Surely, the actor who portrayed the young Darth Vader \u2013 Jake Lloyd \u2013 must be an adult, now.<\/p>\n<p>Well, of course he is &#8211; but Lloyd has been movie-shy for a few years. Following a belated release of his last movie, 2001&#8217;s Madison, which seemed to only see the light of day at all due to the presence of Jim Caviezel (at the time the star of Mel Gibson&#8217;s The Passion Of The Christ), Lloyd has been off the movie and TV radar, studying at university and making occasional convention appearances, including the London Film and Comic-Con in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>After the release of The Phantom Menace, Lloyd reprised his role as Anakin Skywalker in several videogames from LucasArts, including Star Wars: Racer Revenge and the not-too-bad Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with Sc -Fi Channel Australia, Lloyd mentioned how Star Wars has been part of his life for the past ten years \u2013 apparently, at high school, the other students &#8216;wouldn&#8217;t let it go&#8217;. Well, obviously.<\/p>\n<p>So, Jake Lloyd is still out there somewhere, and, hey, he&#8217;s only 21 years old. Who knows where or when he&#8217;ll crop up again&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Intrigue leads to truth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":9922,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"MSN_Categories":"Uncategorized","MSN_Publish_Option":false,"MSN_Is_Local_News":false,"MSN_Is_AIAC_Included":"Empty","MSN_Location":"[]","MSN_Add_Feature_Img_On_Top_Of_Post":false,"MSN_Has_Custom_Author":false,"MSN_Custom_Author":"","MSN_Has_Custom_Canonical_Url":false,"MSN_Custom_Canonical_Url":""},"categories":[1,140],"tags":[1431,1432,1433],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/annie.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9921"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9921"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9921\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9921"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9921"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9921"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
