Jake lloyd is the guy i feel sorry for - no doubt being asked to play anakin skywalker would b cool for any 8 year old. But at that age you have no idea if the script that has been written is going to be any good or not! and his parents obviously werent star wars fans cos they should have known better too!

This guy was the prequels first casualty, and at so young an age! now he's developed a complex about it, cos people keep making fun of him when it really didnt have much to do with him.... and it totally put him off acting for the rest of his life.

Infact im surprised his family, didnt sue George Lucas for abuse of his position and ruining a young boys life!
