Among the many reasons why people love movies, the notion of escaping from real life has to be near the top. No matter how good your life is, just having that brief period of a few hours where you can forget about your problems and experience a new world is something that can be extremely therapeutic. Many Star Wars fans know all too well about escapism. I'm not going to start listing the negative stereotypes surrounding Star Wars buffs, but like most other stereotypes there is at least a grain of truth here. Not every Star Wars fan is a nerdy action figure-collecting virgin who writes fan fiction and labors away at Star Wars role-playing games while disregarding his social life, although there are some fans that still fit in that description. But these people look dare I say, normal when compared to some of the even more deluded folks out there. From folks that use lightsabers as weapons to crazed criminals in Star Wars costumes, it's rather confounding how many real life crimes have been committed in the name of Star Wars. Here's a look at some of the worst Star Wars-inspired crimes. These are the people that traded their lives for Star wars fantasies and eventually came to horrible endings after taking those fantasies too far.
