Star Wars Kid in the Original 'Star Wars Kid' VideoPlay this trailer

An exuberant teenage Star Wars fan recorded his Darth Maul-inspired light sabre-twirling improvisations, only to unexpectedly see them become an Internet phenomenon. At eBaum's World, watch the original Star Wars Kid tape which has spawned many spoofs and creative edits. Unauthorized Web posting of the footage, believed viewed by millions, has brought legal action from the boy's parents.

Review:

We can all recognize ourselves in this infectious footage of a Canadian youth at play. Ghyslain's innocence and joy are delightful. Seen through multiple takes, his increasingly frenetic performances are rousing and amusing.
