with how many times this plot has appeared in anime, is there a cultural problem of children in japan who think anime and video games are real or something?

Chūnibyō (中二病) is a Japanese colloquial term that translates to "middle two disease", i.e. "middle-school second-year syndrome" or "eighth-grader syndrome", typically used to describe early teens who have delusions of grandeur, who so desperately want to stand out that they have convinced themselves they have hidden knowledge or secret powers.

i hadn't gotten deep into anime yet at this age. and I avoided getting into star wars until after i graduated college, specifically to avoid getting drawn into this behavior...

Eh?  I don't remember any "scares" with anime or Star Wars like how idiots thought D&D players were Devil worshippers.
