It was the worst Star Wars sequel ever – more a farce, than anything.

But intergalactic justice was served, apparently. Or maybe we just crossed over into a dimension without rights or even basic sense.

It was towards the end of the school day, and by all accounts, one George Cross was just passing by the Massachusetts elementary school in order to show off his newly-donned stormtrooper costume to friends.

But the 40 year old Star Wars geek was arrested before he could, after the school principal called police, concerned that she wasn't sure the fake laser gun was just a plastic toy.

As the Guardian reported:

A Massachusetts man is facing charges after he was spotted outside a city elementary school dressed as a Star Wars storm trooper, complete with fake gun.

[…]

The principal called 911 to report a man with a gun, and the school was briefly locked down.

Admittedly, the relevant authorities didn't believe the man posed a threat, and could have warned him or asked him to move along rather than  arrested him, but instead they created a panic situation that delayed the school day and brought everything to a halt.
