Young Anakin Says Star Wars Ruined His Childhood

[huedell]

... I don't think he's really saying that either - in this article they're just pulling out a couple of sentences of what he's saying. ....he's just answering questions in an interview - he's not going on Oprah and writing a tell-all book.

Even though I don't think his life is tragic - and even though he's making money - I think anyone would have mixed feelings about having the entire course of their life set up for them when they were 10 (or however old he was).

All good points.

It's just a few magnified sentiments from an iconic actor for STAR WARS
nerds to feed upon.

Now back to "Who shot first."

here's daniel logan all grown up who seems to have embraced his boba fett character

I've met Logan. Now that's an obnoxious little ****. It's the first time, that I know of, when the convention organizers were going to tell an actor not to come back for the next day of signing. Like, "please go home now"...

[Gorn Captain]

I still wish someone would make a parody of Samuel Jackson's character from Pulp Fiction as a Jedi Knight. "I have this little saying before I slay your lil' Jedi a*s..."

Mace Windu: "Mmm-mmmm. That is a tasty burger. Obi-wan, ever have a Big Bantha Burger? Wanna bite? They're real tasty."

NICE!

Reviving this thread because Jake Lloyd is a guest at Disney World's Star Wars Days event the weekend we are going to DW. I know my son will be excited to meet him, and I wanted to know what to expect. Anyone know if the celebrities charge for autographs there? And how is Lloyd in person, especially to young ones?

please, Anakin was the role of a lifetime...good or bad he was Still Anakin F'N SKYWALKER! how many people would've loved that? He need's to grow some ballz and snap out of it...I'm surprised he hasn't blamed Turboman as well..

It wasn't the role, it was his poor acting skills that ruined his career, I met him and Like him...but come on dude

I quite liked him in Jingle All The Way and thought for a kid actor he did pretty well so I blame direction for his poor acting in Star Wars. George Lucas should stick to writing tbh.

^The kid who played Boba Fett is too busy doing his voice on the cartoon.

Good point. Daniel Logan is making a career of it. Plus, he's a nice kid. I met him years ago. I'm sorry to read that Gorn Captain's experience with him wasn't as pleasant.

10% of life is what happens to you. 90% is how you react.

That is very cool. I'll remember that.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Okay, I guess I should have started a new thread instead of reviving this one.

Anyone want to chime in on their experiences with this guy? And if you've been to Disney's Star Wars days, do celebrities charge autograph fees?

Here you go Chris...straight from the Disney Parks Blog:

Autograph Opportunities: As always, there is no additional charge for the celebrity autograph sessions at Star Wars Weekends. The autograph lines will once again be handled via a FASTPASS-type system. The meet-and-greet session/autograph opportunities are extremely limited, so guests need to arrive early to receive a FASTPASS. Please refer to this link, which will take you to the official Star Wars Weekends event page on DisneyWorld.com. There, you’ll find more detailed information under “Celebrity Autographs.”

Star Wars didn't kill Jake's career. Puberty killed it. Geeezzzzzzz. He should go get advice from Ron Howards little brother. What's life after cute like?

[Earth 2 Chris]

Thanks Anthony. I saw the FastPass part but glossed over the autograph fee.

I may get Andrew to pick up the current young Anakin Padawan for Lloyd to sign. That would be cool for him to have. He likes Anakin, despite his old man's rumblings.

hahaha "Is there a sign on my front lawn that says 'Dead Clone Trooper Storage?'"

"What do they call a Quarter Pounder on Tattooine?"

I don't blame Jake Lloyd. I never did. He did his job the way he was told to do it. He said the lines that were written for him. Even if the lines were terrible, he wasn't about to say so because he was like 10 years old. You can only blame George Lucas.
I would have got the kid from Sixth Sense to play Anikan. He had this intense look about him. "I see dead Jedi. They're walking around like regular Jedi".

Here, Here!

Also, good point about the kid from 6th Sense, his life is already screwed up due to being a child star so one more film won't make any difference, right?

Supposedly, Haley Joel Osment did audition for the role of Anakin Skywalker, but never got a callback.
