Los Angeles ( CNN ) -- Max Page , the 7-year-old who played a mini-Darth Vader in a Volkswagen commercial , Monday left a hospital in Los Angeles where he had undergone heart surgery . `` I 'm feeling great , '' a squirmy and smiley Max told a room full of reporters on his way out the door . `` I do feel a little pain in my chest , but not much . '' Asked what he was planning to do next , he said : `` Well , I 'm excited about a lot of things -- especially having a milkshake . '' Max was born with Tetralogy of Fallot , a congenital heart defect that in this case affected the function of his pulmonary valve , which helps the flow of blood through the heart . After a number of measures to preserve his pulmonary valve , doctors replaced it last week with a porcine valve that should last 10 to 15 years , according to the website of the Children 's Hospital Los Angeles . `` We 're hopeful that this will be -- quite possibly -- the last major surgery that Max will need , '' said Michael Silka , co-director of The Heart Institute at the hospital . Max is best-known for playing the role of a mini-Darth Vader character in a Super Bowl advertisement for Volkswagen . In the ad , he goes around his parents ' house trying to use `` The Force '' on various household items without much success . He tries the washer and dryer . A doll . A sandwich . Nothing happens . Not even the family dog is moved . But when he tries to wield `` The Force '' on his dad 's new car , the engine roars to life -- with a little help from dad and his keyfob , of course . You can almost see Max 's eyes , wide-open with amazement , as he holds his arms out and turns to his unseen parents as if to say , `` Did you see that ? '' `` Star Wars '' fans might note Max bears some resemblance to the actor who played young Anakin Skywalker , who later turned into Darth Vader . And fans are also comparing him to a young Mark Hamill , who played Vader 's son , Luke Skywalker . Not that any of it means much to Max . He still has n't seen any of the movies . `` He 's a little scared , still , '' his mother has said . The best of Superbowl Sunday -- including mini-Darth Vader . CNN 's Taylor Light contributed to this report .
