Star Wars Kid hits bit, NBC Today Show

[galactica]

The Star Wars Kid hit it big today with a segment on THE TODAY SHOW NBC's morning show.

Just wanted to see what everyone though, those who had seen it. They had some people saying he's become a net celebrity with this short clips and others saying the boy definately has problems - interviews with students of his school saying he is sort of outcast.

Either way, I thought it was interesting to see that he made it to NBC. Well not himself, but his videos.

is the Today Show segment on the web anywhere? I missed it.

still waiting for Kung Fu 4: TGPO vs. SWK.

I love those videos. They got some pretty good effects artists out there who have too much time on their hands.

The Star Wars Kid

Who is the Star Wars Kid? Do you mean that fat guy pretending to be a Jedi?

I was wondering the same thing....then G_shocker to the rescue again. Thanks for clearing up who the Star Wars Kid is.

[Solarjetman]

Well, make fun of him all you want, but he is getting into more girl's pants than some people. See...

Get it? HA!

[g_shocker182]

He probably looks different now. Older and fatter!

[Tommyknocker]

I never saw a fat Jedi. All that swashbuckling is bound to slim you down and keep you that way.

[Craig Tucker]

I bet that kids shrink is rubbing his hands with glee.

[Hardcoreruss]

Funniest thing I have seen, I agree there are some really talented editors out there.

[housepig]

I never saw a fat Jedi.

you've never been to a science fiction convention, have you?

[Tommyknocker]

I meant in the movies. Sir Alec Guinness, Liam Neeson, Mark Hamill, etc.

[MOVIEGEEK]

I bust out laughing everytime I watch the video.I feel sorry for the kid and his parents but if they were smart they would cash in on this while there is interest instead of trying to stop the distribution of the video.

[tgpo]

SWK has found a place in my new movie. Anyone wanna play him??

[galactica]

I got a broomstick out today and tested a few twirls myself. I give the guy credit, its not soo easy. I got pretty dizy and the way my wife looked at me when she saw what i was doing made it look like I had some mental disorder! :lol"

yes, I'd like to see that too.. can you upload video, or perhaps an animated gif?

I promise I won't put it up on KaZaa....

[galactica]

Sure, when i get around to it. I need to free up some webspace first.
I only get 10 megs on this new account, and darn it ! its already full

when i get some free space ill put it up, or perhaps a portion of it!
Hopefully by this weekend!

Im pretty sure anyone can view .mp4. At least with quicktime. the nice thing about it is that this clip is now less than 1 meg!

I didnt have all the space he did to jump around as much, but i can tell you, some of what he did with that stick is pretty tough.

Of coarse this was just a horsing around evening with a blood alcohol level of about 2.0 so I if you're not the only one who thinks I look like a fool

[Solarjetman]

Nice galactica! I was waiting for you to accidently smack that lamp off the shelves!

[tgpo]

Oh this is too good to pass up. Galactica is about to become a jedi.

[tgpo]

NO!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!

Stupid classic running application.

Dude, I had you spinning a real lightsabor and cutting your head off.....now I'm gonna have to start all over... ARG!

[g_shocker182]

Galactica, simply amazing. Now I'm not the only one feeling embarrassed.

So, is there any truth in the rumours I've heard that......
1) he's in a specialist care institute because he's under severe stress
2) Lucas has offered him a role in the next movie
3) The family are suing the two that uploaded the clip
4) He's raking the money in due to the cut he's been kindly offered from all merchandising from that jedi site



Anyone have any updates?

Thats exactly what the Today Show said - however he was unavaliable for comment.
