Former Star Wars actors Jake Lloyd and Daniel Logan made a rare public appearance together, posing for a photo on Instagram.
“Just spent the day with my brother #jakelloyd #anakin #skywalker #starwars #family,” Logan captioned the post, in which he is smiling and holding up a peace sign, while Jake sits across the table.
Lloyd portrayed the young Anakin Skywalker in 1999’s “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace,” while Logan played the young Boba Fett in 2002’s “Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones.”
Jake Llyod Was Diagnosed With Schizophrenia
The actor’s mother, Lisa Lloyd, spoke with Scripps News in 2024, revealing that Jake’s mental health struggles began at a young age.
“Jake started having some trouble in high school,” Lisa told the outlet. “He started talking about ‘realities.’ He didn’t know if he was in this reality, or a different reality. I didn’t really know exactly what to say to that.”
Because of this, Lisa took her son to a doctor, who first mentioned that Jake could have bipolar disorder, but the medications he was prescribed didn’t help him. At the same time, Jake graduated from high school and began attending Columbia College Chicago. However, he missed a lot of classes and began “seeing people with ‘black eyes’ staring at him on the street, and having late-night conversations with “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart through his TV.”
He ultimately left college after a semester and a half, and went to live with his mother, where he was eventually diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
“When they finally told him, it totally threw him off into an even worse depression,” she said. “It was really hard.”
However, he has gotten the help he needs, with Lisa speaking with Scripps News while Jake was in an 18-month stay at a mental health rehabilitation facility.
“He’s doing much better than I expected,” Lisa explained. “He is relating to people better and becoming a little bit more social, which is really nice. It’s kind of like having more of the old Jake back, because he has always been incredibly social until he became schizophrenic.”

In an interview with author Clayton Sandell at the beginning of 2025, Lloyd shared an update regarding his schizophrenia diagnosis.
“Pretty good, considering these 20 years of time that have come to an end,” Jake said. “I can now accept taking on continued treatment, therapy, and my meds. Everyone’s been very supportive.”
