Poor guy

I mean, look, to quote Plinkett, i think the prequels are some of the worst things created by man. But that doesnt mean a childs life should have been ruined. As i said, i hope he gets over it and i hope the people at Lucas feel remorse for how they handled it all.

This is the down-side of being in a movie. Your personal life and issues up for blasting and discussion for anybody who wants to do it.

Agreed, which is why extra special care should be taken of children having lead roles in huge films. i not one who hystericaly shouts "think of the children!", but in this case, no one seemed to think of Jake.

No, he was just a useless character added for 'comedic' purposes like a giant retarded talking Ewok.

Umm actually Lucas said jar jar was not as innocent as we seem to think. Pay close attention to the hand waving and other things jedi do to influence others of weak mind. Also the"drunken' style fighting he did with the droid army. NO ONE is THAT damn lucky.
