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.

Abary, why post this with such vitriol directed at Lloyd ("who infamously played the young Anakin Skywalker" in the "awful" Star Wars prequel)? Of course he deserves to be reprimanded for the reckless driving that put the lives of others at risk, but the comments here are quite pathetic. Especially the those of you saying that he deserved it for starring in the film. Keep in mind that he was about ten-years-old when he made the film, and jerks like you have made his professional and personal life difficult since a young age.

what @Eustace said. Plus I just want to throw this out there for the millionth time...I enjoyed the PREQUELS! Granted they were not the best compared to the OT, but dammit, its still star wars. I will never understand the immense hatred for the PT. To me it much like my love for comics....some stories aren't as good as others, but I still love it as a whole. Plus we got Darth Maul, Quin Gon Jinn, Count Dooku, Ewan Mcgreger's Obi Wan, Mace Windu, Grevious, etc. out of them!

@Canon108 I've been a Star Wars fan since I was 3 years old, and I completely agree with you. II was just so bad.
