The Star Wars Kid

[Kramerman]

A friend of mine showed me these two video clips a few months ago. The first was a video of this fat kid who was pretending to fight villains with what looks like shower curtain rod in front of a rolling video camera. This anonymous video found its way onto kazaa, and just a few days later a man edited the video by adding lightsabers on the end of teh pole and adding some stuff.
In short, it was very entertaining, especially for star wars fans who wanted to laugh at someone who was an even bigger nerd (). Anyway, the kid was identified, and the story of teh Star Wars kid and the effort to get him casted in episode III i found as an amazing story. the downloads of the video clips is estimated to be into the millions, and all completely by accident... check out the story

heres a link to the story of the Star wars kid:

and the links to the video clips didnt work on that page. here is a new link if you want to watch the original clip, the edited clip, and two new spin offs of it involving the matrix and the clone wars, both also very entertaining.

That kid seriously going to be on episode iii??

I doubt it, elijah.

I never saw the big deal with this. It wasn't that funny to begin with, and the fact that people would waste the time adding effects to it is, well, sad.

There have been like a dozen update threads to this already.

There have also been not 2 but 50 odd spin-offs. See http://www.jedimaster.net/ and search the forums for even more recent updates (the kid is now sueing his friends and god knows what else happened that the links in the first post don't seem to mention).

I've never seen this before, and I can barely type because I've been laughing so damn hard my eyes are full of tears... thank you all so much for alerting me to this... that's the funniest f*cking thing I've seen in a loooong time.
