George Lucas lets Jake Lloyd out of his cage.

A now 16-year-old Jake Lloyd talks, for the first time, about what it was like to be one of the many factors that ruined Star Wars forever.



In the 2006 made-for-TV-movie, My Short Career As a Skywalker, we cast Shane Klingensmith to play the 16-year-old Lloyd. Dakota Fanning will play Phantom Menace-era Lloyd, and, obviously, Hayden Christensen will play the eventual strung-out, alcoholic, suicidal Lloyd, in a segment that will basically just follow Christensen around in his soon-to-be daily life.
