10 years and over 1 billion views later, Ghyslain Raza aka “Star Wars Kid†has broken his longtime silence in an interview with Canadian publication Maclean’s. The issue, which is on shelves today, details Raza’s struggle as one of the internet’s most highly-ridiculed viral phenomenons.

In 2002, using his school’s AV room, Raza recorded himself imitating a Jedi from the “Star Wars†films. The then 14-year-old’s awkward display captivated the internet’s attention causing the recording to become one of YouTube’s earliest viral hits.

10 years is a pretty long time. Poor guy, but dammit if he didn't entertain us at some point. Crazy stuff though, wonder what prompted him to speak out about it now.

They should cast him in the next Star Wars movie as a nod to his Youtube stardom. Dude certainly deserves it.

I've never seen that "Viral" video until now. This is the first time I've ever heard anything about it.

But 10 years? Come on man, grow a pair and tell the people who made fun of you to fuck off. You're an honorary Jedi.

The Force wasn't very strong with him then. Now though, with the legal power behind him? The Force is strong!
