Anakin Skywalker Could Have Been in Star Wars: The Force Awakens

There aren't many movie franchises that have been as successful as "Star Wars."

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:

You also might recognize Jake from the hilarious Christmas film, "Jingle All the Way," starring the amazing, Arnold Schwarzenegger!

But, this had us wondering, what ever happened to Jake Lloyd?! Well, here is what the the 27-year-old actor looks like now.

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.

Fed's Waller: More cuts likely though timing depends on inflation progress
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Inflation should continue falling in 2025 and allow the U.S. Federal Reserve to further reduce interest rates, though at an uncertain pace, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said on Wednesday. Waller said that while it was true inflation "appears to have stalled" above the Fed's 2% target in the waning months of 2024, market-based inflation estimates, as well as one-month and shorter-term inflation readings, have left him confident that inflation is continuing to ease in the U.S. even if the pace of improvement is less certain. "This minimal further progress has led to calls to slow or stop reducing the policy rate," Waller said in remarks to an Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development event in Paris.
