Star Wars Kid

I've noticed that no-one on here has really talked about him. Was anyone else swept up by this phenomena back in the day? Did the videos and spoofs make you laugh your ass off as much as I laughed off mine?

I've laugh a lot, while watching the original video many many times!
I've seen some of the others (edits, or parodies of famous movies trailers) and well, sometimes I've laugh, sometimes not...

The original SWK is definitely the best! Really, the first time I've seen it, I was laughing so much... I though I'd have a heart attack!
And after that (a very long time after that), I was thinking: "Oooh... poor kid..."

It's a mixture of pity and downright holy crap, he is such a loser/geek! for me.

I love the edit where he appears in R2's projection in place of Princess Leia. Obi-wan and Luke sit there, looking disturbed and puzzled by what they see.

I also think the Matrix Revolutions edit is also pretty damn funny as Ghyslain takes on the Agent Smiths in an epic battle!

Oh, I've seen it also, and I've found it really cool! It's incredible how it totally changes the scene, and the meaning of Luke and Obi's face expressions. Just great!

I've heard of this kid, but when it all happened it was during one of my "I'm taking a break from Star Wars" periods. I would like to see his antics someday.

I felt really sorry for him.

You guys know that he pretty much retreated from public life and refused to go back to school for a while because he was so humiliated, right?

I mean, not to sound all ABC After School Special here or anything, but who hasn't danced around like an idiot waving around an imaginary lightsaber? Poor little guy just got caught doing it...Yeah, he taped it and left the tape in the camera, but my heart still goes out to him.

Who's the bigger geek? Him, who was probably just screwing around on his lunch break, or the guy that shows up at the theatre 8 months before a goddamed movie startes, wearing full on Jedi robes and a $300 laser sword? Come on!

Or the guy who makes spoofs of the original Star Wars Kid video!

Yeah, I definitely understand where you're coming from, but on its own merit, it is still very funny. If anything, it makes us all laugh at the geek within us.

You're absolutely right. And more when we know that Ghyslain (aka "Star Wars Kid") has done this little "movie" just for him, at school, and unfortunately forgot to take the tape with him...
And the hardcore fans in costumes, awaiting for the movie are definitely uber-geeks! The funniest video I've seen about that was that show with a "dog puppet" (I don't remember the name), mocking again and again of those guys. A BIG laugh, for sure!

Lol Triumph and the star wars nerds that is one funny video, specially when spock shows up hehe who does the voice for triumph anyway, is it adam sandler?

As for the links on the site i have no idea its been a year or so since i looked at it, I just know its the biggest SWK site around, allthough chances are its dead now anyways.

Who is more geeky, the guy mucking around with a staff pretending to be darth maul, or the guy who goes out of his way to buy mint condition starwars tapes books technical journals and comics, sometimes for more then the origional retail prices even though they hold no real value?

My girlfriend hates me sometimes :-(

Yeah, there used to be a whole domain dedicated to Star Wars Kid videos (like starwarskid.com or something like that) too. A lot of people have chipped in and donated money to buy him stuff like an iBook and other things, so it's not all bad. I think half the stuff's done out of admiration for him, or at least a strange fascination.

I too signed the petition to have him in Episode III. I thought the PT was such a dead loss that I could at least use a good laugh in there somewhere...
