This whole thing with "Jedi church" in England pisses me off. I can't think of anything more assinine than trying to make a religion or spiritual practice out of a barely defined mystical warrior order in a space fantasy movie, except maybe Scientology.

I'm surprised Lucas hasn't sued those morons. They need to get laid.

A barely defined mystic in a fantasy setting? Sounds strangely close to most religion.

Not really. Most religions have defined teachings and guidance for life... the Jedi just have vague pronouncments about not letting your anger get the best of you and what not. Good advice... but you can't build a religion off that. Of course, Jedi Church actually lifts tons of stuff from religions all over the world to make their shit seem to make sense.
