the star wars kid

As a child, I wanted to be a Jedi. Badly. I also wanted to be a ninja (possibly of the mutant turtle variety), an archeologist with a whip and hard-nosed, hard-drinking private investigator.

In my darkest hour, I might admit that at a young age, I did exactly what the subject of the videos I am about to present is doing. Some of you might be forced to admit the same thing. But there is one important difference between you, me and this dork.

He did it on video.

Like kinky sex tapes you made with your ex-girlfriend, anything this embarrassing is bound to make it on the Internet eventually. And so, I present: The Star Wars Kid.

Viewing Guide. Watch the first one for as long as you can bear it. Then see the really well done “remix version.”

Please, fellow Farkers, have pity on my piss-poor server and consider getting these videos here. I pay a whopping $45 per year for my hosting. Guess how much bandwidth that buys me?

    Man, I tell you what. My heart really goes out to this kid. Why don’t you send this kid some money rather than the host of this site and all the other people that are exploiting him for laughs.

    Poor Kid.

    GrownUpDweeb
    waxy.org has already gathered ~$2000 for the kid

  3. You should find more hosts for those videos.

    Hey that’s me!
    uh.. never mind..

  9. SomeJerk says:

    I decided I wanted to pound on the server, so I downloaded it from here.

    I’m getting 4K/sec.

    Why did you guys not give credit to the makers of the special effects versions?

  10. I pulled down off Bitorrent. No attribution was given on the site I grabbed them from. If anyone has the info, I’d be happy to put it up

    Haha… Way to go for both remixes. I wish I got money every time I was humiliated, be it in public or on the ‘net! Even just an iPod would do. But both? Lucky kid.

  12. 3809940TAA says:

    absolutly great. the kid’s getting paid for the humiliation, so it all pays off in the end i guess.

    both remixes are great. thanks for making these readily available to all of the Star Wars geeks that haven’t yet admitted to behaving like this in the past.

  13. Seamonkey says:

    Yeah, well the kid is not taking the money on the advice of his lawyer. Yeah, that’s right, he’s going to sue the people that put the video on the net. Now I feel better about laughing at him.

    I got the first file from bittorrent, but then http://www.fdntech.com/files went down forever. Can’t even load that site. So… your page gets hammered. Sorry.

  15. kywjibo says:

    Also, the grammar in the remixed scrolling text is painful.

  16. Bittorrent is still working for me. Try again.

  17. Star Wars Kid might be suing people who put the video on the net.
