I don't think they will put it at the beginning, because there is never anything at the beginning of Star Wars episodes except the crawl.

From what I read, Lloyd was teased a lot as a kid after The Phantom Menace. What's really sad is you watch the Episode 1 Documentary and you see him doing a test read with Natalie Portman, and then they show the family finding out he was going to be Darth Vader and they are celebrating. Now you see what eventually happened to him....

He was quoting mcnabb from a few posts ago. Not sure why he didn't use the "quote" button to properly attribute/link back to the original post.
The original source of the story was an interview Jake Llyod did in 2012:

The 22-year-old became so haunted by the movie he vowed never to act again and he has stayed true to his word.
He said: 'Other children were really mean to me. They would make the sound of the light saber every time they saw me. It was totally mad.' Jake recalls how busy his young life became and at one point he was doing around 60 interviews a day. 'My entire school life was really a living hell — and I had to do up to 60 interviews a day.'
Lloyd felt so much anger towards the George Lucas directed film that he destroyed all of his Star Wars memorabilia, and only reprised his role as Anakin for five video games. The youngster decided to take early retirement from acting as he was no longer able to fit in at school.

For ONLY five video games. Now that's sticking to your guns.

Keep in mind that some or all of those games might've been contractual obligations as tie-ins to the movie. Also, the last game his voice appears in was in 2002, just 3 years after the movie came out.
IMDB lists 7 video games with his voice in them, although it's possible some of them, possibly the later ones, just repurposed his voice from the movie or previous games.

Super Bombad Racing seems to be an example where the game used previously recorded clips:

And while I'm at it, I'll laugh at the voice samples, most of which are drawn straight from the movies (Jake Lloyd gets a credit in the voice-acting section).

I look forward to the story twenty years from now when one of these guys kills their father.
The US Social Security Administration released its list of baby names for 2016 on Friday. And there, at the very top of the list titled "Names that increased in popularity from 2015 to 2016" was, um, Kylo. It shot up from being the 2,368th most popular to position 901.

My avatar... his name is Kylo. This is what happens when you name your kid Kylo.

I wish I had kept all of my previous Vanity Fair Star Wars issues.
As an aside why is Micheal Cera's girlfriend on the cover with Finn?

the print issue doesn't get a wide release until June but the digital edition is out tomorrow. I've half a mind to just subscribe for a year just to get it.

The Carrie Fisher cover made me cry. Her passing didn't move me until seeing that.

This is such a great picture. I really hope we get to see them together again one last time.
