Jedi Academy opens in Romania

A Star Wars acedemy that teaches about the religion of the Jedi, use of the light sabre and speaking in Wookiee has opened its doors in Romania.

Adrian Pavel, who runs the country's Star Wars Club, decided to found the Jedi Academy after getting so many questions from fellow fans on how they can be more like their heroes in the Star Wars films.

He told local daily Libertatea: "We have meetings and lectures, and we dress like Jedis, but this is no longer enough. We'll soon learn how to handle the light sabres in academy classes.

"The academy is open to everybody. There is a quiz with 100 questions that will cover even the darkest aspects of the Star Wars phenomenon that needs to be done in 24 hours. Anyone who passes quiz will have a place in the Jedi Academy."

The academy is also offering special modules for true devotees, like cooking some of the dishes seen in the Star Wars films including Wookiee Cookies, Princess Leia Danish donughts, Sand Trooper sandwiches and Twin Sun toasts.

Why does this not surprise me?

it's madness!!!!!, i wonder if they get to choose whether they join the darkside?

Sounds great, now if only they had one in Canada. lol But seriously, it sounds like a great place to meet like minded people. *ahh*

I betchya George Lucas or 20th Century Fox files copyright lawsuits.

Or considering the quality of the last couple of scripts it's safe to say George has lost his mind so maybe he'll donate a Jabba the Hut standee or something.
