So, you want to be a Jedi?, page 1
Topic started on 9-2-2003 @ 02:25 PM by LOBO
This may be old news to some of the hardcore Star Wars geeks abroad, but I thought I'd bring it up, anyway...
A couple of weeks ago, I was looking for various subjects included in the Star Wars movies, one of which being the "philosophies behind the jedi religion" (NOTE: I was looking for this so I could act as though I were an actual Jedi for the next convention that rolls around, so I could have the speech and such to go with my outfit....anyway...). I stumbled across this: www.jediism.org...
This sounds really bogus, and I am almost certain that it is, but it's still fun to have a look. Have phun!

I am the Star Wars geek, fear my
idiocy!
. I have discovered that, while the entire idea (probably) was actually
stolen from Lucas' movies, the philosophies behind the beliefs still help...they help me at least. I lived in pure hatred for the better part of 3
years, and when I became a Star Wars geek, 7 years ago (I'm 16, if it matters), I began trying to believe the entire belief behind "Jediism". I do,
in fact, meditate on various aspects of "the Force", and do my best not to feel fear, anger or hatred, etc. as Yoda instructs every student in the
Order. I have found that it actually helps! (non-geeks, insert critisism here.) reply posted on 10-2-2003 @ 02:03 PM by Byrd
There's lots of Star Wars costuming groups at science fiction conventions. One of the more comprehensible lists is at:
www.locusmag.com...
At CopperCon (Arizona) the have a very active SW group that does costuming and gaming and programming. Fun bunch!

Jedis are a force to be reckoned with

LONDON (Reuters) - It's official -- "Star Wars" has created almost 400,000 Jedis in Britain.
Over 390,000 people wrote "Jedi" on their 2001 census form, more than those who registered their faith as Jewish, Buddhist or Sikh in the optional question on religion, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said on Thursday.
The Jedis declared their belief after a campaign on the Internet asked people to "do it because you love Star Wars" or "just to annoy people".
"Star Wars devotees stated their faith as 'Jedi' in the mistaken belief that if 10,000 did so it would be recognised as an official religion," a spokesman for the ONS said.
The census question on religion offered a series of tick-boxes for the major religions, including a free space for "any other religion".
In the films, the Jedi knights are a noble order of protectors unified by their belief in a universal power called the Force.

Just so y'all know, I have absolutely no interest in Star Wars, but I did circulate an e-mail around Scotland asking people to put Jedi as their religion for the purpose of annoying the government
