The man, identified by police as George Cross, 40, of Lynn, was dressed in a white plastic "Star Wars" stormtrooper costume, and the gun was not real. But Lynn Police spokesman Lt. Rick Donnelly said that "the way things are today, you can't have that."
The call came from the principal of the Brickett Elementary School on Lewis Street (Route 1A) at around 1:30 p.m., as classes were about to wind up for the day, said Donnelly.

I find the schools lack of humor disturbing. Besides, all they had to say to the guy was “these aren’t the droids you’re looking for” and he would’ve left..

Lynn Police spokesman Lt. Rick Donnelly said that "the way things are today, you can't have that." I agree with him. Some maniac school shooter could bring a real gun in dressed up like that. By the time people realized it wasn't a joke, it would be too late.

Right.
And because real guns look just like the guns in star wars, there is just no way to tell.

Man dressed in a stormtrooper costume with a fake gun is arrested even after it was discovered that it wasn’t real.
The principle called because she wasn’t for sure if it was a real gun or not.
Gotcha. So why didn’t she call 911 when people dressed as police officers arrived with guns? Was she certain they were really police officers? Couldn’t they have just been wearing police costumes?
