@thedarkcow64 well fuckhead lets see you be in the most anticipated movie of 1999 and so many fuckhead fanboys hating a freakin 9 yr old wow!! I don't blame jake at all for quiting acting, heck BEST decision he ever made. He moved on, going to school for editing and moving on with his life. Fuck you and all the hatred he has gotten.

@silenceineverywhere I watched The Phantom Menace in 3D yesterday and it wasn't bad at all. I don't see why many people gave him shit about his acting. First off he was a kid, and secondly the acting wasn't that bad at all.

Man, Leo Dicaprio really let himself go.

This kid could have been a pimp at his school, Star wars, Jingle All the Way! How the fuck did you mess that up!?

They should have asked him what he thought of episode ll and lll and see what he thought of the series after he finished on it.

@NonstopRam Yeah. When I watch it like I'm in 1st grade it works. I mean I get it. Jake lloyd isn't a problem. Lucas cast him because he was exactly what Lucas was looking for - someone 8 to 10 yr. olds could identify with. It would be great if we could tap into our inner child whenever it was appropriate.

@DejaVoodooDoll I was like 8 years old when I watch Episode 1, and I thought it was the best thing since the Original Trilogy.

I now think the Original Trilogy is better, but I still like the Prequels.

Not only I got the prequels, I got Knights of the Old republic and books like Shadows of the Empire

I miss my childhood :I

Not quite as scary as darthvader

Jake Lloyd is going in my dead pool after watching this.

[batmanvspredator]
