Jul. 27th, 2009 12:38 pmOne of the more contraversial pieces on YouTube these days is an interview with Jake Lloyd, the former child actor who played Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Of course, fans hate that movie, and many of those fans blame him for it. He says he was bullied an awful lot in school. So I don't blame him at all for what he's saying in his interview.
At first I thought that if there was a movie about me, he could play me...but my follow-up thoughts came with the idea that he should play the lead in another story I had written: Ethics & Toy Soldiers. E&TS is about a battlefield hero who is forced to become a refugee when his homeland is overrun--and then an outlaw when the army of a nation that had been an ally up to then turns on his people. My original vision for the story is a New Age Gulliver's Travels but with as much modern sensibility as modern mysticism/neomagic.
