5. Anakin Skywalker Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace
Why Youre Supposed to Like Him: The second appearance from Jake Lloyd in this list is certainly the more offending. In an attempt to humanise one of the most iconic movie villains in cinema history, Lucas cast Lloyd to play a young, idealistic Anakin Skywalker and were supposed to suddenly have this epiphany about who Lord Vader once was. Whats not to like?
Why Hes Annoying: Well, unfortunately, pretty much everything. This kid was in Jingle All The Way, and then Lucas decided AFTER that that hed make the perfect young Anakin Skywalker. Why is he annoying? Because, through him, Lucas single-handedly destroyed my childhood, letting each and every original Star Wars fan out there know that he doesnt give a flying f*ck about us, or his original legacy. Approaching the role as though Jingle All The Ways Jamie Langston lived on Tatooine (just replace the Turbo Man doll with Padme Amidala), Anakin might just be one of the most clumsily written, lazily directed and ill-performed characters ever presented in cinema. Give him a break, he was just a kid!, you might say. Im not blaming him. Im blaming Lucas.
