Although many of you may already be familiar with the Star Wars Kid, I want to help spread the word.

The Star Wars Kid is basically a 15 year old nerd from Canada who became famous last April, 2003 when he got caught pretending to be a Jedi on video at his school. His classmates, to be cruel, put his video on the Internet and humiliated him. Soon, Star Wars fans began editing the video to make the Star Wars Kid look cool (some of it is indeed mean).

Now, there's even a big rumor Lucasfilms wants this kid to make a cameo in Episode 3 !!!

Apparantly, over a million people have downloaded this video. I think everyone should see this.

Not only is it funny, but I think it's great when a fan who got humiliated ends up being in his favorite movie.

Hey thanks for showing us this Succatash,

This kid reminds me of a guy I went to high school with, did all kinds of crazy shit too.

Now he works in Television and does standup comedy on the side.

Success is the sweetest revenge..

I remember seeing this and thinking how cruel people are. So cool to see something else come out of it. Hope the rumors are true.
