Star Wars Kid: The Rise of the Digital Shadows is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Mathieu Fournier and released in 2022. The film explores the concept of the digital shadow, or the traces of a person's past internet activity that can be recovered to follow them around for years or even decades later, through revisiting the story of Ghyslain Raza, a Canadian man who unwittingly became one of the first-ever viral videos as the "Star Wars Kid".
