There are people who are taking themselves a bit too much seriously. Some fan of science fiction are sometimes going too far on some point. Ukraine seems to be a good place for fan of the Star Wars franchise. I found an article on a guy, in Ukraine, that had changed legally his name and dress as Darth Vader (Darth Mykolaiovych Vader). He tried to get elected as mayor of Odessa. There was a Chewbacca that was fined. As I look at the (ahem, coughing, hilarious) photos, there also some Storm Trooper that walk around town. I am sure that Lenin would not approved of his statue being turned into a Darth Vader one.
I just hope it will not end in a battle of franchise (the eternal Star Wars VS Star Trek). I have heard that some people who dress in Star Trek's uniform year round. It is less eye catching and less news worthy than a full dressed up character of Star Wars, I guess. I wonder if there will be an article on cities that can be related to both franchise (the town of Vulcan in Alberta, Canada and Tataouine, Tunesia).
I do like movies like Star Wars and Star Trek. I am just a bit less tolerent on those who goes way over the top, like the ones in the article. I find it is just too much. I don't mind those who goes to convention in cosplay, they are sure have much time to make something amazing. Maybe it is just me...
