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.
If you wish to sign, too, do it here.
Here's a link to the original video and a later-remixed video:

Nevermind my earlier post, I found the video here:
The Original Video
See this video in context
I can't believe people are so naive. Give him a part in a movie? Are you sure just because that is your fantasy that it is everyone else's fantasy? You already think of the guy as someone to be pitied, which is easy since you've already had your fun and yucked it up with your friends sitting around the monitor. You think that once he makes it to the set, dressed up in glorious Star Wars regalia, standing next to Mace Windu, it will be a euphoric triumph of this kid's narrow starwars themed universe. Why don't you just send him some fucking Han Solo underroos instead. Save the Star wars part for some mental patients.
If I were that kid, I would want nothing short of revenge. I would sue the hell out of their parents, take their house, make them live in a shitty aparetment. I would buy a porche with their money and drive it to school everyday, passing by the kids new getto digs just out of spite no matter how far out of the way. I would buy a video camera and set it up across the street from their apartment, and put the video feed on the internet. I would start a corp and hire a team of lawers to sue the fuck out of every radio station that so much as mentioned the video on the air. You would do all this too, this is real retribution.
Apparently the kid is under psychiatric care and his parents are suing. I wonder if being in the star wars movie would help. Here's the story.
He was saying the kid was fat, not unable to use the force, dumbass.
Are all lawsuits evil? According to this article these kids did a lot more than just hurt this kids feelings. They stole the video from a school filing cabnet. Posted it to the internet with messages encouraging people to make fun of it. Conspired to hide the fact they stole the tape from school officials. Plotted to have the iPod and money that were raised for him sent to a different address, so they could keep them. Ghyslain was so widely mocked at his private high school that he dropped out. He had to finish the session at Pavillon Arc-en-ciel, a ward specializing in child psychiatry at the Trois-Rivieres Regional Hospital Centre. They didn't just hurt his feelings, the tried to ruin his life. Surely theres a lawsuit in there somewhere. I hope they take these punks to the cleaners.

It was confirmed by Lynne Hale from Lucasfilm, actually. Here's an article I found about them being cut. The geeks didn't like it, apparently.
