Jedi May Sue for Religious Rights

This article came to my attention, and I thought it should be shared.

The founder of International Church of Jediism was ordered by a store to leave or uncover his head, something that violates the tenets of Jediism. Jediism, a religion based on the Jedi Code of Star Wars, has an estimated 500,000 followers worldwide.

However, it should be noted, in defense of Tesco, that in a 2006 British bill to protect religious freedom, Jediism was specifically excluded all with Satan worshipers.

I, for one, am interested in seeing how this plays out.

  2. LW -- I'm curious as to how this is going to turn out, so I'll have my ears perked for further news.

    On a side note, yesterday I could hardly keep from feeling like a Jedi whenever I put on a hood. This, though, did not inspire a conversion to Jediism.
