Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace was awful. Nuff said. One of its stars, Jake Lloyd, who infamously played the young Anakin Skywalker in the prequel, was recently arrested, according to TMZ. The reason for his arrest? Well, apparently an intense car chase through Charleston, South Carolina landed him right in jail. Cops say that the now 26-year-old was ordered to stop when he began passing cars on the double yellow line while recklessly driving at high speeds. When he refused, a chase ensued for miles, until he eventually lost control of the vehicle and he crashed into a tree. He was arrested for "reckless driving, failure to stop, driving without a license, and resisting arrest." Lloyd is now in custody.

You don't know who I am? Well sit back because my story is a beautiful tale of power and integrity, a captivating experience and ingenious story.

When I was sent to prison for a crime I didn't commit, I signed up for the weapon X program where I got some acid stuff in my eye which caused me to go blind except for whenever I shout the word, "SHAZAM." I was part of Project: Rebirth and given an indestructible shield, however I had gotten bitten by a radioactive spider which caused my father Odin to banish me from my home, only for both my parents to get shot in an alley. And to top it all off, I was exposed to gamma radiation when my mother died and I was abducted from Earth by a strange blue-skinned alien, which gave me the ability to teleport, shapeshift, read minds, and squirt milk from my nose.
