the story of star wars kid

link
The Star Wars Kid was just goofing off at school. Now he finds his private performance downloaded by over 10 million Internet users across the world.

The Star Wars Kid is a 15-year-old from Quebec known only as Ghyslain -- his parents are keeping his last name secret to protect his identity. Back in November 2002, Ghyslain was goofing off at a school video studio and recorded himself fighting a mock battle with a broomstick lightsaber. Over two minutes, the video shows the lone, overweight teenager twirling his mock lightsaber ever faster while making his own accompanying sound effects.

Yes, we've all had our dorky, private moments, but this poor kid is living the nightmare of having his private dorkiness projected across the world to giggling Web users. His friends found the tape, and uploaded it to KaZaA as a joke on April 19. Within two weeks, someone had added full Star Wars special effects and noises to the tape, and the video was linked on gaming, technology, and Star Wars-related sites across the Internet.

for non golfers, star wars kid is inexplicably holding a golf ball retriever. some people enjoy carrying these so they can 'save' their ball from the water. that doesnt explain why star wars kid had one in his drama class.

poor star wars kid. and hes from quebec.

You know, if you hadn't told me it was a lightsaber battle, I would have just thought it was intrepretive dance or something.

I like how it gets funnier and more out of control as it goes along.

OMC, that is so funny, I can't believe I hadn't seen it before

ya know, if the kid plays his cards right with the lawsuit, maybe he could get a bit part in the next Star Wars movie
