Anyone seen this flick yet>? Its pretty interesting...
http://www.mkf-gmbh.de/dm/starwars/modu ... (removed)&lid=10 The Star Wars Kid was just goofing off at school. Now he finds his private performance downloaded by over 12 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 golf ball retriever 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.

It's funny, but I gotta feel sorry for the kid. How common is the name "Ghyslain" in Quebec? "His friends found the tape, and uploaded it to KaZaA as a joke"Time for some new friends. That's the kind of thing that pushes people over the edge.

There is a movement to get this kid included in the nest Star Wars film... from what I understand, Lucas is aware of the Kid...

I saw that a while back... it was funny then and is STILL funny!You're right, that kid is now an internet LEGEND and if George Lucas wants to put him in the next SW flick, that would be fine with me... as long as he doens't bring back Jar Jar Binks.
