A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, college graduates used to be able to separate reality from fantasy. Not so for the Princeton class of 2012. While planning their five year class reunion, they decided to make it “Star Wars” themed. This included dressing up like characters from the movies. This included the option of ordering a Stormtrooper costume. All well and good, right? Nope! Why? Nazis.

A rules committee organizing a five-year class reunion party in early June around the fictional “Star Wars” universe was contacted about characters allegedly inspired by World War II-era events. Subsequently, Stormtroopers will not be allowed.

An update sent to those who RSVP’d to an Eventbright invitation was obtained Tuesday by Heatstreet.

“A few of our classmates reached out expressing concerns over our choice to use Stormtroopers as our costume inspiration,” the email said. “We have been informed of the origin of this word and its connections to early- to mid-20th century Germany. This is something neither we nor anyone on your Reunion Committee were aware of, but something we take very seriously. Tonight we made the unanimous decision to remove these costumes.”

Individuals who already ordered a Stormtrooper costume through the committee were informed that they would receive a different outfit instead, Heatstreet reported.

Are we really sure these people graduated from college? Is this Godwin’s class reunion?
