Colbert + greenscreen + lightsaber = fun -- VIDEO

Stephen Colbert as Luke SkywalkerBoy o' boy, you can't click into TV Squad anymore without having Stephen Colbert's mug staring you right in the face. First, Colbert fans attempted to add fake information to Wikipedia, then someone decided to create an electronic version of Stephen's "On Notice" list and finally, to complete the Colbert trifecta, Stephen asked his viewing public to vote online to name a Hungarian bridge after him.

We thought that would be the end of that. But, no. He decided to top himself. Taking an example from the popular Star Wars Kid video on YouTube, Stephen grabbed a lightsaber, went in front of a greenscreen and put on moves so smooth and dangerous that they would make Obi-Wan cower in the corner. Why did he do this? Well, to let fans create their own video mixes.

Those fans certainly didn't waste time heeding Colbert's suggestion. There are already a number of remixes on YouTube right this minute. One of those has actually appeared on The Colbert Report in recent nights. That's the one I am linking to for this post. However, there are others, such as Stephen Colbert vs. Star Wars Kid. So, if you have a favorite let us know by sending us the link to your favorites. I'm sure there will be plenty more in the next few days, years, decades . . .

Personally, I think this one did the best job of using his random antics:

Colbert is managing the Internet medium very intelligently: from Wikipedia to the hungarian bridge to this, this is a very cheap and funny way to build attention. Congratulations to the man with balls of steel.
