Thank you so much for the prompt correct answer and making my day.

For all the (rightful) hate Lucas gets over the prequels he pretty much owns for embracing his role as Star Wars Villain. How many other old fat dudes could pull off that pic

Also it was really funny when he trolled people by wearing a Greedo Shot First t-shirt and calling lightsabers Laser Swords

we should cheer him up by directing him to the cinema forum's Star Wars thread, where the consensus of the mentally ill people is that The Phantom Menace is an amazing movie.

The problem he has is schizophrenia. Being in a movie that made lots of money but wasn't popular with fat smelly nerds everywhere (also other kinds of nerd) does not equal having your life ruined.

Most kids have to settle for doing something memorable and embarrassing or maybe getting fondled by a scout leader / Catholic priest. He was in a major motion picture. It's really not that awful a start in life.

Lucas is actually a really great irl troll.

He wanted to build a studio on Skywalker ranch out in Marin but NIMBYites basically blocked him because, reasons. So now he's building a giant affordable housing complex on his land instead to house the poors just so he can give Marin the middle finger and piss off all the rich nimby yuppies

He wasn't even that bad in the movie, compared to the poo poo going on around him.

It's frustrating to think that fans out there so greatly hated a child's performance in a movie that they torment the actor irl.

Seriously, of all the issues that movie had, acting really wasn't one of them. Direction, writing, production, effects and voice work sure. but acting and the score were okay

By all accounts Lucas is a pretty cool dude IRL, he just became a fat and lazy director.

Give Prometheus about six-ten years and you'll see Ridley Scott receive the same flack for his Please Retire Trilogy

I legit feel bad for Jake Lloyd. Dude's entire life seems like some kind of Faustian Bargain scenario. If anything he needs to schedule a meeting with Will Wheton and figure out how he managed to kind of own it while moving on and making a little money off of it

Also the interviw at the convention just made me hate the interviewer for doing 0 research and trying to dogpile on the poor guy.

Schizophrenia is hugely genetic or at least hugely influenced by a persons very early environment. Even without Star Wars there's a really, really good chance he would have developed it anyway and not been a millionaire. If anything being a child star probably gives him a leg up on someday leading a stable life.

Schizophrenia is incredibly hosed up and scary TBH. Guy was probably vulnerable to it as a kid and acting in Star Wars (or the teasing afterwards) brought it out. Another life ruined by George Lucas.
