I watched this movie. I remember liking it for what it was. I was never a big Star Wars fan to begin with so I didn't understand the backlash of the film then or now. I thought the kid did a good job and he actually made the movie enjoyable. That being said, what happened to Jake is just sad man. The kid was teased his whole life because of this movie. He later developed schizophrenia, likely brought on by all the trauma of this crap, and has not been well since.
The video goes into more detail about it all. I really feel like child actors shouldn't even be a thing anymore. So many of them grow up to have issues mentally and emotionally, or end up drug addicts. Some do recover from this mess but many don't. A lot of them are adult actors now and hide the damage.
