Wait, he hates Star Wars so much he destroyed all of his collection? I know he's done con appearances in the past.

I remember there was an interview with him a while back (maybe it's on youtube or something, I can't be sure) where he revealed that he was bullied a great deal at school for all the star wars stuff. That and the fact that irate fans would come up to him as he was growing up and insult him for simply being in the prequels, blaming him for a lot of stuff that he had no involvement in. If I were him, having most memories of star wars associated with some sort of abuse, I would probably feel pretty bitter about the whole thing too.

Then again, I am half remembering all of this so take what I say with a grain of salt. I'm probably remembering most of this wrong.
