TWO Star Wars fans are in a critical condition in hospital after duelling with lightsabres made by filling fluorescent light tubes with petrol.

The pair - a man aged 20 and a girl of 17 - are believed to have been filming a mock fight when one of the devices exploded in woodland on Sunday.

They were rushed to West Herts Hospital before being transferred to the specialist burns unit at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, in Essex.

Police say a third person present at the incident was questioned.

Hmm.... must be Darth Sidious pitting those two against each other to see who'll be worthy to be his right-hand Sith.

'Star Wars' Fans Hurt Replicating Sabers :roll:

LONDON (AP) - Two "Star Wars" fans were critically injured when they tried to replicate the light sabers used in the movie by filling glass fluorescent light tubes with fuel, police and a news report said Tuesday.

The pair, Mark Webb, 20, and an unidentified 17-year-old girl, were planning to make a video recording of a duel like those in the just-released blockbuster film "Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith," Britain's Press Association news agency said.

They were injured when one of the makeshift sabers exploded Sunday evening in the woods in Hemel Hempstead, north of London.

Hertfordshire Police said a third person present when the explosion happened had been questioned. The department said the two who were injured were in critical condition at a burns unit in Chelmsford, Essex.

"At this stage we are unable to confirm the exact circumstances, but glass tubes and traces of accelerant (flammable substance) were found at the scene," police said.

First, they blame Matrix. Now, the blame Star Wars. If this keeps up, everything will be blamed!

Oh wait, everything is already being blamed! :roll:

As if they can't accept their own responsibility of using common sense and at least separate fiction from reality. Geez... :popcorn:
 
Movies does affect ppl's behaviors.

I heard in '79 of a spanish boy with a small bed sheet tied to his neck jumped out of a tall building because he was a superman fan.

I'm sure he's sitting on Mr Reeve's lap or the other way around by now.
