I blame his parents because I don't believe any kid actor chooses that path, and most kids end up screwed up because they can't deal with the fame. Lloyd got the opposite as he got the fame of being in a movie hated by many diehard SW fans.

I feel bad for the guy, too, but I mainly blame the "fans" for it. I'm sure that most of us here can distinguish between the actor and the role being played, but many others apparently cannot. These are the a**holes that Jake Lloyd apparently kept running into, so I don't blame him for having a negative opinion of his experience. "You know, Mr. Lloyd, I didn't much care for how Anakin was portrayed in Episode I, but I realize that you did your best with what you had to work with" is a lot different from "God, I hated Anakin in Episode I, you really suck, you know that?!"...
