One of the problems I have with YPM is the casting of Jake Lloyd, who's supposed to be older as the Anakin Skywalker character than he actually appears onscreen. Tom me, he looks like a six year old, whereas he's supposed to be 9 or ten (OK, maybe 8). Why in the heck couldn't have Lucas gotten Haley Joel Osmet who was then the child actor everyone was talking about from the film The Sixth Sense if Lucas HAD to have Anakin be really young? HJO could act at least, the only reason for not casting him would probably be he's say "I see a dead franchise" when he glanced at the script the first time.

I'm glad the hex I put on Jake Lloyd has worked, BTW, and that he hasn't worked since stealing my money for TPM, by getting another big role.

"I see a dead franchise"

did you really put a hex on him? I thought about it but...

You put a hex on him? I put a hit on him.

The itman isn't returning my calls now... Mafia guys, eh?

Its easy if you get one of the action figures of him, some pig blood, and a rooster head and chant the Ewok song from the pre-Special Edition ROTJ ending, Nub Nub indeed......

The one on the bottom with the obscenely large picture, methinks.

I wince every time I hear that line.

Maybe you are a human being- although you're going to have to show me some proof of that, given where you live- but that doesn't mean you're not a slave too.

Its the only one I could find quick that illustrated the point I was trying to make. If the administrators would like to change it, that would be fine by me.

JL always looked as if he needed a changin' after delivering the Not Slave/Human Being line.

You all are sick. He's a fuckin little kid(or was). he has nothing to do with stealing your worthless money or raping your goddamn childhoods. the reason he sucked is cuz of lucas's lame ass dialog with the yippee's and such. get off his back. the poor kid, he was in some decent movies other then TPM and acted just fine. he was also in the new indiana boat racing movie with jim cavezial.aka jesus.

It was worth posting just for that reaction alone.

And if he was in a movie with Jim Cavezial I guess that makes him the Anti-Christ?

if he wanted a cute kid to play Annie he should have gotten Lucy from LWW

she was adorable

and more suited to the name Annie.



Annie: Midi-whatsa?
QuiGon: Midichlorians, are a flesh eating virus that gives us magical powers.

Babies are always cute. The kid from the Quizno's commercials would have been good.

Although i do agree, i could see haley joel osmith playing the troubled child version of anakin skywalker, im not insulting jake loyd.

I read somewhere that Wolgang Peterson was thinking of trying to get Jake Lloyd to play Ender in the Ender's Game movie. However, he might be a bit too old for that role now though, (Ender was supposed to be six years old). If that is true, maybe young Jake can redeem himself for growing up into Hayden Christianson

PS Ender's Game is about an Earth of the future that has been attacked 2 times by bug aliens and has nearly been destroyed. Earth decides that the only way of winning war number 3 is by training very young kids to become super battle commanders and so creating strategic geniuses who have no mercy and who will be able to out-fight the enemy. It won both the Hugo and Nebula awards in the mid 1980's.

I think the Quinzos Subs kid has gone through puberty whereas JL has yet to accomplish that feat.

(For those of you from abroad, Quinzos is a sandwich chain that has commercials of a baby that talks of his love of the subs using CGI, and I wouldn't be surprised if these commercials were the true inspiration for the PT, the way the Flash Gordon serials and Joseph Campbell's books inspired the OT, the PT and the commericals have the same plot depth).

I just think that the kid who had to sweat his assoff in the Greedo suit and rubber mask did a heck of a better job than JL, who managed to seem younger than his actual age in TPM. Even when the trades words with Sebulla at the market square, it seems it would be more appropriate for Qui Gon to take him across his knee and learn him some manners, the way he delivers that exchange. Although his grimmacing as his pod racer encounters trouble could give the passive viewer that he was filling his diaper in an intense fashion, something HJO couldn't do even if he tried. Its good for an unintentional laugh.
