Or at least as real as anything from Wales can be. I think it really makes the Jedi look bad that fucking Tescos has more of a sense of humor about their religion than they do. And, ok, maybe that implies that they really do take the stuff seriously... In which case THAT implies that I need to quickly round up some friends and start a Sith religion. We'll have to reject Darth Bane's rule of 2, but we can work it out.

I wonder why these people made it part of their religion that they can't remove their hoods in public? Or why they join if doing so cause them emotional humiliation?

Ah well, who cares anyway. 500000 is pretty small as religions go.

On the one hand you have to give it to them. What's this but a well deserved mockery of the hate laws set up in Britain by politically correct, spineless politicians in order to pander to the aggressive Muslim immigrant population?

On the other hand, from a Star Wars lore perspective it's pretty silly. Who made the hood into an ordained piece of Jedi uniform anyway? As far as I can tell, the hood made its entry as part of Sir Alec Guinness Tatooine desert dwelling garb. Completely by accident. It was never intended to claim status as Jedi uniform!

Interesting that you've brought up the Jedi garb topic. I wondered the same. I never thought that Obi-Wan's clothes were supposed to be a Jedi uniform, it just seemed that's what people on Tatooine wore. Owen's clothes were almost exactly the same. That's why it kind of surprised me that Yoda wore the same, but originally I'm not so sure it was supposed to be that way.

Nearly everybody in STAR WARS wears a hooded outfit at some time or another. Hoods and capes. Han I think is the only human who avoids this. So yeah. Brown burlap hooded cloaks as an official outfit, and always up on top of that?

This is by the way the dumbest "religion" ever conceived. They have no set of rules for living, they have no creation mythology, they have no doctrine, no ritual. All they have is a series of movie and some pretentious fucking wankery about having to wear hoodies, to be enforced only when they're asked to remove them. You think if they didn't ask this person to take the hood off it wouldn't have just come down the moment it got too hot?

Nerds < nerds en masse < nerds en mass + internet. Yikes.

Dear oh dear oh dear!

1. I didn't realise that that god awful attempt to have the "Jedi Religion" acknowledged as a religion actually succeeded anywhere.
2. Shame on Wales for allowing this stupidity.
3. Shame on the Jedi in question for not being able to produce the most fundamental of "mind tricks" to get out of the situation. Looks like they have modeled themselves on the Luke Skywalker, whine to get what you want approach to the force.
4. Hahahahahahahahahahahahha
