Well, I might as well take advantage of the topic title to post something you guys may or may not have heard about: A friend of mine showing off his skills in Tony Hawk's Underground 2 managed to actually find the Star Wars kid in story mode. I think he said it was in the first level, and I remember that to reach the wannabe Jedi he had to do some (warning: I don't know a thing about skateboarding, so the following may look odd) rocking back and forth between two brick walls with slopes until he launched himself so far into the air he could grab the window of one of the buildings and climb in.

One of the guys at work posted a video of it. Fun stuff. Might have to get the game just for that.
Really, since it's an Activision game, there's no good reason for me not to get it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

What actually happened to that kid? Last I heard, there was a site taking donations to send him and iPod and some goodies. And there was also a court case pending apparently.

If anyone can find a screenie, it could be funny.

I hear there are rumors on the internets... I don't know weather to laugh or cry.
He's known in THUG2 as "geeky kid" and doesn't actually look like him, iirc, so i doubt any likeness rights would have been paid.
