Star Wars Kid & Episode III?

samsarajr writes "Many of you would have seen that homemade yet ever so embarressing video of 15 Year old Ghyslain jumping around with a pretend lightsabre. Well - he's back and I think we all agree that Lucas should put the kid with the lightsabre into Star Wars III." I tell you this is the story that just won't die. But in all fairness, some of those re-edits were hysterical.

    Won't the majority of Jedi be killed off in EpIII? Doesn't that imply that the SWK will die a horrible death? How will this make him feel better?

      It sure would make me feel better. Why not bring back the kid who played Anakin in episode 1 for a cameo as another young jedi, so he can get killed as well? Maybe Jar-Jar could be a jedi too!

      well, after Count Dooku gets killed with garlic, holy water and a lightsaber stab through the heart, Palpatine recruits SWK as his new hatchetman, who kills most of the Jedis until Darth Vader kills and replaces SWK, who in an ironic twist of fate, is revealed as Anakin's father.

    Some kids picked a nick-name for me I really hated. ... The kids in his school are probable calling him the Star Wars kid.

    I admit that I am not really familiar with the story... but if he is 15 and overweight, when "Star Wars kid" is a big, big improvement over *any* nickname he originally had.

    Perhaps of him flailing around with a double ended lightsaber and crashing into the walls like he does in his video! If he makes it in, I give him 1 week until its clipped, remixed, and put on the web all over again.
