podracing jokes ready folks;
WALTERBORO, S.C. (AP) -- A former child actor who starred in one of the "Star Wars" movie sequels faces charges after leading South Carolina deputies on a high-speed chase.
Colleton County Sheriff's Sgt. Kyle Strickland said Sunday deputies on Wednesday arrested a 26-year-old man they confirmed through a former talent agent was Jake Lloyd.
He played young Anakin Skywalker in the 1999 movie "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace."
Strickland said the man gave his name as Jake Broadbent. He has a birthdate that matched the actors' listed by a movie database and a hometown of Fort Collins, Colorado, where Lloyd was born.
Maybe he thought if he yelled "Now this is podracing" he'd get out of it without getting arrested?
