Star Wars Kid

[Anonymous]

The [url=http://www.jedimaster.net/index.htm" target="top]Star Wars Kid[/url] was just goofing off at school. Now he finds his private performance downloaded by over 12 million Internet users across the world.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

Dorky Moments Exposed on the side...<br>

I don't know why this poor kid doesn't realize his potential for instant fame...Yes, it will be a fake, humiliating fame, but he might as well swallow whatever pride he has left, suck it up, and have a heckuva lot of fun with it. He can really use this to an advantage, if you think about it. (C'mon, use your Geek mind, we all have a little Geek don't we? We aren't all on here cause we're not proud?)<br>
<br>
If he only took this in stride and took it way out of proportion, not only would it get so annoying that he would be forgotten that much faster in the Media and the general public, but there will always be someone out there <em>determined</em> to be the Next, Bigger, Better, Bestest Jedi Lightsabre Master Goo Goo Ga Joob EVER. So, once this kid gets surpased by that next-in-line, he will be forgotten and he can live a somewhat happy life.<br>
<br>
Not to say I'm nessesarilly going to run out and buy his Action Figure with Real Lightsabre Action....But imagine the fun he could have with this!<br>
<br>
Oh well.<br>

There MUST be a way for the parents to make money out of this..<br>
Maybe a new diet: "try the new Starwars diet. It works!! Only $ 99,99.."<br>
Now if you'll excuse me I'll go play with my gladius in front of my mirror. Swoosh, dzingg, whizz..<br>
