Yeah, no way in #3LL will swk be in JK3. Sure, someone can skin him as a mod if they want.

Wouldn't it be pretty lame if he was the final boss in JK3? ph33r!

Just leave the poor kid alone guys. He already quit school because of this crap so I dealt he will do it again.

to correct the original poster, it was a golf ball retriever, not "broomstick". and i remember seeing someone joke about the SW Kid being a model in the game but you were foolish to think that he would be.

It *is confirmed as an "easter egg".

They said he's in the jedi academy/temple thing as a bonus if you can find him.


remember that rabbit guy (sam/max?) from jk1?

same deal.

rofl unnamed, youre serious? if you are, then post a link or something to where you learned that...if its true, thats hilarious. however, it surprises me that a company like Lucasarts/Raven would put something contested like that (and also not part of their licensed material) in a game. oh well.

;)

Well considering that the first person to add saber effects to the video was a guy at Raven, I would not be suprised if he was in as an egg. But I doubt it, because of legal issues.

well.. i i was SW kid, i'd be happy to be an easter egg in a raven game:D

He wouldn't. He finished high school in a psychiatric ward because of that video.

i've never really heard that story.. so he made that video for himself.. then someone got a hold of it an publiced it on the web?

Yes, his "friends" literally stole it from the school, broke in and everything.

dang..

so who made all the FX's?

the clone video, the matrix and so on?

Random people around the web who downloaded the video of him doing it.

there is no star wars kid in jedi academy.

As long as the kid isn't being paid I have no problem with it :).

The Kid™


lol

I never got why everyone's laughing at him, I'm sure that ALL of us have grabbed a stick or whatever and waved it about like a lightsaber at one point in our life. So what's there to laugh at?
Anyway Emon, is there anywhere where one can find the entire story on the poor guy?

Recommend you try www.theforce.net). That'd be your best shot.

And I say, let's all leave the kid alone. I can't believe that's thr only image of anyone waving a stick around (don't start thinking sick thoughts here) on the internet.

True, I've seen people on SW Fanfilms, on theforce.net wave their sabers about in rather clumsy ways as well.

Because if we caught ourselves doing that, we would be laughing, too.

Try www.jedimaster.com).

What really did it was when somebody from Raven software (?!) added the lightsaber visual effects and sent it off.. ; )

The SW kid doesnt have it too bad. Have you heard about the guy that got taped while "playing with something of his" (for lack of a better word that could get me banned). It happened a few years ago. The images got on to adult sites. I used worked with him at Office Max. He didnt even know about it at the time. I wonder what he thought when co-workers were making odd hand gestures and saying stuff like "We have a celebrity in the house".

Customers would come in with pron star shirts on. They would walk by him and say "I need to go home and play with something of mine". Even hollywood jumped on the bashing bandwagon. Most recently in Italian Job. If you watch the movie you'll spot it right away. I think he's a bit too embarrased to sue.

The SWK was actually a story in my local paper today.. Was kind of weird since I had just learned exactly the whole story behind who the Star Wars Kid was yesterday.

Star Wars Kid: An Internet star is born.
AP
It was a moment of unadulterated goofiness, the kind of thing anyone might do with no one watching: A teen from Quebec videotaped himself as he pretended to wield a light saber "Star Wars" style.
But that private moment went public, very public, when classmates at his high school found the tape in a cabinet and uploaded it onto an Internet file-sharing site this past spring.
Now Ghyslain Raza is known far and wide as the "Star Wars Kid," with a fan base that only seems to be growing - even though he doesn't want the attention.
The video shows the slightly portly teen awkwardly twirling a golf ball retriever like "Star Wars" bad buy Darth Maul, and has been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times. Websites have been dedicated to the youth. Supporters have raised money for him. And several techies have created their own "clone" versions of the video, adding sound and visual effect(including supposedly someone at Raven) or placing his image in any number of backdrops - from "The Hulk" to "The Matrix."
Many teens who post their images on the Web would probably be thrilled to get this kind of attention. But Ghyslain, who made the video while doing a school project when he was 15, has said he didn't intend for it to be seen by his classmates, let alone people across the world.
"I want my life back," he said in an email interview with the National post newspaper, a Canadian daily.
Claiming that their son has been humiliated, his parents are suing the parents of the teens who put the video on the Web.
Some say that case may become a step toward setting privacy standards on the Internet.



Fascinating story... In other news, idiotic electrical engineers installing new lightposts in a mall parking lot cut wire, causing a surge of electricity to backfire at the 7,200 watt Transformer, causing it to explode and blow a 30'Hx50W' hole in the side of the JcPenny's department store.

Hello people, you are supposed to block off electricity when installing new wires to AVOID that kind of incident. Luckily it was early morning on Thursday and no one was injured.

Well the guy that's in the last level of the 2nd set of missions, kinnda looks like him, his model would be a great starter for making a starwarskid model :P
And yes it is really sad that it got on the internet but wy would you make a video about it i mean waving around something is one thing but recording yourself while doing it thats just dumb.

if someone does skin him ,rax_joris would be perfict as swk

LOL :rofl:
I wouldn't dare play with a SW Kid skin, I get my a$$ kicked enough as it is :p
