Anakin Skywalker arrested after high speed chase

Agreed. Kid is still in his formative years going back to school, facing scathing treatment from other kids making light saber sounds at every turn, his very existence defined by a single bad, terrible movie. Liam jumps into Batman Begins and all is forgiven.

Exactly. Lucas had a dream team at his disposal and he royally buggered it up. I do feel sorry for the guy. He destroyed all his SW memorabilia and I heard he got picked on pretty badly in school over the role.

Yeah, I always thought it was unfair that the fanboys were blaming him for how bad Phantom Menance was. He was just a little kid, and that's exactly how he comes off in the movie. Not his fault Lucas can't direct actors or write coherent scripts. He took it really hard though. Last interview he did, he was a chubby neckbeard IIRC. Now he looks like the next president of the Manson Family fan club.

Should have owned it and written a book like Greg Sestero. I'm sure Lucas has had a few Wisseau level weirdness moments.

Yeah, effing fanboys. You know you can't blame him when there is a huge roster of established actors doing equally as bad. McGregor, Neeson, Portman, etc.

George Lucas ruined his life

Chase video. He was definitely moving for awhile there.

That was definitely a more interesting chase video than OJ's. More interesting than the pod race too.

Check out the cop at :48 trying to pass the semi on the inside shoulder and the semi was trying to make that exit. Someone needs to go back to chase school.

He kinda looks a little rapey (you gonna git it) in that photo.

I'm sure you can do better than him.

Probably.

He was a kid nobody ever heard of when he did that movie. I'd bet he gets very little, if anything, from that movie.

Now he's an adult nobody ever heard of...

Looks like he may have schizophrenia:

If true, feel really sorry for him - I have a cousin who suffers from schizophrenia and it is terrible.

 

[Eug]

^^^ Ah, that explains the behaviour. Sad to hear that.

Oh that's awesome!! 🙂 Good for him! He caught a lot of grief for that, so glad it didn't ruin him like the subject of this thread.

Bad luck having schizophrenia in a country like the US that has extremely low tolerance for mental illness. Poor guy just can't seem to catch a break it seems. With any luck he'll get checked into a mental hospital where he'll get treatment, but I'm guessing he'll just get tossed into lock up.
