/For that matter, far too annoying to grow up to be Hayden Christiansen's Anakin./
Really? Because I think that they were both annoying, but that the older Anakin was far worse. Jake Lloyd's character might have been annoying at times, but at least he was *nice.* He offered to let strangers stay at his house during a sandstorm and he offered to help them get the part they needed by racing in a dangerous tournament. The older Anakin, on the other hand, was whiny, selfish, petulant, thoughtless, rude, and violent. Ironically, he was more immature than his 9-year-old self was.
So, while I do agree with you that Jake Lloyd's character was too annoying to grow up to be Darth Vader, I have to say that the same is true for Hayden Christiansen's Anakin.
