He was never institutionalized, he had to go to counseling since everytime he went to school, everyone would chant "Star Wars Kid" and such (not to mention the worldwide ridicule). He dropped out and got home schooling. His parents sued the three scoolmates responsible back in 2003 for a quarter mil. They were supposed to go to court in April of this year, but settled out of court instead.
There was also a petition to get Lucas to give Ghyslain a cameo in the upcoming star wars movies at the time . [url=\"http://www.petitiononline.com/Ghyslain/petition.html\"]http://www.petitiononline.com/Ghyslain/petition.html[/url]. This never happened and nobody really expected it to.
Two sites, Waxy.org and jish.nu, began a fundraiser to buy him an Apple iPod also. In less than a week, they raised over $3,200 and sent him a 30GB iPod plus a $2,600 gift certificate.
As stated, if he were smart, he would capitalize on it. Lord knows he\'s never gonna have a career as a jedi master.
