Jake Lloyd- Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars I)
It’s a shame that there was such a focus put on such a young kid. This was the movie of a lifetime, Star Wars finally returning to the big screen. A lot of the blame also has to be put on George Lucas, who didn’t lead the films in the right direction to succeed.
Jake Lloyd has been noted for discussing the negative impact this role has had on his life, and it was because the role was too large for him. No child should have to bear what Lloyd went through for this role at his age.
