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.

Well, it seems that another movie star has fallen to the Dark Side of the Force. Anyone feel like making a "Now THIS is podracing!" joke?

No jokes about this. Thank goodness he didn't kill any innocent people.

Indeed. I don't think I'll ever understand what's so attractive in going nuts behind the wheel. I mean, lots of people do it, both regular people and celebrities alike, so there must be something about it that makes it so appealing. Adrenaline rush, maybe? :unsure2:

In my opinion I do not think it means it is attractive he could have been angry about his life and the direction it went. Maybe is girlfriend left him. Maybe he did not get a role he wanted. It to me just seems like he was driving angry.

Hmm... Could be. That certainly sounds plausible. Still, the amount of people who do what he did kinda makes you wonder about their reasoning. I can't speak for anyone else, but I never felt the urge to drive like that. :unsure2:
