The Star Wars Kid
Discussion
Enjoy... :D
The Star Wars Kid is a 15-year-old from Quebec known only as Ghyslain (although you can figure it out on the original) 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. You have to watch the original first then watch the next 2

its still quite funny though... and it's only a few years old I think.
There were over 20 video variations, some sites had all of them, my favourite being this one
Even Tony Hawk (or some PC/PS2 video game) featured the star wars kid playing in a hidden room off a half pipe/jump.
Some people banded together to form a charity of sorts, and raised money to buy him a new laptop IIRC.
We want the timeline 
Didn't the guy in the video end up sueing the school mates who released the video to the masses, because it gave him mental anguish etc. etc.
The video is VERY old, and I seem to remember it was a couple of years ago that the story about the court action came out.
I'll have a google..
