Who brought the chips ?
This incident was not Star Wars inspired at all. The guy involved is a friend of mine from a homegrown stunt group. Our groups hook up and film stunts together sometimes. The media saw the like-ness between the tube lights and the new Star Wars movie and labelled them 'Star Wars Fans'. I still find it kinda immature that so many people are laughing at this horroific event...
Maybe these newspaper cuttings will make more sense.
