Whether you've seen it or not (and you probably have), "Star Wars" has cemented itself into pop culture history for years to come.

One of our favorite "Star Wars" films happens to be "Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace," in which we meet young Anakin Skywalker, played by Jake Lloyd.

Here's a pic of Lloyd in action:

Okay, so in his defense, this was a mug shot taken back in 2015 when he was arrested after leading police on wild, high-speed chase throughout two counties in South Carolina. Sadly, after spending 10 months in jail, he was transferred to a psychiatric facility to deal with his schizophrenia

He hasn't been up to much since his "Star Wars" and "Jingle All the Way" days, other than some voice over work for "Star Wars" video games. Here's a pic pre-mug shot, back in 2011.
