Get yer podracing jokes (http://www.wptv.com/entertainment/star-wars-star-jake-lloyd-arrested-after-s-carolina-high-speed-chase) ready folks;
QuoteWALTERBORO, 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?
"My, my, this here Anakin guy
Maybe Vader someday later
Now he's just a small fry....." :wink:
