Okay Dakkon... I gotta ask - I'm willing to put money on the fact that that is Bob Keeshan as Captain Kangaroo with George Lucas' kayak paddle.

Haha! That's brilliant. It really does look like Captain Kangaroo.
Um yeah..... what he said!
Did you not experience the hullabloo of the starwars kid? He filmed himself pretending to be using a light saber. Some kids at school got a hold of it and released it to tease him and it backfired making him a total internet sensation. Geeks swarmed out to support him and tell him how we too (yes me) did at some point run around pretending to swing a lightsaber. We were just lucky enough that video taping it was either not an option or so expesive as to not be an option.
Oh, and if I recall the kid is Canadian. It was right up there with "All your base" for a while.

That kid becaome a global hero because of that, then his parents sued the kids, actually the kids parnets, who put in online, or were in the process of suing the kids who put it online. A website raised some money for the kid and he got a free PowerBook or iBook out of it all I believe. If you want to see all of the videos go to http://www.jedimaster.net/
The kids name was Ghyslain Raza and he is from Quebec. Apart from the money being raised for a computer, people also started a petition to have George Lucas have a part for him in the next Star Wars movie.
The kid unfortunately dropped out of school and according to his parents will be seeing a shrink for an extended period of time. But I guess when you are seen dancing around with a brromstick by millions of people, you might need a little bit of help as well.
