Personally, I could identify a little bit with the blatant geekery and extreme clumsiness that video depicts. Maybe the intent to distribute the video online was malicious, but it seems to me that all it did was turn that kid into a minor celebrity.

Does anyone have a link to the video? I'm kind of curious to see it.

its sad that we all know who you're talking about when you say "'Star Wars' Kid" ;)

Personally, I think he's an idiot for filming himself looking like that in the first place. Even after he did it, he should've kept the tape. You can't not know that you look like a douche.

Wow. What a tard. I swear that kid was just asking for it. I mean, he obviously filmed it and did more than one sequence. His fault for the tape, not the people he sued.

People like this piss me off. Maybe instead of suing other people for passing the video around you should sue your dumbass parents for letting you eat shit you shouldn't be eating and act the way you do...

Shit, all he had to do with ask. I would have given him a couple dollars for all the laughs I had out of those videos.

It doesn't say whether he got money or not, simply that it was settled out of court. I certainly hope he didn't get any money, cause he's just being a whiney bitch. All he had to do was be cool about it and he could have turned it into a good thing. As worthless as high school popularity is, he could have been pretty cool if he'd gone along with the jokes instead of running off and crying about it.

He was even in a Tony Hawk game (THUG? or THUG2) ffs! How many people can say that?

he could have sent cease and desist letters to sites promoting it, which he has yet to do. He must have let it circulate that badly so he could sue.

it also says that he stopped lifting weights to stay fit because he was depressed. Im sorry but that kid looked pretty big to begin with, definetly not fit.

That would be the Euro (and US gov't) date style of day before month, hence April 7, 2006. ;)

Yeah, lol. I was gonna say that. That was pretty funny ) I would be honored and would take advantage....make my own website, sell t-shirts, copyright it, etc.

Still, he doesn't deserve shit, since he was a dumbass for first of all filming it, then leaving it for anyone to look at. roll

I got a couple of the videos emailed to me a long time ago, I never got an explanation of where they came from... I guess I just always figured the kid himself made the altered star wars videos, as a joke, or as some type of get-rich-and-famous-quick internet scheme.

Who the heck would film themselves doing something so ridiculous and then leave it sitting around at SCHOOL of all places.

How bout a video?

It was pretty funny finding him without expecting it. When he started dancing I was like "wait... that's Star Wars Kid™! bahaha"

And yes, I really said "™." I didn't want the fat fuck to sue me!
