Jake Lloyd, the child actor who famously brought a young Darth Vader to life in Star Wars Episode I – The Phantom Menace, is recovering after suffering what his mother described as “a full-blown psychotic break.”

In a recent interview, his mom Lisa opened up about how he was doing, his relationship with Star Wars and his personal struggles.
