'Star Wars' Anakin Skywalker Schizophrenia Triggers Jail To Hospital Move
Jake Lloyd, who played Anakin Skywalker in 'Star Wars: The Phantom Menace,' has been moved from a jail cell to a psychiatric facility.
Jake's been behind bars since June for taking cops on a chase that exceeded speeds of 100 mph.
The actor's mom, Lisa, tells us authorities reached the conclusion he needed help more than punishment, because he suffers from schizophrenia ... thus the move.
Lisa says she spoke with Jake last week and can already see an improvement in Jake's personality.
We're told there's no timetable for his release. His family wants him to take his time to get healthy.

Chris Hemsworth Location, Location ... Cashing In On Two L.A. Homes
Chris Hemsworth's move back to Oz meant ditching 2 gorgeous homes in L.A. -- which in turn meant lining his pockets with an extra $2.6 million!
First the Malibu home ... Chris listed the 6,800 sq ft, 5 bedroom Point Dume spot for $6.5 million last month, but he got $7 mil from the new buyers. Pretty sweet, considering Chris bought it for $4.8 mil.
As for the smaller Santa Monica condo -- it's a mere 1,200 sq ft and 2 bedrooms ... Chris unloaded that for $1.25 mil after spending $820k on it.
The Malibu home closes Monday, and the condo sold last week with listing agent Ryan Davis. As we previously reported Hemsworth ditched L.A. to raise his 3 kids in his native Australia.
