I swear, this kid is going to be in therapy for years… 1. Do not fool around in front of the school cameras. 2. Do not leave said tape of you fooling around in the camera after you leave. 3. Do not allow geeks with computers a chance to edit your record of you fooling around. 4. Do not allow said edited file to be distributed to other geeks… Seriously, best laugh I’ve had in weeks… [http://www.waxy.org/random/video/Star\_Wars\_Kid\_Remix.wmv](http://www.waxy.org/random/video/Star_Wars_Kid_Remix.wmv) ---

That was great… You have no idea how good it felt to watch that on a Monday morning… All I could think about is how much I can’t stand this job… and then I see that kid running around like an ass… and suddenly… things really just don’t seem as bad… ---

Damb the laughter was hard to suppress. Just what I needed on a drab damp Monday morning. ---

That kid managed to be more entertaining than Episodes 1 and 2 put together. If Lucas doesn’t grab him for the next movie, he will have made a horrible mistake. I would feel sorry for him if it weren’t so funny. ---

Wow, that full version is amazing. It’s like a Cabbage Patch Kid version of Darth Maul… I hope whoever did the special effects version does an extended version using all of the footage. Maybe with a digitally inserted background? 😃 ---

The full length one is the funniest. It’s like he is fighting off a huge swarm of killer bes or something. I think I like it so much because, really now, who hasn’t done something like that before? I know I have, I just didn’t have a camera to tell me how ridiculous I looked. It’s the small thing like that I’m thankful for. Heh. BEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!! ARRRGRHH!!! ---

The thing is, in the original, he’s actually pretty good the first few times. The remix used the last attempt, which is clumsier because he’s tired himself out. From the website: > [@](#): > > I’ve turned off new comments in this thread because of the mean-spirited tone, and deleted the most vicious comments. Yes, he’s fat and awkward. We get it. Since 90% of the traffic to these videos is coming from gaming, technology, and Star Wars news websites, I’m guessing that most of you weren’t any cooler in junior high school than this poor kid. All you geeks, nerds, and dorks out there need to think twice before trashing one of your own. ---
