Max Page, the adorable little boy who dressed up as Darth Vader in last year's Super Bowl Volkswagen commercial, was forced to undergo open-heart surgery to treat a congenital heart defect that has been plaguing him since he was three months old.

7-year-old Max Page, who is best known for portraying a diminutive Darth Vader in Volkswagen's successful Super Bowl ad (and also for looking uncannily like a little Luke Skywalker), will undergo open-heart surgery tomorrow at LA's Children's Hospital.
