And so, it is quite surprising to have George Lucas himself quoted as saying that that “[The Phantom Menace] is one of my favorite movies and of course Jar Jar is my favorite character. Ahmed [Best] did a fantastic job, it was very, very hard.” Binks and Best aren’t the only “Phantom Menace” casualties. I’m sure you all remember 10 year-old Jake Lloyd, who played Anakin Skywalker, and his revelation in a 2012 interview that fan backlash led him to quit acting for good. It didn’t stop there, Lloyd also ended up having a short stint at a psychiatric facility. Yikes. [Link ] Contribute Hire me
