Um, dude. Ewan McGregor is a great actor. I'm sure his career will be fine.
I don't care! Give Jake Lloyd time!

Nice. I like it.
But if I'm the production exec and you show me an early cut of Phantom Menance, my first concern is not "Jake Lloyd is never going to be a good actor."
I'm more concerned about the veteran actors who sound like they're in a dental hygienist academy's production of Our Town.
It's not like he wasn't bad. He was. But I'm not calling the Fox brass together Monday morning and saying "hey guys. This Jake Lloyd kid. It's a major problem. Can we reshoot his stuff?"
They'd be looking at you like a ****ing idiot.
"Um... did you happen to hear the dialogue?"
"I'm not worried about the dialogue! George Lucas has a track record! I've seen that man shepherd great movies!"
"Dude... this meeting is seriously all about Jake Lloyd?"
"He was terrible!"
"Every part of that movie was terrible."
"But that doesn't mean he wasn't terrible!"
"Is this because you hate the casting director? And you're still pissed that they put in the whole midichlorian bullshit?"
"Pro Film Focus says that Jake Lloyd had the worst performance in history."
"I'm going to lunch now."
