I have heard about this. Silly, me thinks. Part of the idea of the Force was to have a non-demoniational God that everyone could relate to. Star Wars takes themes found in reliogions the world over and uses them in the movies. That's what makes it so universally appealing. To make a religion out of it misses the point

Nova you wicken? just curious. I's not freky I supose I jumped the gun but it seems like alot of diffrent people have diffrent belifs and are roling it into the name Jediisum. I find all reldgion fasanating . I'm kindda on a quest not necicarily to find a religion but myself and belifs. Same thing everyone else does in life. I belive in life energy negative positieve. How youre energy in covayed is how you recive it 10 times full. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. the strenghth and spirit within animals all that. I'ts facinating astrology hey heres a cool sight www.wanderingstarjewelry.com they make mathamaticaly corect astrology jewlery you give them the time place and date you were born they make it off that. It's supose to make you remember youre path and destiny in life. Just a thought

Not exactly Wiccan, it's more eclectic than that, but most people understand the Wiccan term, similar beliefs, but there is a lot of my Native American heritage & beliefs from that mixed in. May the Lady light yopur path.

I'm half native american and really reasing alot about their religion. I wish I could find my tribal association I ve been down all paths their posiably are so I've written it of as one of the many mysterys in my life. That's why I'm so fasinated by relegion. I found my spirit animal. very cool Nova I like it!!!

Would you belive? At bowling last night a friend was telling me about an article she read in the paper about the fact that a bunch of people in Australia (approx. 70,000) had registered as being of the Jedi religion, so the govt. has to recognise it legally, she said they did it as a prank.... SHADES of L RON HUBBARD!!!!

that number is acctually quite larger ::has a copy of Cinescape magazine:: the article reads
"In the Australian census, over 250,000 registered their religion as "Jedi." That would put Jedis as more numerouse than Luthrans, Baptist and members of the Church of Latter-Day Saints."

I had heard that in England too, enough people had responded in a census or poll or something that their religion was Jedi and now England has to acknowledge it as an official religion.
