That's disturbing, and yet oh so funnyhttp://www.vampireuk.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/rofl.gif

And here comes the remix (www.vampireuk.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/star.wmv) :D

[Darth Rancid]

He'd be no match for me and my triple lightsaber!

[vampireuk]

*Bump* just so nobody misses it sitting half way down the page:D

[demonized]

:rofl very funny. did you guys see how many times he got out of balance and almost fell.

[zippermcfrag]

That was so funny I can't find the words to express it.

[Dazz]

He looked nacked after 15 seconds lmao.

[sbp]

You know his parents are thinking why couldn't he just run around like other kids his age and not embarrass himself. And if he's a true Star Wars geekazoid, he's thrilled someone added Star Wars special effects and lightsaber noises to this spectacle.

i am not surprised that vampireuk posted this..

i mean he's from a country that said jedi is a religion..

:afro2:

[Darth Rancid]

Yeah....

I wonder, is Sith and "the rule of two" also a religion in the UK?... :)

[SurfMonkey]

I don't see what all the fuss is about... He was athletic, nimble, and obviously well skilled in the use of force. He is one to be feared. Many sith will fall at his feet.

All we need now is for the Imperial Burger chain to be opened and we have have our hero, our shining light of magestic potence. Either that or an overweight teenager with a novel sense of ballet.

The Star Wars Kid has been found!

The two videos were downloaded 1.1 million times from my site alone, a staggering 2.3 terabytes of traffic, placing a geeky little kid at the center of the web's attention practically overnight. So who was he and what was he thinking?

My research revealed few details, until the culprits finally contacted me. His name is Ghyslain, a 15-year-old tenth grader living in Quebec. Originally recorded onto an 8mm tape on November 4, 2002 in the school's studio, the video was never meant to be seen by anyone. After Ghyslain returned the borrowed videotape to his friend, the video sat in a basement for months. On April 19, 2003, Ghyslain's friend stumbled on the tape's secret contents and immediately shared it with friends. They thought it would be a funny prank to encode the video and upload it to Kazaa.

It only took two weeks for the video to spread around the world. Raven Software's Bryan Dube added the Star Wars effects on April 24, a mere five days after it originally appeared to the Internet. A week later, both videos were linked on every major gaming- and technology-related website, forum, and chat room online.

What does Ghyslain think about all this? My French-speaking friend Jish interviewed him today to find out what he thought about his newfound popularity. Read the interview now. Overall, he seems like a damn cool kid. I don't care what anyone else thinks; Ghyslain is my new hero.

I would've been thrilled had that been me. To think that I was known all over the world for whatever reason. I could travel to England and people would know who I was...... :)

I wouldn't mind shaking his hand right now. :D

[omghi2u]

I've seen this a few times already...but that's a cool kid with celebrity now. The remix was just hilarious.
