Just read it. I kinda feel bad for the kid (I mean not THAT bad, he did get to star in a SW film and all), but yeah I'm sure he's heard an earful and when you are growing up that age, people hating on you on a large scale can really mess with you.
I've always thought that the writing was more at fault than anything. I liked his innocent gadgetry...just hated the "WoooaHHH, I wonder what this button does?!" lines. Not to mention Jar Jar. He was just a little kid. I think they should have started Anakin a little older anyways...in his teens and a bit rougher. Anyways, interesting interview. Chin up Jake.
