Rickie La Touche, 30, claimed that Pornpilai Srisroy, 28, damaged the Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker memorabilia that he had built up since he was child.
During a subsequent row, he suffocated his wife then ran off sobbing to his mother who lived in a nearby street.
A relative discovered Ms Pornpilai lying dead on the couples double bed covered by a duvet with a pillow over her face.
La Touche later told police that his wife had smashed up his Star Wars collection as part of a campaign to make his life hell.
