'Star Wars' Anakin Skywalker
Arrested After Crazy Car Chase

EXCLUSIVE


Jake Lloyd, the actor who played the young Anakin Skywalker in "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace," was arrested, TMZ has learned, after an insane car chase that ended when Jake plowed into some trees.

Cops say Lloyd was driving in Charleston, South Carolina, when Sheriff's deputies began pursuing him. The chase was underway and it went on for miles, into another county.

Deputies say Jake began passing cars on the double yellow line and began driving recklessly, at high speeds.

Cops say eventually Jake lost control of his car, which ran off the road, through a fence and into a wooded area where it struck several trees.

The 26-year-old who also starred in "Jingle All the Way" was arrested for reckless driving, failure to stop, resisting arrest and driving without a license.

He's currently in custody.

This is not how it's supposed to happen per fan fiction.

I have a bad feeling about this. He should have handed the keys to kitster.

Given that he wasn't arrested for his acting in Episode I, he probably assumed he was above the law. Amazingly, he was only the second worst actor playing Anikan in the prequels.

And at least he had the 'I'm only 10' excuse. Hayden Christiansen, not so much. Still, could anyone have done well with that script?

Apparently, there is more to the story. He has schizophrenia and attacked his mom (not Shmi).
