The poor kid filmed himself trying out (what he thought) was karate moves with a broom stick and filmed it with his school camera, he forgot to remove the tape and when someone found it they posted it on the net. People worldwide laughed and slagged him off for being such a dork and he ended up going into hiding as he was the brunt of everyones jokes. Now some nice chaps at "lucas films" heard about it and changed the broom stick for a light saber and added laser blasts as if the kid was stopping the blasts. All of a sudden he became the coolest kid on the block and apparently had a walk on roll in the last movie "revenge of the sith". P.S he has now made a cool bit of cash with "starwars kid" T'shirts and merchantdise.
This is the kids original footage.
