Growing up as a Star Wars fan, I remember admiring Jake’s portrayal of Anakin—a character I could relate to as a kid. But behind the scenes, his journey was anything but glamorous. Jake’s fame came with an unexpected cost, and he faced a lifetime of mental health battles, including schizophrenia, after his childhood in the spotlight.
