To Jedi For
Tue, 20 Aug 2002, 03:39 pmNot really theatre related, but I suppose a tribute to the power (force?) of a strong character and story idea...
'Jedi Knight' has been offically recognised as a religion in the UK census. (Thanks to the power of email, a similar campaign happened during Australia's last census...wonder if it will achieve the same result?)
Interesting article at:

70,000 worship Jedi
August 27, 2002
MORE than 70,000 Australians identified their religion as Jedi, Jedi Knight or Jedi-related in last year's national census.
The high number of Jedi-related religions was a response to an e-mail published before the census, calling on Star Wars fans to state Jedi as their religion.
The e-mail stated that if enough people did so, Jedi would become a fully recognised and legal religion.
However the Australian Bureau of Statistics says Jedi or Jedi-related responses have been categorised as not defined for census output purposes.
The 70,509 Jedis represent 0.37 per cent of responses to the optional question on religion.
