This is one of the sadder stories on the internet, the guy is known as "the Star Wars Kid"
The Star Wars Kid was just goofing off at school. Now he finds his private performance downloaded by over 15 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.
Every teenager does something they live to regret. It's part and parcel of adolescence. A 15-year-old Quebec boy named Ghyslain simply made the additional mistake of recording his moment of infamy on video. And now he's an Internet sensation.

Wow. I had no idea. That is sad indeed. Must be "nice" to have friends like this.

That's too funny!
Let your opponent graze your skin and you smash into his flesh;
Let him smash into your flesh and you fracture his bones;
Let him fracture your bones and you take his life!

I don't know how true the Wiki article is. I'd heard that he did it on purpose and he and his friends added the effects afterwards for a school project. Either way, it's not a big deal.

His parents have actually sued the families of the kids who put the video online. I have not heard the if there has been an outcome yet. Too my knowledge the people who put his video up on the net were not his friends either but kids that like to tease him. There was also a petition a while back to get him a cameo apparance in SW episode 3, but I never saw him in it unless he was one of the wookies, so it must have failed.

On a related note, I've often wondered why the Jedi never studied basic math. Let's see there are about 1000 Jedi and only one known Sith Lord and his easily replaced apprentices. The prophecy stated one would come to bring balance...hmmmm 1000 to 2 and balance on the horizon. I see three options: either raise the number of Sith, make the two Sith as powerful as 1000 Jedi, or lower the number of Jedi down to the number of Sith.
Meditate we must on this.

Don't know why, if he fixed his diet, did a little road work and did that staff routine daily, his shoulders would be as big as a gorillas and he would really be a bad a$$.
