And I can see why he believe that, as the kid had the innocent look to him, but was also a little more than that. He didn't bother me like he does some, but that doesn't mean he's a horrible actor. And in the end, all that matters is that LUCAS has chosen the actor HE believes will fit the part HE wrote for HIS movie.Who's to say someone else that you picked because you thought they'd do better would end up a thousand times worse?Using his own money doesn't place him above critism, but it definitely puts him on a level that other directors and writers aren't on. He's done thing all on his own. He picked the original cast on his own, so why shouldn't he do the same with the Prequels? Hindsight is twenty twenty, but at the same time, cast choices are subjective. What one person likes, another won't.The problem comes when people state opinions as FACT, which is a fairly common occurence. You think that Jake Lloyd was a ppoor choice for the lead? Fine, but Lucas obviously didn't and he doesn't go around calling all of us for our opinions. It could be argued that Lucas DOES do the effects all on his own, considering that he created ILM and effects as we know it...</blockquote>
