Actor who played young, non-Sith Anakin Skywalker reportedly arrested
Did he turn to the dark side?
Jake Lloyd, the actor who played a young Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, was arrested in South Carolina after a high speed police chase, per the AP.
In The Phantom Menace, Skywalker won his freedom from slavery in a high-speed podrace, then joined Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn on his mission to save the planet Naboo from the Trade Federation’s blockade.
Lloyd, who is now 26 years old, was charged with reckless driving after he was reportedly clocked at over 100 miles per hour before crashing into trees on Interstate 95.
Once a podracer, always a podracer.
