This video is funny enough on its own, but someone remixed it with full Star Wars special effects and lightsaber noises:

Enjoy! :heh:

I really don't know what to say, other than, towards the last 1/4 of the video, he looks more like he is doing a dance you would see a guy doing at a gay night club more than anywhere else.

[Booyamos]

eh I was waiting for the kid to smack himself or do something stupid like smash the camera. He sure is good with that lightsaber though :rolleyes:

[Speedfreak]

Ahaha.. the remix is great. :hihi:

[RoniMan]

:stupid:

[Burzhui]

is the kid drunk

[Momma Kitty]

He doesn't look like a kid to me, he looks more like a 22 year old starwars junky.

that is so freaking sad...

[sbp]

Yeah that is sad but nice to see the dork is getting some exercise.

And if he's a true Star Wars geekazoid, he's thrilled someone added Star Wars special effects and lightsaber noises to this pathetic spectacle.

You know his parents are thinking why couldn't he just run around like other kids his age and not embarrass himself?

[Joshua]

Yeah... It's just bad.

Well, the kid has been found!

According to waxy.org (http://www.waxy.org/archive/2003/05/13/finding_.shtml):


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.


The link (http://www.jish.nu/2003_05_01_archive.php#200287473) to the article seems to be down at the moment, but hopefully it will come back up soon.
